    Vlad doesn’t need to yank it, he’s needs to take the f***ing ball tabby.
  2. Dagagad
    Can I swap my closer for a better reliever? I’ll be happy to do that.
  3. Dagagad
    Rays honestly. Seattle have better pitching overall probably and I’m more scared of their hitters. Either way it’s tough.
  4. Dagagad
    He’s absolutely not a top 10 reliever this year.
  5. Dagagad
    Oh yea, he absolutely was. This is why I don’t give a crap about control for relievers. It changes all the time and most aren’t great year to year. Or at least reliever control especially when they are out of options is massively overrated. He just isn’t great this year. I could see him snap back into being great next year or falling off even more. It’s impossible to predict.
  6. Dagagad
    Someone who strikes out people a lot and doesn’t give up hard contact. I’m sure you can search yourself for relievers who fit that description. There are some teams with more than 1 guy who fits that description. It’s an elite reliever. What argument are you trying to make? Have you seen romano pitch this year? Just simply by the eye test, you can see he’s a good, not great reliever.
  7. Dagagad
    If he is playing through an injury, thatÂ’s even more reason that they should bring in someone to slot above him. Or just give him 2/3 weeks off to get right.
  8. Dagagad
    That could be true. He’s obviously not that level of reliever though that he would be slotted into a closer role indefinitely. He isn’t really thriving. He’s mostly been pretty good and pretty lucky.

    We missed the playoffs by a game last year. I think the fine margins are more important than marketing. Fair enough, that might be ownership pressure or whatever, but I don’t get the defense of it…
  10. Dagagad
    Oof, that’s scary.
  11. Dagagad
    The Yankees decision to trade Montgomery seems insane to me.
  12. Dagagad
    I mean… we are a big market team that doesn’t have an elite closer or even much elite stuff in our pen in general.. and we are very happy not spending money or prospects on that … so it’s not a crazy question. I’d say that a player centric philosophy doesn’t jive well with a budget oriented approach in the pen. I’d prefer they pick a lane.

    A team literally just traded one of the best closers ever because he’s too expensive. And he’s really f***ing good. We will be paying romano way more than his talent is worth as soon as arb 2 if he continues to be the closer. I absolutely think this is something the front office thinks about. And I also believe that decisions like that are connected to each other. I don’t think that’s crazy.
  14. Dagagad
    Yes, and I’d expect that those teams that do so, are teams that aren’t interested on spending in the pen. And one of the teams that does have a dedicated closer (the brewers) just traded him because he’s too expensive. I didn’t say it was a bad strategy. I said it’s odd. If we are willing to spend so much money on romano in future years, you’d think we’d be willing to spend more in free agency or prospects right now as well.
  15. Dagagad
    It’s odd when they have a strategy of intentionally not investing much in their bullpen. That’s an odd combination. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the game day threads of idiots losing their minds when romano is making several million and is moderately unlucky and pretty good rather than moderately lucky and pretty good.
  16. Dagagad
    I’m not saying he isn’t the best option. I’m saying a lot of teams would split the saves to save money in arbitration. Other teams do that and those are also the types of teams who aren’t interested in paying much for relievers. I find the middle ground we’ve chosen to be an odd choice. Like are we really going to be happy with Romano’s arb 2 number. Probably not. But we also don’t seem to be the type of team that would do a hader like trade.
  17. Dagagad
    There isn’t going to be a real closer on this team unless he comes through our own system. That’s just the way it is. The front office has made it extremely clear over multiple deadlines and free agency that they aren’t willing to part with high value assets for relievers in money or prospects. I don’t know if a agree with it (I’d be willing to spend money and just fill the gap) but it’s also not obviously dumb either. It’s probably right long term. However, that also doesn’t mean that we have to pretend that Romano is the type of best leverage reliever that most contenders would be happy with. One thing i do find weird is that romano is given so many save opps. He is going to hit a big arb number at some point that he isn’t worth.
  18. Dagagad
    I don’t care about WAR. He gets hit too hard too much. It’s not closer stuff.
  19. Dagagad
    He’s not a middle reliever but he def doesn’t have reliable closer stuff.
  20. Dagagad
    Isn’t it kind of weird to have an entire bullpen signed for multiple years? Not good or bad, but weird. I kind of don’t want that much control over relievers unless a ton of them have options. It could be way too tempting to not upgrade or experiment in the pen because it’s ‘already solved’.
  21. Dagagad
    f*** yea! Buying some tickets now.
  22. Dagagad
    He’s in Dunedin I think or did he get moved up? If so, I’m going to see him play lol.
  23. Dagagad
    If Kepler knew how to run bases, this game would be tied.
  24. Dagagad
    I don’t get how we watch his stuff in inning 9 and think that will play with a guy on 2nd but hopefully it works out.
  25. Dagagad
    Whatever happens here, I’d prefer not romano coming back out.
