Wow Avila got a great haul for Verlander. They had to pay a lot of his salary but they also got out of Upton's deal earlier in the deal so they had a really solid day for their rebuild yesterday.

Talk is Jeter is looking to bring back Tino Martinez in some form. Guess he needs someone to go berate or even beat the players
Frisaro says Peters/Anderson and Guerra are coming up

Agreed Stanton is trying to kill it, but he did make contact.....it was a productive out normally, he didn't strike out. Not saying a hit wouldn't have been better (obviously) but still....

Yeah I have no problem with Stanton's approach there. Especially with the way he's been swinging it. He just barely missed a walk-off, and any other baserunner moves up to 3rd. I mean unless you've got a Vlad Guerrero-type arm your play is to throw to 2nd there, which is exactly what their CF did.Last edited by Nick; 09-01-2017, 04:19 PM.

Past few games have been like that. Nats left the whole rightside open and Philly always does it. He could bunt and get on base. But ya the Aviles thing was terrible-just saying they had tons of chances before that tho. How about Telis running in the infield grass instead of the dirt? Its not that hard
Ellis is catching Peters with JT at 1st too

Ya 29 games left and 6GB SEASON IS OVER!!!!
I wish Colorado and Arizona played like 7 times and Arizona went like 5-2 then we played the 3 teams in front of us. That would be cool since u could make up 3 games fast in a sweep
O wait we do!!! Season far from over especially with the types of games left for us. Colorado and Arizona playing this weekend in fact. Just can't lose to crap teams like Philly and the Mets.
Colorado gets LA
Milwaukee gets St Louis
Miami gets Atlanta to close the season

Is it possible? Sure. Is it at all likely or even a good chance. not at all. We are not a good team, that is what you seem to be missing. We are a below .500 team with a bad bullpen, average defense, a good lineup, and terrible starting pitching. Sorry to break it to you, but we have a -25 run differential. you can continue to hope and pray, as will i, for a miracle. It's not gonna happen. Waiting this long to bring up Anderson and Peters while we trotted out Moore and Telis for a month at 1b and Nicolino, Worley, and Despaigne for like 12 games since the start of August blew any chance this team played itself into in the last month. This front office told you either that they are incredibly cheap and pathetic, which we know they are, or that they dont believe in this teams ability to make the playoffs anyway, which is incredibly dissappointing. But to act like im stupid for saying the season is over is just plain homerism and ignorance or, like typical tjfla, just trying to make an argument for the sake of making an argument.
And also, you can continue to cite the schedule all you want, but unlike us, the teams in front of us dont need a shit schedule to win games down the stretch. Other teams who are actually playoff caliber dont rely on playing bad teams to sneak into a 2nd wild card birth. We essentially need a miracle. But ya, lets continue to rely on havign 3 games with the rockies towards the end of the year.
Btw, when you gave everyone shit for complaining that anderson and peters werent up, the last week and the better part of the starting pitchers in the 4 and 5 spots for the last month are why people were complaining. and it will end up being why we wont be in the playoff picture for the last few weeks of the year.Last edited by fish16; 09-01-2017, 05:33 PM.
