  1. Not a great throw or anything but that was incredibly non athletic lazy effort to keep that ball from sailing to CF by Valdez
  2. Manoah isn't throwing hard but he's getting a s*** load of run on that fastball.
  3. Awesome to see him on the mound.
  4. If I knew the wind situation I would not have picked Merrifield tonight lol. I thought he could sneak one over the monster. Not with this wind lol.
  5. Really happy to see Varsho locking in. He's a really exciting player when all aspects of his game are working.
  6. Would be interesting to see if the White Sox trade Dylan Cease knowing there probably not going to be good by the time hes a free agent. Probably would be the time the Orioles can make use of that golden system to go get a top of the rotation arm.
  7. Would be sick if nobody throws at anybody and Manoah can just get Verdugo out because that's been a huge issue in this series. Tons of base runners and Red Sox hitters not getting out.
  8. I feel if Schneider rolled with Gausman and it failed he would have got substantially less criticism. He could have just said that's our game we brought him in to make pitches in those situations and that's probably the last we hear about it. Mayza was definitely not the right reliver in that scenario. Nor was Tapia in LF the right defensive change. Nobody here can argue that.
  9. I will accept that good decisions can be subjective. That doesn’t mean I can’t criticize when I don’t agree with them. Like is that not the point of a message board to discuss this s*** even though we have no control over the outcome lol. Even the right decision fails sometimes. I just feel tactically as a Baseball team our manager can be putting us in a better position to be successful.
  10. You’re right I don’t. But if it doesn’t work like that and his hands truly are tied. I have question if that’s even an enjoyable position to be in. You get all the blame but don’t push the buttons? I would like to feel these managers have some level of freedom. If you’re in the GDT’s you would know I call out most of these things at the time. This isn’t a Jonn’s right scenario though. I just don’t understand why he feels these decisions are his best moves. That’s the underlying factor. But I also don’t have to access to all the information.
  11. May 3 Vladdy - 1 Point - jaysblue, wilko Bichette - 1 Point - Stangstag Chapman - 1 Point - Varsho - 2 Points - Dylan Springer - 2 Points - Kirk - 3 Points - JaysAllMighty Kiermaier - 4 Points - Merrifield - 5 Points - Jonn Espinal - 6 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points -
  12. It’s my understanding that he gets presented with info and he can make a decision based on the information he has. But he can make his own decision. The way people sound on this board sometimes is just wild to me. They act like Atkins has a gun to his head telling him what to do at all times. There’s definitely suggestion and a gameplan. But the at the end of day hes the one with the fingers pointed at him when things go wrong. He’s making a lot of these choices and it hasn’t been going well for him. Rightfully he should be criticized. I’m not saying I or anyone else can do a better job than him. I’m just calling things out as I see them. I’m allowed to do that without people getting butt hurt about it lol. I just want to see the team win when I see clear mistakes that are correctable I kind would like to hear both the reasoning behind it and how you’re going to fix it. The guy had 5+ months to think about Game 2 of the playoffs last year. And he makes the same mistake a few weeks into the season. I’m not very confident at this point he’s capable of correcting his mistakes. Its really not anything more than that.
  13. Pederson would be perfect LF/1B/DH Has power obviously has played and performed well in big moments. Give us a legit lefty bat you can put in the middle of the lineup.
  14. Does anyone really care about Minor League Success lol? You’re as good as the players you have. Even Montoyo stumbled into some success. If you’re telling me John Scheneider is a glorified puppet and someone is pulling all the strings. The person controlling him might be the real issue yes. He doesn’t appear capable of making simple routine decisions. He can’t even get Whit Merrifield in the lineup every day.
  15. Jays are definitely going to need to add a bat at some point. I have feeling they will stand fairly pat on the pitching side. Especially if Ryu and Green emerge at some point. We definitely don’t want to see another flame thrower traded for a Mitch White type.
  16. I mean the problem has been he was taking out Starters at 88 pitches that are throwing well lol. The time he finally decides to push Berrios was a start he was getting hit around and was quite frankly lucky to have only allowed 2 runs at that point. It’s a feel position and he appears to have very little feel for the game.
  17. He appears to be much more effective in shorter stints. But the harder he tries to flow absolutely flattens out his fastball and it’s getting clobbered.
  18. Manoah might have to take it on the chin tomorrow. Not many fresh options to pitch. Hopefully hes good though!
  19. Yea if only we played in that division as well. s*** like that doesn't happen in the AL East lol.

    Panthers are legit. Leaves players knew that. Now Leaves fan do as well.
  21. I mean I was good at it for awhile. But I have been slumping hard.
  22. I was just going to say maybe Kiermaier trys to aggressive here and steal. Never got a f***ing shot. First pitch roll over.
  23. Well atleast the Leaves lost.
