There’s no shame losing to Verlander, but he doesn’t pitch against us every day either

clutch homer by Tork.

I do think managers lose more games than they win.

Who said BA isn't important ?

Tell your Boss we said stick it. Or tell your customers to just buy and skip the trip.

19-19, Gentleman we are now at the cliffs edge. Can we stay upright ? Skuball to the rescue.

The players were listed as examples and yes Chapman on short deal as well.

I am good with Harris and Hinch. No need for DD and Smokes. I like the direction of the team etc but I just wish the urgency was ticked up a bit. By that I mean adding a player or two on short term contracts via free agency. We could have had JD or Turner for one year as an example. They didn't need to play every day and the youngsters could have been brought along with a bit less playing time. They can be traded or just cut when the kids settle in and start hitting. I don't like the blanket statements like "year one is for evaluating what we have" and "this year we will struggle to hit as we provide runway for the newbies ". Both of those can be accomplished while still adding some veteran players to help us win and take some pressure off the youngsters as well. It's ok to platoon your first year in the bigs or play part time. We've had nice start to 2024 but look how much of it is attributed to Mark Cahna and Urshela. We could have had one or two more vets as well and still played Meadows, Keith, Wencel, Tork and Verling etc plenty. Spend a few million each year on one year stop gap players until we don't need to. Make winning today just as important as developing for tomorrow. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

I agree with you but they still need to keep that in mind.

I guess that’s progress.

I would not even think about removing Hinch but the honeymoon is long over. Same for Harris. No it’s not fair but we have endured a decade of evaluation so turn up the heat and press down on the pedal. And with a run one lead in the ninth and bases loaded Foley remains the best for me in the bullpen. Just don’t pitch him to death. Let him close period to stay fresh.

Well I was hoping for a 2-4 road trip and it should have been...could have been...3-3 if not for two walk offs. ouch

The last 10 seasons or maybe just 9

Hinch can kiss my ass glad he spent Foley in the seventh. The chess master in his own mind.

2 free runs today. Maybe 3. Will it bite us ?

We spent Foley for 2 outs in the 7th ?

We spent Foley for 2 outs ? In the 7th ?

Baez is slowly contributing more and more to this team. There’s hope.

Good job Mc stinky

Think right field torque

Come on torque homer time

Yes. Kelly should not be considered equal to Rogers but a backup.

Then, after his best trade, he should’ve got up off the poker table before he lost all his winnings.

No Meadows and no Keith. Eleven runs.

I guess that's why.
