  1. I'm looking at the walk rate. They aren't getting on base enough and are striking out too. Last 30 days they are last in mlb in walk rate.
  2. I know Boras would never allow him to sign..but maybe you offer him a deal that pays him even if there is a lockout?
  3. They need a functional Parker Meadows back..even just for the defense.
  4. Guessing they need 88 wins to take the division. As I see it, they're a little better than last year but not much. And they aren't a 'win the division by 10 games' kind of team. Most of MLB is just a decent teams and they are in that mix. The core offensive players have to produce, the starting pitching has be good,and they can't lose on defense and stupidity.
  5. Well you can't fix the entire pitching staff being bad...so Harris was probably right lol.
  6. garbage baseball all around in the run prevention department.
  7. This team cannot lose the game on the margins...even against a bum outfit like the Twins.
  8. This is probably anecdotal but we just don't score early in games.
  9. 1-2-3 inning for Melton..the slow march to high leverage.
  10. This is the quantity over quality part...they have to weed through a bunch of guys now.
  11. Montero is living up to his previous performance.
  12. I have no issue with them sitting Greene tonight.
  13. The playoff picture as of today.
  14. Paddack and Morton were acquired as hedges in case Mize can't turn it around. Jack has stabilized and Skubal is great. Guessing your will see Rafa Montero and Melton in leverage this week to see how it goes.
  15. Riley Greene has no median results. He is either on fire or can't make contact...great game defensively.
  16. That is an arsenal.
  17. Holton and Vest were the two biggest culprits in the 7th. They are going to be used in leverage in the playoffs. But you needed more.
  18. The offense did the best it could against a great staff...bullpen was given leads in the 7th and 8th and failed...not much to say.
  19. The ball is in play..no swing and miss...I've heard that before.
  20. Starting today, the goal is to get a bye in the wild card round, and make sure that Skubal is rested and healthy for game 1 of the playoffs.
  21. I suspect the bullpen guys they brought in are to replace guys like Kahnle, who has been awful for a few months. They may not have upside but can't be worse than him.
  22. DBacks and Orioles are examples of well intentioned front offices who had this same objective and crap happened.
  23. Yes this is true. At some point, they need to be ruthless and trade one of their core guys to make room for the prospects. Or they need to sign them. If the goal is to be as flexible as possible, you have to make tough choices. I'm not talking about Skubal..his situation is separate.
