Imagine where this team would be with Sauce Gardner, literally anyone else in round 1 besides Green (Jordan Davis, Kyle Hamilton, Jahan...
Exactly! There are all these silly excuses letting Caserio off the hook, and I'm not really sure why we keep indulging them. I can certainly...
Yes! Especially Stingley-over-Gardner, which just reeked of smartest-guy-in-the-room arrogance. It's the same thing that fueled the Anderson...
He's sat on his hands for three consecutive free agency periods, choosing to sign one-year journeymen and never-weres instead of using cap space...
The problem the Texans have is that they are SO bereft of virtually any talent, that taking a QB *right now* isn't really a sound plan because...
Yeah; it is going to bite them for years. The early return on both guys is positive - esp. CJ - so that tempers the deal a bit. But trading one...
And I think their head coach might very well be a moron, as well. Outside of Chubb doing awesome Chubb things, that offense has been awful under...
And that's not really the equation... Would you rather: CJ/WA or CJ + 1.12 + 1.33 + 1.1'24? It is looking like the 1R rookie WRs in '23 are...
Do you even understand what this statement means?......
Why do you keep coming up with these weird misappropriations? A pitcher "literally writes in the name of the catcher on the lineup card" - who...
You've almost got it! Yes, Maldonado hasn't changed - he's the same awful offensive catcher he's always been: so why do you think he's the reason...
Who said anything about the "line-up"? Pitchers of certain ilk absolutely dictate their **catcher** (if they so choose). I promise you, this is a...
I've literally not. The problem is that it's impossible to quantify. Baseball does not boil down to one thing; or even two things. Losses are a...
Managers do not move the needle as much as you think; I therefore don't scream like a toddler about it.
You can scream all you want about this: every pitcher with any skins on the wall has the ability to dictate their catcher. Some don't care. Some...
They won 106 games last year and went 11-2 in the postseason with Maldonado and Gurriel getting the bulk of the playing time. I can't fathom how...
Letting your best/veteran pitchers choose their battery mate - which is a remarkably common occurrence at every level of baseball (my 13-yo is...
Because the primary job of a baseball manager is to manage the players. It is a long season of (mostly) failure - figuring out a way to navigate...
Why do you think I have this level of insight?... I don't know why Maldy catches Javier - my guess is that he, also, wants Maldonado behind the...
Fair enough. It just feels like we've moved past this. On any given night, they're going to be able to set a line-up that is 7-deep - so if he...
