    M-Live says Eduardo is scheduled to make Sunday's start against Ohtani... That might M-Liven up this place too...? Maybe?
  2. 1984Echoes
    Nope. Absolutely not. I don't know why you guys would think that. Never gonna happen. What Dark Liz could do... is run as an Independent. Blow up the whole election. Might be too late for her though...

    NOPE. YEP. Schoop and Candy are the "stopgaps". Not Andrus. They can be traded next deadline for a "bag of balls", or if they recover some value then, maybe more than just a "bob"... And then Kreidler, Clemens and Wenceel Perez become the stopgaps. Or maybe one of them sticks as a starter if they perform well enough. We'll see. Book it.

    Center Right - Very lonely place right now. Center Left - Quite a bit easier for me to exist here as being a Centrist Democrat (Independent... but almost always caucus with the Center Dem's...) fits me and the current political arena nicely. So long as Dems are elected (progressives or centrists... I don't care) and Republicans are repudiated, at least until MAGA is forced into an alternative party... works for me.

    Good Soto.
  6. 1984Echoes
    But got Kwan out anyways... (or rather, instead...) Win.
  7. 1984Echoes
    I'd be ok with an Intentional on Kwan... i don't want a bat-control guy here, and would rather face Rosario with a play at 2B or 1B or other ways of getting the dude out...

    Or he was slow, and/ or underwhelming, in the implementation...

    Aside from Crouch's nice game... Dylan Smith got the start for WM and 5 inn's, 1 ER on 5 hits and 0 BB's, and 6 K's...
  10. 1984Echoes
    Not much interesting at Erie though: Parker hit another HR. Otherwise, Erie only got a total of 2 hits on the night. Chance Kirby (if anyone follows) with a nice game: 6 shutout inn's and 6 K's.

    Daz popped a HR (1-2) with 2 BB's and no K's Tork a double (1-4) and a BB, no K's, Eduardo with his nice game: 6 inn's 11 K's, 1 run.

    By not being good enough. He did a lot of good things for the Org. But he didn't do good enough. He wasn't fast enough. He wasn't good enough in trading. He wasn't good enough in position prospect drafting (unless it was a top 5 1st round pick... although Parker may yet salvage that...) until he reduced Chadd's role in drafting which was, too little too late. He introduced analytics into the Org, but not enough, and not fast enough. I like the things that Avila DID do for the Org... but it wasn't enough, or fast enough, for anyone else. He was probably in over his head and remains a better #2 in the FO rather than a #1. In other words, not quite good enough.

    About 2 seconds after I called Barnhart "Tucker Mendoza" he went 1 for 3, then 3 for 4, and now 1 for 2 today... I think he's reading my posts in here...

    Maybe not next year. But if they can hit major league pitching in 2023, that might bode well for 2024 and reduce the next offseason shopping list some, or change priorities on the shopping list...
  15. 1984Echoes
    I think so as well... Probably not. The only thing that sits at the back of my mind is that i always want to give enough of a chance to a guy before writing him off. And maybe even one more chance than that. You're probably 100% correct: Clemens is a utility guy... Sometimes though... a guy rises above his expectations and produces more than thought capable. I wouldn't put any money on Clemens doing more than expected... I'd just give him his shot to prove that he can't do more than that...

    Kerry Carpenter does NOT want to go back down to Toledo. If he has anything to say about it... (Like with his bat...)
  17. 1984Echoes
    If this was some kind of kidnapping situation (like with his mother) which, we have no idea whatsoever except our own conjecture... There is no possible way that I would be upset with him. Even with some uncommunicative weeks...

    This is why I think 2023 will be an "evaluation" year by the new GM. I think both Candy and Schoop are on the opening day roster. I think both are also gone at the trade deadline. Time to evaluate Clemens, Kreidler, Wenceel at the MLB level. Time to try Baez out at 2B. Maybe Lipcius squeezes onto the Tigers as well. Time to sort out the pitching... And evaluate a few other guys that may be another 1 or 2 years away next year (Keith, Dingler ... anyone else? Wilmer Flores?) And then wheel and deal and trade and sign FA's and such after an organizational evaluation... But that's just my guess.
  19. 1984Echoes
    Or that Wenceel Perez gets his call up as soon as he's ready...
  20. 1984Echoes
    Was that bathed...? Or breast-fed? Inquiring minds want to know...

    This is still too close to "I will vote for a Republican" for my tastes. The entire Republican Party is Verboten until they completely denounce white trash racism, their anti-abortion/ anti-life stance, denounce the fascist movements they have fomented, all of their many lies, Trump, etc., etc., etc., etc. I could make a very long list. Now it's attempts to overthrow our voters/ voting system to install a Republican Fascist Dictatorship. Which means it will never happen. Like a cold day in hell... So they are completely verboten. I will not consider a Republican who denounces Trump. I will not consider Republican at all. I've voted Republican, but the last time was 18 years ago, and none since. They no longer exist as an American political party to me. They are Fascists and Liars and Hate-Mongers so I refute that party entirely. What a shame. On them.
  22. 1984Echoes
    Ditto! Yes! Romad wrong... G2 right...!
  23. 1984Echoes
    Not if the new GM dumps or trades Willi. Then it increases the chance that Clemens is on the team.
  24. 1984Echoes
    Gross.

    One Can Only Hope...
