Dude bunting is so stupid

They need to take the best talent available regardless if its a bat or an arm. If it happens to be bats, great. I would hope they wouldn't pass on a highly ranked arm to take a bat that they have ranked lower on their board.

To state the obvious, not very impressed so far with anything they have evaluated.

No, King of the Universe. Actually I would just settle for a couple games scoring over 2 runs to be honest..

Meh, he lost 100 games last year with a completely different roster. Pedro should not be an MLB manager. Its not like hes constantly making the right calls but players just fail. Hes constantly making head scratching decisions. Every time I see the lineup come out and we got Vaughn and Benintendi in the 2-5 holes, its like wtf are you doing man.

How did you come to this conclusion? He avg 14.5 pitches per inning and only walked 2.

2-11 since this post was made. Good call.

That is one awful lineup.

Seems pretty obvious to me they signed Clevinger to try and salvage an atrocious start. He was available to all other teams for little commitment and no one wanted him.

I see we are going into yet another game with Andrew Vaughn batting 4th and Benintendi batting 5th.

Maybe, but I’m pretty sure if this team won 81 games last year instead of 61 the same guys would still be here in charge.

My preference is they lose every game. Even if there’s only a small chance total embarrassment forces changes, I’ll take it. There’s way too many lousy and unlikeable players on this team, maybe things will change at the end of July.

Obviously I meant the players with value.

Lmao these guys.

These guys are such trash, they better be trading everyone.

This is not what it said. They didn’t say it “shouldn’t” have been called they just said the umpires do have discretion. The umpire said after the game the rule is its interference whether intentional or not, and the rule does support that. MLB just said they can make a judgement call not that it was a blown call.

I cant speak for the high school and beyond level, but there is absolutely pitch count rules in little league that we are required to follow.

Well considering the manager just recently came out and called him a pillar of this team, I would imagine not anytime soon.

Yeah, his BB% and K% are both looking nice.

Yeah but what does Sports Guy have to say about it, that’s the only Os opinion I care about

I think everyone but Maldonado is out OPSing the pillar

I’m glad that happened, was worried they were going to come back and win but like clockwork the Vaughn/Benintendi combo ended all hope

The longer this goes on the more I believe this was the plan all along and they don’t care what happens this season.

I can live with that. Vaughn has put up 0.1 bWAR in almost 3.5 seasons, hes pretty much as valuable as Courtney Hawkins anyways.

Yeah and im not trying to say that guys like Vaughn and Madrigal had no business being picked where they were, its no secret our player development hasnt been that great. If im running a draft, im not interested in Andrew Vaughn or Nick Madrigal. I don't want to draft a 1B or 2B, ill spend money in free agency on that. I go balls to the wall on premium positions. SS, CF, SP. Every draft, every time.
