  1. I like Benetti. But whether you like Hawk or Benetti, no one was better than Harry Carey in his prime. Check out this clip from 1974 with Nolan Ryan taking a no-hitter into the bottom of th ninth at White Sox Park: https://youtu.be/pliinyC3h64
  2. The ump better not be calling pitches three inches out of the zone strikes in the top of the ninth just to get the game over with.
  3. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 10, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) Unless you consider essentially benching Avisail Garcia for the rest of the 2016 season "not upsetting chemistry." Gardner would rotate in with Jackson in CF, and with Melky in LF. On days you want to sit Avi against a RHP, Melky can DH with Gardner in LF. Other days you may want to sit Jackson so Gardner plays CF. When Eaton needs a rest Jackson can play RF with Gardner in CF. On days he's not starting he's available as a LHPH, a PR, or a defensive replacement for Melky. There is plenty of playing time for all involved. And if Avi proves to be just on his usual hot streak and goes back to his old ways, you can rotate your three outfiekders and Gardner at DH to keep everyone fresh.
  4. QUOTE (BFirebird @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) How about a SP and then a more of a role player type for the fielder...not someone that will break the bank. Someone to take Sands place but play more often. How much would a Brett Gardner cost us? Or a Parra? Someone like that. I've been thinking the same thing the past few days. Somehow replacing Sands with Gardner on this roster would make this team so much better without upsetting the "chemistry" too much.
