Does Monroe measure what he says more carefully on television because he is afraid of being ridiculed on Twitter?

I don’t think intentionally embarrassing him is going to do any good.

So great. There really is no point on holding back on things at the very end.

Devil’s Advocate might argue it’s not ignorant, but very savvy in understanding who their target audience is and what they want to hear.

That’s especially true of Petry, but Dan Dickerson can also get some usefulness out of Monroe.

Granted this is still below average, if ever so slightly, but I also think this means we’re going in the right direction. They’re hitting better lately, they’re one of the youngest teams in the majors, and once they get actual hitting talent on the team, I’d bet we’ll be a lot more satisfied with the results. I think anyone who thought this team was going to win this division, despite everything we’d read about them going in, was just setting themselves up to be disappointed. Speaking only for myself, I’m not going to rage about how much Javy and Canha and Urshela and Jake suck at the plate at any given time, because they’re not going to be part of this team when we’re actual contenders in a couple of years. The only one I’m really concerned about is Tork, because he’s the only one who’s been penciled in at first for that contender. He’s gotta do the work to get fixed, and I suspect he hasn’t fully take it seriously even as of yet.

They are at 96 wRC+ (17th) in the last 30 days and 97 wRC+ (tied for 16th) in the last 14 days, so they're moving in the right direction.

Progress! 😉

Just remember: they are all in their 20’s, grew up someplace else, and thus have no connection to our history.

Because they want to keep the issue open to both campaign and demagogue on.

This is the original post Eric Trump was retweeting. What a complete middle finger to families of fallen soldiers. How the red hats can’t see it, I’ll never truly understand.

Not only have I met Libertarians, a close relative of mine is one, and I have asked the very same question of him.

Fire Hinch!

I thought maybe they’d regret Eloy, but everyone knew they’d regret Cease. Trades was the one Achilles heel SuperTheo had.

Jesus, what are these people, fifteen? What a clown show.

So this is what it’s like to have a team that can jack bombs. Huh. I could get used to something like that.

Keith bomb #1!

I’ve gone a third of a season or so and I’ve decided that I can’t listen to Jason Benetti with Craig Monroe anymore. It’s just too much chuckleheadedness for me. Benetti feeds Monroe’s muse and allows him to give in to his worst impulses. I don’t mind Monroe with Dan Dickerson because Dan is all business and keeps Monroe reined in. I get that most people love Benetti and Monroe and they might be the permanent team next year, but I’m pretty much out on them.

Looks like he knows how to control the strike zone! 😁

You can love any staff you want. No judgment here! 👍🏽😉🤣

I don't know if Tork is the best guy to articulate the strategy. In any event, maybe they're taking too many pitches that are good to hit because they are not good hitters. It seems to be working at Lakeland. And I agree that eventually they will get the right players in at the big league level to execute the strategy properly. But don't worry, even after they do, it'll be totally OK if you still hate the staff! 🤣

The way Maeda has pitched this year so far, absolutely not.

Hopefully not the end ...

I hope he tears a rotator cuff while pulling up the ladder.

No thanks. My stomach is doing flip flops just reading what you've posted.
