  1. Kirk is back tomorrow so they could just keep Sanchez up.
  2. Good inning. Haven't had a lot of leads lately.
  3. Purely defensively? I might give the slight edge to Varsho. I don't know what the advanced metrics say. I'm quite content to have either one of them out there defensively.
  4. Does he have those numbers against this specific pitcher cuz if not it doesn't really matter much.
  5. Well s***, at least we weren't the Yankees tonight.
  6. France is truly a square peg in a round hole on this team.
  7. This has been an unfortunate development. After a great start, he hasn't looked like the same guy lately. It looked like he would be a nice leverage arm for us.
  8. So Green passed the baton to Fluharty I guess.
  9. Wacha sliced and diced us tonight. It wasn't even competitive.
  10. Are we at a point where we can say Eric Lauer is our the best pitcher currently on the team?
  11. I don't mind, let him get the adrenaline out and get it out of the way. We don't have a lot of garbage in our bullpen left anymore so if you have multiple innings you have to fill in a loss you have to use some good arms.
  12. 7th? Depends, his performance will dictate where he is in the pecking order. Obviously I don't want him in the rotation unless he's better than the other guys. He has the talent to be better than just about everyone in our rotation. We just don't know if it'll be a Jekyll or Hyde version of Manoah because he has been both in his career. I remember having these conversation's about Stroman in 2015. Exact same type of conversations, people wrote him off too then he ended up being the number two pitcher in the postseason behind Price. Aren't we basically asking Bieber to do the same thing? We're asking Bieber to immediately return to form after a major surgery. He's basically on the exact same timeline as Manoah.
  13. Why not both? I don't know if Gausman will go all the way back to his ace form, he is in his mid thirties, but if he can continue to pitch even a notch or two below that, it would be a welcome boost. Manoah is in his prime. The potential is still there. Again, I'm not expecting it but I'm not giving up hope either until I know there's no hope.
  14. So with everything that happened, and a deadline that I personally am satisfied with... I still think we need Manoah to return to a starting caliber postseason pitcher this year. I know it still might be a long shot but I'm holding out hope. His presence could really lengthen that playoff rotation and allow us to go nose to nose with the best rotations out there. Unless he sucks of course. Fingers crossed.
  15. I think their pen was the biggest need. They made great additions there. They also got a top base stealer for the postseason which is a smart thing to grab if you need to steal a run in a close game. With Gil returning, they now have their front three, Warren and Shlittler take care of the back end.
  16. Quick, everybody panic!
  17. Yeah those motherf***ers really needed more rotation help. Damn that will not be a fun team to face in the playoffs. Think of the top three that's coming your way.
  18. Padres are some mad scientists. They add a touch of fun to things
  19. 2022 was Beiber's last healthy year, not 2023, he had injuries in 2023. If you want to argue that his health is a concern, fair enough, but a healthy Bieber>>Gausman
  20. What he said. Bieber was one of the absolute studs in baseball before his UCL gave in.
  21. He is absolutely better than Gausman. He's an ace in every way.
  22. What would you have preferred? It's a seller's market. We needed an ace, there aren't many available. Mid-rotation depth is useless for this team. So the other option is to do nothing about our rotation.
