  1. For there to be a rivalry, the other team needs to consider you a rival too. Rays/Yankees/Red Sox probably consider each other their rivals while we are not in the picture. This will probably change now that we're good again and hopefully can sustain it.
  2. Was Texas but isn't anymore. This core will need to find their own rivals now that we're relevant again.
  3. Ray lost to the Yankees too. The pack is getting closer together again.
  4. Tough to compare prospects to elite ones like Vlad and Bo. There aren't many of those walking around and if they're anywhere near those guys, we're looking at a dynasty.
  5. Payamps kept this game within reach. Never forget...
  6. I will never s*** on his bat and anyone doing that is just crazy. For sure he needs to work on his eye but everything else is too elite to ever worry.
  7. f*** man. Why is Panik batting 6th. Although I still have faith he'll come through
  8. I had explained in another thread that you don't move players of Bo's/Springer's calibre from their spots based on a short sample size, especially for a player on a 1 year deal. It's the same reason why Semien is playing 2B and Bo is still at SS. Now if Bo keeps struggling and Semien remains on a tear for longer then there's a chance. Being put 5th is still in a great run producing position.
  9. Lineup should be: CF Springer SS Bo 1B Vlad LF Teo 2B Semien RF Grichuk DH Gurriel C Kirk 3B Biggio
  10. Not to mention the whole splitting up lefties thing isn't as impactful unless you have them further apart in the lineup with the 3 batter minimum rule for pitchers. Just put the better players where they belong and if all things are equal then use the lefty/righty thing as a deciding factor. Same should apply for when Charlie brings in a crappier pitcher from the bullpen just because of a lefty/lefty or righty/righty matchup. The calibre of player should be the biggest priority.
  11. Oh I def agree with that. I'm all about do what's best for your team but just stating what I think will happen because of Semien's current contractual status. We had 0 issues with moving Vlad all over last year offensively/defensively when he wasn't performing and I feel Bo should be no different. Although we had the weight excuse to lessen the blow with Vlad last year. However, the main reason why anyone is throwing strikes to Bo right now is because Vlad is behind him as someone already mentioned previously. I'm scared to think how he'd perform if moved down and like you said, batting 5th is still a great spot in this lineup and probably where I see Semien realistically.
  12. Was about to say the same thing. You don't move players of Springer's/Bo's calibre, especially for a player on a 1 year deal. It's the same reason why Semien is playing 2B and Bo is at SS... Springer Bo Vlad Teo Semien Grichuk Gurriel Jansen (eventually Kirk) Biggio I have Biggio 9th instead of 8th because I'd rather him hit knowing Springer is behind him than having to be aggressive because of Jansen. Patient Biggio > Aggressive Biggio.
  13. Looks good man. I couldn't stand the fanbase in Tampa. Open the damn borders already and let our team back. The US should be more concerned letting Canadians in than vice versa.
  14. I f***ing hate this idiot. Can't say it any nicer any longer.
  15. Douche is so quick to pull starters but doesn't feel it's important to do that for relievers. Such pathetic all around.
  16. How many good bullpen arms do we even have? That is why you don't waste your good arms when you don't have to. Oh but they haven't worked in a while so let's use then for the f*** of it...
  17. When you should leave a player in, this douche takes them out. And when it's clearly you should have a plan B ready, he leaves them in
  18. More than half the people agreed with that decision so that says something...
  19. Where are all the people at who wanted to use our bullpen last game. This is why you save your few good bullets unless it's absolutely required!!!!!!
  20. This is why people bitch about Romano and company being used last game...
