Ned is such a good manager.

watching Butera catch every game for a while is really gonna suck.
2 wild pitches allowed and he didn't play that swinging bunt very well. If you aren't gonna make a throw to 1st, which is fine, don't pick the damn ball up when it's gotta a chance to maybe kick foul.

Ned is such a good manager.

What does he have to do with player performance? He put together the best lineup he could, and when he finally pulled his starter, Minor gave up a jack.

Thanks a lot Holland.
Blown save. 2 walks. RBI single with 2 out. Walk off 3 run HR

feels unlikely this team will do anything more than maybe lose the wildcard game on the road. they're just not that good

They really aren't that good.

Gordo's contract, a shitty bullpen, average starting pitching, etc.

I'm ok with them going for it, the core of Cain/Hosmer/Salvy/Moose/Duffy/Escobar/Gordon/Whit/Herrera/Vargas etc deserved one last shot. I mean we're still in the playoff hunt, division is not completely out of reach. Just seems like such a flawed team to me, and the other AL playoff teams seem much more well rounded

I'm happy we're chasing the playoffs and I know anything can happen, but I feel like this years Dodgers team is the Patriots on steroids.

Nationals are good enough to beat them in a 7 game series. Dodgers would be the favorite of course but its not a done deal

Mellinger's article on Gordon is major bummer

mocat · « **Reply #71768 on:** August 09, 2017, 12:56:45 PM »

156. Jose Peraza CIN .618
157. Jonathan Villar MIL .605
158. Dansby Swanson ATL .599
159. Alex Gordon KC .582
160. Alcides Escobar KC .543

Haven't been on here much guys but since the last 10 games or so aint going so well, is it too late to sell? I have a bad feeling we are gonna fall apart now and will lose out on players.

It would be nice if we could pick up a halfway decent SS this offseason, or at least get a good prospect.

Escobar's season high OPS came on July 21st, when he got it all the way up to .583
