Would've been nice had Starlin gotten hot like this BEFORE the trade deadline.

No kidding.

Urena doing his part to make sure we get the best draft pick we can......how many 9th inning leads have we lost ? Got to be at least 12 to 15

[Namaste]

I’m I reading the box score correctly that Ureńa didn’t record an out yet gave up 3 runs?

To his credit, he got it over with quick.

[Namaste]

Jesus. 58 wins here we come

This is a few days late at this point, but that Brian Moran first career k against his own brother was an awesome moment. Also, this is a huge series for draft positioning. We are now 3rd and the royals have pulled ahead of us in the standings so that’s good. That’s about the highest draft pick we can realistically get st this point

Through 116 PA’s Isan Diaz has a .489 OPS.

<——————knows 116 PA’s is a very small sample size.

Having said that, if his OPS was .900 after 116 PA’s, fish16 would be telling us how he said many times the Yelich trade wasnt nearly as bad as we all said.

Wow a post of actual substance from namaste. What a day. I never said the yeich trade was good, I said criticizing it before 75% of the return reached the majors is fucking stupid, which it was. It’s perfectly fine to say that trade is awful as of now, even knowing that Diaz will be fine after initial struggles like he has had at every level.

If we’re recycling old conversations, remember when I said we had a surplus of pitching and the rebuild was going very well and you said we didn’t have a surplus of pitching and then less than a year later we have the most top 100 prospects in the mlb pipeline rankings?

[Namaste]

We have 5 guys in the Fangraphs Top 100. Calm down.

Can a team in a rebuild have “too much pitching” though?

I still don’t think we have a surplus of pitching.

And I don’t believe I ever said the rebuild wasn’t going well (other than lolYelich which everyone, even you, agree was bad).

So what’s your point?

I had a point with my Isan Diaz post. Point being, you would be fellating Jeter if Diaz had a hot start.

[fish16]

starting to think alcantara might have a higher ceiling than a 5th starter...

[Todd]

Even with last night's start, his FIP is almost 5, his xFIP is over 5, he has under 7 K/9 and over 4 BB/9. And he still basocally only has one MLB quality pitch in his fastball.
