    It's getting pretty crazy on the interwebs. We may exceed Kawhi Leonard levels of insanity. For the first time I'm actually believing this could possibly happen.
  2. Masterbather
    Why do people have to bring politics into everything?
  3. Masterbather
    Even if you like Varsho, whatever, he's not useless, but I don't believe in trading a highly rated prospect for an okay player, I think you save those guys to feature in a package for a blockbuster piece. I don't like the asset management.

    I actually watched a good amount of Arizona games in 2022, not to watch them but mostly because I was watching for other teams, a lot of Dodgers and Padres, plus other various teams. I probably ended up watching between 50 and 60 Diamondbacks games just in 2022. Maybe 25 or 30 the year before. I'm a bit of a night owl so I catch a lot of West coast games. Dude can play defense but he's not special. I don't consider him impact even in his better seasons.
  5. Masterbather
    Given the talent they had, the money they have, I think they should have done better. I'm not suggesting they're the worst, but they've been here for a while and I would just like to see us go in a different direction. At this point, if you honestly assess where we are and where we're going we're not in a great place. The two best players on the team both have significant long-term risk. One has very little discipline at the plate, the other one is completely lost. The rotation is made of free agent signings mostly in their 30's. They aren't old but they're not young. If there is a window here it's very short and maybe disappearing already. Orioles and Rays aren't going away for a while and the Yankees will rise again. I think it's time to consider a rebuild and you can't do that with the same management team. Obviously, ownership has decided to keep trying so I guess we should just spend and hope to find one magical year in the next couple.

    Well numbers do lie sometimes. Anyone who watched enough Diamondbacks games knew he was a trash bag with good defense. He's not an impact piece. Moreno certainly had value, enough that you could put him in a package to get an impact piece. Maybe not necessarily Soto, but somebody. Truth be told I really didn't expect much this offseason, we don't have a lot of assets left to trade, there's not much out there offensively and I don't believe the Ohtani hype one bit. The one thing we can do is go even more in on pitching. That's where I would spend the money. Get a true number 2, get a good depth vet, get Hader. Offensively, I guess whatever IF bat you can trade for with a Manoah package. Maybe bring in a veteran bat like they did with Belt for a year.
  7. Masterbather
    Go ahead and keep believing whatever religion tells you that this team's management is any good.
  8. Masterbather
    Well if you have all this money for the unicorn then you have money to extend Soto. The point is to trade him as part of a package for a real superstar, Soto or somebody else, but not the trash bag that we did trade him for.
  9. Masterbather
    Well, there goes Soto, as expected. Yankees will extend him and have a killer one-two punch for years to come. Would have been nice to have Moreno for such a deal, but we pissed him away for defensive proficiency. Judge/Soto vs Guerrero/Bo...LOL Meanwhile we are dreaming in technicolour with a unicorn whose value we are being used to drive up for himself and his agent. Fourth place here we come! The slow decline that started after 2021 will see its way into a rebuild in a year or two.
  10. Masterbather
    Ohtani will be a Dodger and I don't like the price for Soto, he'll probably be a Yankee although I don't know why the Padres would rush that deal and not wait for the Ohtani losers to chime in. I hope we don't make any panic trades. We will have to fill holes internally and with short term signings for next year. It could be a rough ride. I'd focus on starting depth and maintaining a strong pen. We will probably have to lean on pitching again.
  11. Masterbather
    Well it goes to show that Cinderella teams can go far but it's rare that they finish the deal. Texas found enough pitching which is all their offense needed.
  12. Masterbather
    Don't know if cuck is used correctly here, maybe simp would be better?
  13. Masterbather
    You really shouldn't have world series caps unless you've actually won the world series. They should have championship series winning caps.
  14. Masterbather
    Eat a dick Philly! Zona to the WS🙂 Happy for Moreno and Gurriel. Good luck boys!
  15. Masterbather
    Filthy stuff
  16. Masterbather
    Looks like he'll be pitching in the WS, so he's good
  17. Masterbather
    DBacks are the only hope for a winner that I can actually enjoy.
  18. Masterbather
    Nope, that's the way the playoffs works, in all sports. Does the Superbowl have a credibility problem? Do the NBA finals have a credibility problem? Does the Stanley Cup have a credibility problem? At the end of the day the champion is the one holding the trophy. Nobody questions that, if you want to have a private celebration for the team that won the most games have fun. It'll be a lonely celebration. Besides, the point of sports ultimately is entertainment. Nobody really cares if the team with the most wins in the regular season wins the championship. Every team enters the season knowing full well that the winner of the playoffs is the champion.
  19. Masterbather
    Really cool NLCS. Phillies are fun but I'm sticking with 'Zona.
  20. Masterbather
    Extremely disappointed but not at all surprised. Two peas in a pod. Another year to further f*** over this organization. He knows that if he fires Atkins, the next bullet might get put in his head. So you don't want to play that card too quickly.
  21. Masterbather
    They shouldn't have. It's even more annoying for the road team. Some opposing team fans get irrationally upset by hearing that song after the Leafs score. That's good enough for me. Never really bothered me to begin with.
  22. Masterbather
    Great analysis. It's a tougher case to make for the Red Sox but not entirely outside the realm of possibility, they do have talent. The Yankees aren't far off at all. King looked great in the rotation. Just a healthier season from the Yankees would have had them neck and neck with us this year. They just need a couple of stop gap solutions and another big power bat along with a little bit better luck in the health department. Maybe a back end veteran arm. The Blue Jays have significant questions, along with a major decision to make soon on a superstar who's not actually a superstar. Both teams have issues but I think the Yankees have a quicker road to success. It'll be easier for them then it will be for us. The Red Sox will need a little bit more to go their way, but to act as if it's entirely outside the realm of possibility is stupid.
  23. Masterbather
    Since I've adopted the d-backs as my team once the Blue Jays went out, speak for yourself. I would actually enjoy the Phillies and the d-backs. I didn't really care for watching Atlanta and the Dodgers. I don't like horrible underdogs but I like fun underdogs with some star power.
  24. Masterbather
    The Yankees will absolutely have a better year, Red Sox probably will as well. Given our question marks I wouldn't be surprised if one or both have a better season.
  25. Masterbather
    f*** the AL, Arizona has been my adopted team. There are a lot of fun.
