  1. Wow the club has been essentially trying to develop him into a Biggio replacement then except with the ability to even man short stop. Hopefully he doesn't look completely overwhelmed by the spotlight this time and lets the game come to him a little bit. I really like his physical toolset and he has a chance to be a difference maker if he can keep the nerves under control a bit better this time.
  2. It will be interesting to see how they work Barger into the lineup. Does this primarily move Springer to the bench? Does Barger see time at third base?
  3. Lopez has seen his numbers in a giant tailspin so the splashy debut may have just been an unsustainable hot streak.
  4. The bigger issue for me is how counterproductive that would ultimately be to have someone in charge of running a baseball operations department that isn't capable of making moves to improve the team. Just fire the guy and find someone to take over so that the team isn't stuck in stasis and missing out on available opportunities.
  5. Nobody here ever once said that AA sucks, but every time there is even a tiny shred of reasonable criticism sent his way you start slathering all over his balls with the barrage of white knight posts. We get that you absolutely idolize the guy, but eventually you should just move on with your life and accept that he chose to leave to greener pastures. Give it a f***ing rest with the Atkins cult nonsense. Nobody on here praises Atkins anywhere close to the degree that you are constantly carrying on about. Get some new material, it's not funny, remotely interesting, adds zero value to any discussion here, and is nothing more than inflammatory troll level nonsense.
  6. You literally have zero self awareness. Here you are praising AA who added Lopez and Sale to his rotation. But if Atkins made the same moves and it was praised by anyone it's because "Atkins cult". So I guess this makes you a member of the AA cult by your own logic.
  7. It's also been reported that the Jays will be covering part of Biggio's salary as well as part of the trade so that reduces the overall savings a bit.
  8. The only dudes that like your posts are the antisocial types so that should speak volumes.
  9. That sounds like a repeat of last season.
  10. Players can't control where the ball goes when it comes off of the bat. They can only control taking a good swing and making effective contact. Plenty of the time the hits simply don't drop in despite doing everything right and hitting the ball well. Baseball is a very luck driven sport sometimes, and today had a bit of bad luck on batted balls mixed in with some questionable managerial moves (not pinch hitting for Springer), some misplays in the field (Kirk throwing through on a steal with a runner on third) and some leaky relief pitching.
  11. The rest of the turds had plenty of bad luck too as the hardest hit balls largely found their way into gloves. That's baseball some times when luck doesn't go your way at the plate. Exit Velo/xBA/result Kirk 105.4/.640/lineout Kirk 100.5/.610/sac fly IKF 100.9/.560/lineout Springer 110.0/.890/lineout Vlad 98.6/.390/lineout
  12. That was Frenchsoup. He was like the mostly harmless dude who was just kind of annoying. Deanmike seemed like he had a real dark side to him and was like a hand grenade with the pin pulled.
  13. What are the chances of that? 5%? 10%? There's enough smoke here that it seems almost certain that Dante Bichette is an abusive piece of garbage.
  14. It the allegations against Dante are remotely true it's completely indefensible. Bo has literally nothing to gain by speaking up about this, and if he comes to the defense of a guy who is most likely a serial domestic abuser he's going to be absolutely roasted in the public sphere.
  15. It seems like he's still close with his father and he wasn't the primary victim so it's not surprising he doesn't want to speak about this.
  16. Deanmike legitimately seemed like the type who would murder other board members over a minor dispute.
  17. If I recall correctly Dante Bichette was charged with beating his then pregnant wife so it's really doubtful any of this is embellished in any way.
  18. Who is the Karen here exactly? I'd reckon it's the dude who outright refuses to stop using an offensive word on these forums despite repeated warnings to stop doing so, and multiple bans for using the offensive word in question. Either he's a Karen or he's just too dumb to take a hint.
  19. Not unless the league brings back the 2019 super ball and the Dodgers manage to fix Cavan's 10th percentile bat speed.
  20. I just don't think the team had the available payroll to beat the Dodgers offer to Teoscar at the point where he eventually signed. Obviously we all have the benefit of hindsight to know that Teo eventually signed for a 1 year show me kind of deal, but the front office didn't have the benefit of knowing that would eventually come to fruition.
  21. It would be a real shame if that post got him banned yet again. Apparently he's a really slow learner.
  22. It's not exactly rocket science. You are actively cheering for the team to be torn apart at the trade deadline. Literally the only way that is going to happen is of they play like s*** and fall out of the race completely.
  23. What does that have to do with anything? All the recent bans must be rotting your brain as that's completely irrelevant to this particular conversation.
  24. My bad, I must have you confused with a different poster who has been calling for the front office to blow up the team since April.
  25. I'm calling shenanigans on this post.
