Yeah, I think his inability to locate the fastball is the biggest issue, followed by declining velocity.

Or if he can't control it at all period, like today.

Yeah, I'd say he was out, but I don't think that was conclusive at all.

:happy0157: Clearly we will win 4 out of every 5 games the rest of the way against teams with winning records, because of those awesome results this month. We've owned the Nats this year so far, which is great, but they are really the only good team we've played in the first half outside of the...

He's just an ultra realist and stats guy. We've played the easiest schedule in baseball so far, and have most of our harder opponents in the second half, and he is being realistic about that. It's really nice to see us playing well (particularly offensively, as that makes it fun since you are...

3 out his last 4 outings the Dickey has been very strong, hopefully he can keep it up going forward.

Well, yeah.

When did I say you should throw it out? I'm just saying it's an outlier season in terms of a guy who has limited data against left handers, and that makes it impossible to get anything close to reliable predictive data. I mean, you are in here trying say his current splits are who he will be...

For his career at the moment he has a slash line of .281/.320/.340 against lefties, and that's weighed down by one season where he was terrible and is not in line with his other 3 seasons at all. I think it's vastly premature to say his overall splits are a reliable predictor when one single...

Yeah, blowing out our relievers arms long term because our manager can't manage a bullpen will be great for us. Snitker was a horrible hire. Meanwhile Colorado is doing fantastic with Black.

And we could have gotten another 1.5 mil player or three 500k ones on top of those two, just because we got two good players doesn't mean it's not tremendously better to get 4-5, that's just freaking common sense. Is that one win in 2016 better than another top 100 prospect?

So was the 138 ABs against lefties last year when he hit .319 with a .749 OPS SSS as well? The problem here, which was mentioned last year when you and others accused him of being a platoon player, is that you are ignoring his minor league numbers and numbers from 2016 and 2017 in favor of SSS...

Yep, if we could get him for a Cervelli type deal or a little less I'd probably go for it. His framing skills will be invaluable with all our young pitchers coming up the next couple years. He's done a fantastic job with Newcomb.

You brought up Tate and Jay, him responding to that is not a straw man. Tate was rated above Benintendi and Tucker, but Jay was not. That draft, much like most however was really divided into tiers. You had a definite top 3 with Swanson, Bregman, and Rodgers, then the next group of Tate, Fulmer...

Just in time to play 10 of our last 15 games on the road going into the all star break. And yeah, our schedule has been a joke so far. The good news is that our division is so bad that a good portion of our schedule will remain easy, bad news is that the rest off it is going to be filled with...

You're as bad as thethe making random straw men and having arguments against things absolutely nobody has said ever. If we had drafted either of those two over Benintendi, Tucker, Happ, or Stephenson (dodged a bullet there) people would have been livid, because 90% of the board wanted a bat...

If we still had Simmons we wouldn't have to even consider it, we'd have Swanson at 3B, Simba at SS, and Albies at 2B through 2020.

Yep, even in his "wild" game with 4 walks he was around the plate the entire game and dealing with a tight strikezone. WTF Snitker, why the hell would you take him out here?

How did he manage that? Weird blowing out his elbow in his non throwing arm.

I seriously doubt they'd do it for one single piece, but I could see us getting Dustin Fowler from the Yankees for a package of Adams and Garcia/Johnson. But I'd agree with your assertion that the Yankees are the only realistic major trade partners for us, outside of maybe the Astros. I think...
