I really don’t get it - I was expecting big things. He was filthy in the playoffs and with a full offseason to work with our methods…weird it’s gone the other way. 

He got married in November.

Neris isn't the answer

He has 1 ER allowed this season before tonight. Just not his night.

Bad luck on Odorizzi, but the relievers have been dog meat. And several of our better hitters being out to lunch hasn't helped a bit. Just a feeble effort all around to this point. 

Just for the record Kalas is wrong. Neris gave up a run to lose a game against the Blue Jays.

So feeble that they are only tied for first with the second best record in the league.  Buncha scrubs out there.  Burn it down!

Old …

 

So he's dead? 

In that case, I assume they have already amputated his leg.

A month ago this thread was ready to kill odo, now we are lighting candles for his speedy return !

What did he say about Pena?

His right one 

 

 

but seriously, Achilles was my initial reaction

i really hope he is fine just for the shit he would get from the clubhouse for reacting like he was shot. A little harder to make fun of a guy if he has a year + recovery ahead of him

Has their been any update on Jake Meyers?  Heard he may start a rehab assignment in the next week or so.

Rome just tweet that Meyers was DH in a game at extended spring training today. First game action since the injury.

The last I heard (recently) was he's throwing hard to the bases and practicing his check swings. 

Saw an interesting Twitter poll today asking  if you could only give one Bregman-like 5yr/$100M extension, who would give it to, Alvarez or Tucker? They both are the same, club control wise. Tucker has more tools but none are close to Yordan’s hitting prowess. I’ve thought about it a lot and I really can’t decide. 

Alvarez, 100 out of 100 times

Tucker, think he will have a longer career.

Alvarez. Tools are cool. Unless you are talking about gold glove caliber defense at SS, C or CF they all pale in comparison to bat. 

Yeah, that poll is tasty.

i think I lean Tucker just because of the tools/less of a potential liability in the field/ Yordan seems more of a risk to fall victim to the “olds”, but those are all concerns for circa 2029-2031.

If the 5 years in question are ~2024-2028, woof. That’s hard 

 

Both are great talents, but I think I'd take Tucker. Alvarez has one way to beat an opponent. It's a really impressive way, but still just one way. Tucker can beat the other team in several ways, including with his arm and legs.

Who's more likely to sign it?

Based on this, I’d say Alvarez. 

 

Tucker is banking on one good season. Alvarez has a higher ceiling and is much more disciplined at the plate 

Edited by tx 3 putt

I’d say Alvarez. His bat is elite and has been since he entered the league.

Tucker’s bat is very good, his defense is good, his base running is good, etc.

But I’d take the elite hitter over the very good all-around player.
