I agree with more relievers. With the way the game is going and the shortened spring training. A deep bullpen is a key especially early in the season.

If you read you will see I did criticize some of FO moves. I just don't agree with you that everything they do is awful and they can't get anything right.

I rest my case.

Obviously, you ignore injury history.

Exaggerate much? I didn't see anyone say you can't criticize. More like you're insisting all of his moves are wrong and he can't to anything right is absolutely wrong.

That's how the season will start. Decreased innings for starters.

I thought it was something like that.

Wasn't that a movie? Michelle and Romy Return to high school? Something like that.

Agreed.

750 OPS is a useful player.

A huge Mahle guy sounds like a genetic disorder.

I know nothing about him. Does he bring defense?

If you listen to the people with supposed sources, they all soured on Madrigal. Personally, I thought he was a useful player.

They are only accountable to shareholders.

That's the Jack we all know.

Have we decided to blame these signings on LaRussa or KW?

You can never have enough pitching. Not much ready for depth in the minors.

Got it. I thought he meant they don't need to sign relievers because you can get away with fewer like 2005.

It's a different game now. You will never see starters throw those kind of innings again.

So far 2.

A good bullpen is going to be key especially early in the year when starters are go8ng to be limited with the shortened spring training. I don't mind the signing. It allows Lopez to be the swing man and make spot starts for Kopech.

I think it's more his lack if follow through that was the primary issue. Hopefully, their right for his sake that it's more the cross fire issue.

No. They can use Kopech with Lopez and Crochet to fill in his other starts. I wouldn't want another pitcher that you needed to use more starts from others.

I did not see significant changes in his mechanics that caused most of his issues.

Personally, it's not about the money. They already have Kopech in the rotation who won't pitch a full season. Dedicating another rotation spot for a pitcher who likely won't pitch a full season just makes a mess of the rotation and trying to figure out who can pitch.
