  1. Now that the Bo thing is settled, and really has been settled for a few days I would think, I'm much more interested in the other decisions that were made.
  2. No Bo apparently. Maybe this great misdirection will throw a massive monkey wrench into the plans of the unprepared Mariners.
  3. It's not hockey, there's nothing to gain by hiding this. It's not like the Mariners don't know what's wrong with him. It's not like they can target him the way they do in hockey, no matter what happens they know he's not close to 100% with that knee.
  4. Well this is obviously about pain isn't it? He clearly is struggling with the pain. Some guys are built to fight through it and some guys aren't. Unless of course they intend to inject him with a f*** ton of painkillers. It doesn't look like he's close.
  5. As I've been saying, know when to fold 'em with Bo. He's not close, and it's not like you don't have other options to formulate a good lineup. I'd be shocked if he's ready for the World Series if we get there. It's very possible he's played his last game as a Blue Jay.
  6. The problem with year long statistics is they don't necessarily reflect where a team is right now. In the Mariners case, they had injuries to their pitching staff and they obviously made some key additions at the deadline. They have some really good arms and they have a lot of power in their lineup. Game changing power. They also have a real closer. These are two very good teams and I think it will be important to take care of your home field in this series
  7. Absolutely, everyone is very excited about getting them while they're down but of course that can turn around on us real fast if we don't take care of business. They know their backs are back against the wall here early in the series. I don't expect them to lay down. It's never easy, at this point nothing is.
  8. Yeah but that's just jogging around the bases, what happens when he's way out in front of a pitch or when he has to make a quick cut and stop and start up again? Whatever, they're going to do what they're going to do but there are downsides to bringing him back, at this point I'm not sure it's worth it given that he's clearly not 100%.
  9. I think hobbling after taking a swing is probably not good. Nothing about his situation suggests that he's close. They're trying to force this.
  10. After seeing video of Bo take some swings today, I think we need to just give up on the idea. He looks awful. He's not Bo Bichette. Think of the downsides: Bo hasn't faced real pitching in a month, now you put him up against Seattle? A guy who is already a liability defensively and running the bases is now even more of a liability in that regard. He would likely force us to have to compromise more defense somewhere else. It probably results in a guy like Santander, a power threat switch hitter who looks like he's finally getting his timing back, getting fewer at bats. You got to know when to fold 'em.
  11. This is absolutely ridiculous.
  12. Members of the crowd look like they're tweaked.
  13. Well Derek Jeter directly insinuated on the air that Boone is not calling the moves that they make.
  14. Santander has to play, he's got one of our more dangerous power bats and I like the way his at bats have been looking. The problem of course is that you have 3 DH players for one slot. This is why I'm not convinced that Bo will make it.
  15. I personally do not agree with dropping Nance for Scherzer. Nance has been great all year, and gave up a grand total of 0 home runs. That's a particularly important statistic. I wouldn't necessarily use Nance against an elite right-handed hitter but against your run-of-the-mill righties, he's solid. With the off days you shouldn't need too much length but if you do need length Lauer can probably give you three innings.
  16. I'm still not sure if we see Bichette. If you get rid of IKF, assuming Bo can't play defense, which I think is a safe assumption considering he's barely started jogging, it really limits your flexibility. You would then have three guys who you prefer to be DH's. That's too many of those guys and not enough defense. Bassitt for Bruihl is an obvious one. I don't think we ever see Scherzer again. We don't need five starters and I'd rather have bullpen guys over him coming out of the bullpen.
  17. Why didn't we get a closer at the deadline? Why did we have to be the team with Mitch Williams?
  18. If Hoffman can't lock down this save we seriously need to drop him into Lake Ontario.
  19. Idiots. Jeff Hoffman is more than capable of blowing this. Judge is up fifth.
