  1. Fascinating stuff. I'm liking the current trajectory. Biden peaking right before midterms. Evidence of crimes seemingly mounting against Trump and the walls slowly closing in. I hope he goes down in a terrific ball of flames and it is slow and ugly and we hear his screams until his last breath. That would be nice. I really hope the low point for the country was January 6, 2021 and that we are on the rebound.
  2. I think it's like a big cat with no dick.
  3. Maybe Californians too.
  4. GIDP to end an inning has got to be my least favorite play in baseball when it happens to my team.
  5. The lineup decisions are not based on a single goal: to win today's game. There are all kinds of factors. Some days guys need rest. Some guys need ABs, some guys need to be tested, some guys need to be tested against certain teams/pitchers for one reason or another. It could be a personality/fit thing or an acclimation thing. A lot of ins and outs and what have yous. These regular season games with a big division lead are less important, so they have some flexibility to experiment with some things; work on some things. The lineup decision is about more than just that day's game.
  6. Dear brother, you wound me.
  7. Forgive me, then. In light of all of the other idiotic things you've been saying lately it was hard to tell.
  8. Or Javier.
  9. I'm beginning to think you might be a dumbass.
  10. Question out of curiosity - Do y'all think Dusty (with or without the input of the FO) put Yuli at second in the order in front of Alvarez to help boost his BA and save his job?
  11. The fickleness of fans never ceases to amaze me.
  12. Nothing is fucked here, dudes.
  13. Prudent moves, all. Nothing Earth-shattering. My concern is that we basically just replaced Brantley with Mancini. That's fine and needed to be done if they know Brantley ain't coming back or even just as insurance. But we still have a pretty big hole in CF. You can't have All Stars at every position, I guess.
  14. Potato, potahto.
  15. All we need now is a badass centerfielder with a monster bat. Juan Soto is a badass centerfielder with a monster bat. Coincidence? Meyers, Urquidy or Javier and another 10-20 level prospect. Do it.
  16. Plus, it gives more flexibility to play Yuli and hopefully he gets right throughout the rest of the season and the playoffs.
  17. Siri was expendable. Good trade.
  18. Now lets get Vasquez.
  19. I like it. He can play both OF and 1B. Basically, Chas, Jake, Siri, Yuli - death match for playing time/playoff roster. Kick ass or die. Pretty big motivation.
  20. I don't understand how the platoon thing works. You can only play one guy at a time. The trendlines make this trading deadline crazy. I was ready to say Yuli was done, then he goes out and has a really good month. Playing for his life? Regardless, makes it hard to give up a bunch of value to replace a guy who is showing signs of life. Same for CF. Meyers sucking, but Chas making a bid to be the every day guy. Based on today, assuming Brantley is out, I'd get an OF bat, Ian Happ maybe, and a backup catcher - Contreras or Vasquez - so we can pinch hit for Maldy when we really need a run in the playoffs. Just for morale's sake, I hope the FO does something, anything to upgrade the roster at least a little bit.
  21. Fucking Toro.
  22. Is Brantley done for the year?
  23. I wasn't clear that Trump's "plan" required forcing them there. Obviously it would be exactly an internment camp if they were forced and that's bad, m'kay. But a simple designated area with services and facilities for the homeless? I could get behind that.
  24. NSIS. I didn't want to admit it, but I didn't think it was such a bad idea. Giant homeless camp with facilities and services. Controlled environment. Other than forcing homeless people inside the walls possibly against their will, what's so wrong with this concept?
