Greg Maddux ain't walkin' through that door. John Smoltz ain't walkin' through that door. The right move was pinch hitting for Morton and then NOT pitching Minter with the entire bullpen available. But Brian Snitker has no understanding of leverage, so...

Sure. I mean, don't just give him away, but if the right deal came along...

Yeah, feels way too early to give up on Pache.

I can't decide how concerned to be about Riley...

This is going well....

Almonte feels like he's on the second or third page of worries for this team...

I'm not sure I agree, but I at least accept that rationale. I don't think I can ever fault a kid for trying to make something happen in the heat of the moment when he's one of the fastest baserunners in the league. The HR pimping thing didn't bother me as much as it did most people I guess. I...

I don't believe they'll fire him. I DO believe they'd "promote" him to an advisory role and give him a big ceremonial farewell from the dugout.

Need some patty with that melt. This isn't 1955. Guys aren't gonna grit their teeth and sprint the bases with their heads down after a HR anymore. The way Ronald Acuna wants to play is "the right way," and I hope he never stops being him just to appease the Grandpa Simpsons of the world...

Who decides what the right way to play is? Is it a bunch of grumpy old boomers who are upset that they grow more obsolete by the day? If it is, then I'm completely ok with Acuna doing everything the opposite of how they want it done. At this point, if there are things he does that you don't...

I don't worry about accommodating Dansby until I have Riley, Fried and Freeman on paper.

This is a joke, right? Every country club I've ever been a member of has had at least one tennis instructor get fired for..um... "private lessons" with female members. Lot of misplaced rage here.

This seems like one of those things where charges go away tomorrow when cooler heads prevail. Happens all the time with celebrities. Someone who knows more than me tell me why I shouldn't be worried about Freeman...

There are seriously people that think this? I thought folks were just being ironic or something...

The thing about aces is that there’s only four in a deck. I think Soroka has that potential. Time will tell if he gets there.

TF would we do that? We can't afford to have him miss a start right now.

I haven’t logged in in months. Just lurked. I got on because I had to point out how asinine this is. Bumgarner isn’t close to the HOF.

The problem with Teheran is that no one's going to give us anywhere close to what he's worth. He's on such a team-friendly deal that his production, iirc, isn't far out of line with what the value would be. I'd ask him to get his arm checked out by a specialist, as his velo loss is alarming.

Why in the world would we trade pitching off this team?

That was the AB of the month by Freeman. An 11 pitch walk. Appears to have woken some folks up.
