Might end up with the Yankees

Ibanez is worth keeping unless we get someone who does specifically what he does better.

Max Clark homered for WM Liranzo 1-1 with 4 BBs

Don’t count out Sawyer Gipson-Long

Finally happening. Lets jettison Urshela and McKinstry

He has a better risk of being non tendoned

How come players nowadays hardly have any good nicknames. Where are Champ, Skeeter/Scooter, Stubby, Dizzy, and Chicken?

And Cabrera at his worst was still better than Baez in his current “prime”

The weird thing is that it doesn’t seem like they are pushing themselves harder. Pitchers I can see since it’s all about velocity and spin rate now, but position players get platooned and pinch hit/pinch run for a lot more now than they used to. There aren’t a whole bunch of players playing 155+ games each year any more. On top of that, you don’t have nearly the amount of guys bunting and stealing a lot of bases anymore either. Granted, guys aren’t popping pain pills like they probably did in the 80s and 90s either….

Ugh. I have tickets and wanted to see him play this year.

They’re too weak. hes a sunk cost regardless of if he stays or is cut. However, might as well keep him until the offseason with how injuries have destroyed us.

Its Miller time

The Giants tv announcer is atrocious

The way he was able to wear the armor and lean over the strike zone made it basically impossible to pitch to him without either walking him or throwing it over the middle of the zone. You couldn’t go up and in on him and set up other pitches. That was as big of a factor as any performance enhancers in my opinion. Kinda surprised more guys didn’t follow that trend.

Could be on the pitchers also

I don’t think they regret putting Mize on the 60 because they needed the temporary 40 man spot. it’s just that they haven’t really gotten any innings out of Brieske as a starter to help ease the bullpen

Tork 3-3 with a walk so far tonight

Gotta wonder how long they keep trying this. Mize can’t be activated till the end of the month.

You could tell that doing the games was a big part of what kept him going and fighting though.

Say what you will, I miss Jim Price with DD. Radio broadcasts aren’t the same without Severe Buggywhips, Yellowhammers and players batting thirrrrrrrrd

He wasn’t ready and promoting him was just Avila trying to get the fan base to focus on something else besides how awful of a job he was doing.

So they waited until he actually won a game to fire him? Oof. im sure the next hire will be someone inspired to return them to their roots like AJ Pierzynski, Tim Anderson or Robin Ventura….

Kerry Carpenter in the lineup for Toledo tonight

Kinda surprised that’s never happened before. Especially when the schedule was imbalanced and you had make up games scheduled awkwardly.

Problem is—there’s always a team or two out there that’ll still hand out the ridiculous pitcher contracts and skew the market so that every above average pitcher thinks they’re going to get that type of payday.
