My pick for their 1st win is still alive. Chicago...Turkey Day. Book it.

8-8-1??

No reason to sign a kicker. Waste of money. Just call in someone from the street. A beer vendor or something.

Oh no. Take the wind!!

8-8-1?

The Lions could still finish at 9-8. They won't but on paper they could. May as well start now.

The passes are there. If we had a QB we could win this game. Pittsburgh is struggling on offense.

11 1st half passing yards. Eleven. Wow.

Andre Ware, Joey Blue Skies.

And now for....." Remember This?" When Leyland was still manager, there was a guy in the stands who looked exactly like him. They showed him on TV and it was funny. Carry on.....

I wonder what we could get for Skubal? LH pitchers are valuable. Maybe a SS? He gives up too many home runs. But maybe a team thinks they could fix that?

I'm still an agitator.

One of the outfield statues would be too. 😆

Touche.

Every hall of fame player was a rookie at one time or another.

Apparently, it's a done deal. Too bad it's not real;

Oh, and on the upside, his name is easier to spell than Kreidler's. 😅😅

Well, he won with the Cubs. So yeah, I guess it's just me who doesn't like the bat flips and other flamboyant antics.

Good article this morning in the Free Press about Kreidler. They claim his defense is major league ready. His K rate is way too high but there may be hope for that. Many minor league pitchers don't throw strikes so a free swinger may go after bad pitches. And he's a young player, still learning. It's not like Baez who already has a MLB track record WRT strikeouts. We desperately need a defensive SS who can produce on offense too. But I'm not sure giving 1/4 billion $$ to one player would be a good idea. It really wouldn't surprise me If Avila pulled off a trade for a decent SS. Or if he went with Kreidler. It's a decision I'm glad I don't have to make!

I don't want him. I think his personality would be a negative distraction. Clubhouse chemistry is under-rated. And I'm not sure if even Hinch could control his child-like behavior.

I'll just throw this in here....

I'm not sure they want to invest that much into a SP until the SS situation is resolved. Maybe Al will pull off a trade to get us a SS?

He was offered a 3 year contract between 35 and 40 million dollars. How much would you offer him? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/11/rockies-extension-offer-to-jon-gray-was-in-35-40mm-range.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MlbTradeRumors+(MLB+Trade+Rumors)

I couldn't agree more. A total hotdog.

Yeah, like my son said a few years ago after a 7 game losing streak and I complained about their inept play...just release the whole team. Over-reaction much? All I'm trying to say is we probably have ONE shot to sign a quality SS to a long term contract. The team can't afford to miss on this signing. And yes, I could see them passing on any player who wants 6 to 8 years at $30 million per.
