  1. Agreed - at least Grifol would know your grandmother shouldn't be used in any meaningful situation.
  2. I'm not really counting on Crochet to be effective this year. I hope I'm wrong. Hendriks, on the other hand, I am counting on.
  3. I agree 100%. That said, that matches my thinking with Kelly throughout 2022....
  4. I hope that's a typo. Pretty sure no season will ever have an attendance figure as low as 2020.
  5. Missed his spot by PLENTY on that Joc double.
  6. In unrelated news, Jake Diekman in now....
  7. I guess my point is that there's such a thing as extended spring training to do what you're saying he was doing today (build up to where everyone else was to star the season). There's such a thing as rehab (or, again, extended spring training) to help him get "dialed in." Do I give him a little more slack because of his surgery? Maybe, and maybe I do need to give him more, but today still counts the same in the standings as any of the other 161 games. Why waste it on a guy if your sole objective is to do what you could do in a risk-free Spring Training environment?
  8. Shhhhh. You're ruining the site for us.
  9. (I'm partial to Seibu. Grew up rooting for them as a kid)
  10. Just going to any NPB game is an interesting experience. Completely different environment from US baseball. If you're in Tokyo, Seibu might also be a good one to check out. Sterile stadium (most modern Japanese stadiums are), but if you're just looking to catch a game, it's as good a place as any... and it's tucked away in an amusement park.
  11. While I appreciate the optimism... Kopech's final ST start should have been in ST. Today should probably have been treated as his first regular season start.
  12. The turning point was exactly when I started to type "Kopech looks like he's added more movement to his fastball. Looks awesome." That's when he gave up his first homer to Pederson. I think next time, the key to his success is that I just need to STFU and resist any urge to comment on his positive performance.
  13. Not gonna lie - was thinking Yaz was gonna blow a knee out on that play.
  14. Questions I never would have thought would be asked for $2,000....
  15. looks like Diekman has a clear strategy for avoiding the longball.
  16. Not sure I'm happy that Diekman is warming up. I guess it can't be any worse.
