  1. The subtext here is that Elise is pissed that the hearing wasn't like one of those typical one's where the average American listens to the arguing between politicians and speechifying for Twitter and campaign content and throws their hands up in the air. Kevin M had that choice and chose not to avail himself of it lol
  2. I like that the one swing and miss on a slider that I saw in the game today was on a pitch that was actually in the strike zone as well.
  3. His answers were all correct as far as I was concerned, a lot of these guys have track records and aren't meeting them. Just seemed like the questioning was more pointed.... patience may be wearing thin
  4. This press conference with AJ seems more tense today... press kinda pushing on the lack of offense
  5. Dan and Jim's 8th inning discussion was a great example of the difference in quality... they are speaking frankly and directly about where this team is offensively and how guys underachieving has put them out of the picture. The fact that they are talking baseball alone is a plus, but they also aren't doing the rose colored glasses thing. That's better than watching Kirk and C-Mo eat
  6. You can make the argument, with some of the series they have played lately, they have seen a lot of quality pitching lately. Even Barrios, who has been bad this year, has a good track record. But with Chicago and Texas coming to town, if they can't do damage against that level of pitching... (and I have little confidence they will)
  7. Gotta think he gets the boot when Alexander gets the call.
  8. It appears to me that his approach is different. Almost like he's picking a quadrant of the plate and not swinging if a pitch is outside or something
  9. Baez wasn't rewarded there, but it's a lot easier to get hittable pitches when you aren't constantly chasing bad pitches out of the zone
  10. Tarik was due for a bad day, but it's the fact that there's little reason for hope that the offense can claw back much of any of the deficit that bothers me
  11. Bad defense strikes lol
  12. Yeah, that's the thing that is giving me pause... the Tigers approach was good yesterday, but Gausman's splitter wasn't very sharp as well. Having said that, Javy will swing at literally everything if left to his own devices. So it's progress.
  13. Prediction: Reyes won't be traded and will be played closely according to the level of play he exhibits
  14. I dont think Jose Cisnero is the guy holding this roster back from competitiveness
  15. What is it with these guys and tuna? FFS
  16. There will be some regression, but I do think with Lange and Vest in particular, they really have found something.
  17. Time to trade Big Joe lol
  18. Part of me wants to rewatch his ABs today and see if he was doing anything differently or if Gausman, etc. were just too far out of the strikezone to be tempting
  19. This was a very good win today... executed a fairly good game plan against Gausman, even if they didn't score a bunch. And Brieske pitched well enough even with the hard contact.
  20. Three times in fact
  21. Come on, really?
  22. Replacement level makes him one of their better hitters lol
  23. Really have to get Haase across here
  24. He absolutely smoked that ball
