  1. That's my boy Varsho right there!
  2. You have a high opinion of yourself for somebody who's always wrong about this team.
  3. We obviously have different definitions of legit. I like Berrios, but in a playoff rotation he's miscast as a number two. Really good number three though. Pen is deep and very good, but nobody elite in there. Funny enough Kikuchi actually has the chops to be a legit number two, he's showing that recently, but this could just be a blip.
  4. Well we keep expecting it to change and it's getting pretty late now and it hasn't changed. So at this point I'm not expecting it anymore. I think we're going to struggle mightily the score against good teams with good arms in the postseason.
  5. Yes we all know that anything can happen if you make the postseason. But the pitfalls with this team are obvious. The offense is a big problem. Might that miraculously change? Sure but at this point we can't really expect it to.
  6. It's not just about that. It's one of the deepest for sure. Our bullpen was pitching pretty well at the end of last season, it wasn't near the top throughout the season but it was pitching well towards the end, but it lacked elite arms and so when we got into trouble we didn't have a shutdown option. We still don't. We will see what Green has to offer but the best we have is probably still Romano. He's not elite. We have a higher floor now, which is good, more depth, but we may not really have a higher ceiling.
  7. Unless this version of Kikuchi is suddenly the real deal, we still have a number 1, a couple of 3's and a 4 as our starters. You still need somebody to pair with Gausman to form a legit one-two punch. This version of Kikuchi would do it, but is this real or just a good run? The bullpen will be very deep and very very good, definitely a strength, but we still don't have a truly elite pitcher in the pen. This offense though, against elite pitching, it's going to be putrid. They give the pitching no margin for error.
  8. Ward was filth. One of the filthiest we ever had. Short career though. From 1989-93, he was fun to watch.
  9. I wouldn't bet the house on it that's for sure
  10. Vladdy should be thrown into the f***ing lake at this point.
  11. Yeah "more minors involved" is a combination of words that could never be good.
  12. I don't know what they did with the real Kikuchi, but I'm enjoying watching this dude.
  13. It may not be a fire yet, but there's a whole lot of smoke starting to billow.
  14. MLB can start to care anytime they want to start to care. Again, it's business, if this becomes a story that gets a lot of traction they will "care". For how many years did Major League baseball look the other way on domestic abuse or sexual abuse? When society forces them to "care", they "care". Not that I want to single out MLB, that's the way it's always been pretty much everywhere. Nobody really cares until they are forced to.
  15. These types of age rules at around the high school age can be a little bit confusing and most people don't even really pay attention to them at that age. In high school we had a 19 and 14, back when high school was 5 years. The 14-year-old developed nice honkers early. I was 16 when they started dating, so I was well within my right to look at her honkers🙂. From what I understand this was just barely legal, not that I think anyone checked or cared. 22 and 14 pushes beyond what most people would consider comfortable boundaries.
  16. This team has gotten progressively worse in each of the last two years. 2021 was the year, but they were not aggressive enough in getting us more pitching, especially in the bullpen and especially earlier in the season.
  17. As I said when he was traded here, incredible arm, but he does give up base runners, he's a butt clenching type of pitcher.
  18. It's a team game, even Barry Bonds in Roided up Playstation mode couldn't carry his team to a championship. Joey was a beast. He rose to the occasion in several key moments. I would kill to have somebody like Joey Bats on our team right now. He was a master of his craft and took his job seriously. He was a killer. He demanded respect and was unapologetic to anybody who didn't like the cut of his jib. I wish he would teach Vladdy how to hit a f***ing cookie.
  19. So what's with all the Hagen Danner scuttlebutt I'm hearing? Has he been called up and who does he replace?
