  1. Jesus Engel... Ya got on by the grace of god. Don't get picked off, ya dip sh*t
  2. Yeah, I don't think running the ball out is stupid. And I think a few things if you can't run to first without getting injured. - You were probably about to get hurt anyway - You shouldn't be in baseball, unless you're a DH in his late 30's and a borderline future HOF'er (AKA Ortiz)
  3. Can we just get one of Timmy/Engel on base? Asking too much, isn't it? Soria looked good, BTW
  4. Yeah, Melky wants to win another World Series before he hangs em up. Not come here and play hee-haw with the f**k around gang.
  5. Well, the trade deadline is a ways down the road. He could easily rack up a good chunk of innings by then. If he keeps this up (or close to it... more realistically) clubs will call.
  6. Baltimore and Detroit upcoming. Abreu has hit one of those grooves, Jones/Fry have given the bullpen a boost recently, Moncada has cut down on K's a bit since coming off of the DL, Gio/Lopez strung together back-to-back nice outings, Rodon could be back soon, Shields hasn't been a TOTAL gas can, most everyone had much better AB's in this series it seemed and played better defensively... this could be a necessary confidence boost. Shall I search for more? I don't know. Look, we're bad... but things had to get better. I don't think we're a 120 loss team. lol. I'm not saying we're going to reel off a big streak of wins. However, getting back to around 10 games below .500 by roughly the All-Star break wouldn't shock me. Then we could also see Eloy and Kopech join the show. I think we've made it through the worst of the 2018 season. Maybe I'm wrong, but the last two days have let me exhale a bit. Boy, it feels good. I knew we're in an in between/developmental year - I didn't expect what we saw up until this weekend, though. Just trying to infuse some optimism. Don't go too hard on me.
  7. That was a fantastic display. Much needed after his last outing. Abreu will likely be our All-Star, but if we were a better team. Lopez would stand a decent chance if he keeps this up. Maybe he really zones in and makes it anyway? Doubtful, but a couple more outings like that...
  8. Holland has been a trainwreck for SF. He has a 5.00 ERA in a pitch-friendly park and his peripherals suggest things will only get worse. I'd be surprised if he finishes the year as a major league pitcher. I'm surprised someone gave him a chance this year.
  9. Just getting home from a thing... Has this game been as messy as the box score indicates? Looks like a little league game. I mean, I figured with Matt Moore squaring off against Carson Fulmer. lol... but still.
  10. Those glasses Engel has on make me hate him as a person, not just as a ball player. lol
  11. I don't really care about wins/losses at this point, overall. However, winning this game and avoiding humiliation in this series would be quite nice.
  12. No. He basically threw fastball/curve ball coming out and then we changed everything.
  13. IMO - Fulmer needs to be demoted, not because of any reason pertaining to the team right now. A White Sox starter getting tuned up in 2018 is neither here nor there. However, he HAS to be mentally shot at this point. There's no way he isn't. This is counterproductive. He's not going to figure anything out at this level. This becomes more damaging with every outing. Let him work on his command in Charlotte, get batters out in the process, get him back on-track mentally and bring him back on-board later in the season.
  14. Except he's been anything but a gas can. Right now, he'd be our All-Star.
  15. Fulmer currently belongs nowhere in the vicinity of a Major League baseball mound.
  16. Palka did some damage in AAA the past few years. Definitely has some power. Interested in seeing if he can carve out a legit role.
  17. Been watching the draft and celebrating the Bears getting who I wanted in Smith. I see Moncada is staying hot, though and Gio is at least having an okay outing. Nice.
  18. Looked like it probably was. However, I knew we wouldn't get it. One of those where you just can't see 100% for certain. Which is where they let the call stand.
