  1. Honestly, it’s got to be Moncada or Pollock leading off. Those other are not options.
  2. That’s the exact opposite to how TLR managers
  3. If we’re 10 GB you sell Giolito and probably some other pieces.
  4. I was a fan of the McGuire trade, but it’s very clear the dude can’t hit major league pitching unfortunately
  5. We had a good thing going with former has been’s, should never risked Tim’s well being by putting him on the banner
  6. Posters like me? Pretty sure I haven’t overreacted to horrible starts from Grandal & Moncada, but thanks for the cheap shot.
  7. I maintain that KW is the lesser of two evils in a win now situation. Ultimately both guys should go, but give me Kenny for a year and hope that a thorough search results in a quality hire who can truly transform the organization. I would hate to rush such an important decision as the repercussions can last a decade.
  8. Hopefully him and Tony get into and Stroman Pedro’s his ass.
  9. My wife booked the tickets, but apparently they’re super expensive. I would have loved sitting in the 100 level, but it was way too much money (her words) so we sat in the level above. The views were still really good there so probably the best overall value. Take the subway to the get the stadium. You get dropped off right there. Cell service sucks around the stadium if you have Verizon so make sure to have a copy of your tickets saved to your phone. I found the food options to be terrible in the stadium and the beer is way overpriced (even for Rate standards), so load up as needed beforehand.
  10. Sorry you have watch this mess in person…can’t be worse than taking your son to Yankee Stadium and getting stuck with the Keuchel start due to a rainout. At least Cease should keep this interesting for you. Do your best to get us a win!
  11. Here’s the thing. We have a rotation of Giolito, Kopech, Cease, & Lynn for another two years. Either you sell off Giolito at the deadline or you go for broke these next two years. Kenny is a flawed baseball executive, but he’s a significantly better scout than Hahn will ever be. And he’s willing to take risk and make a big trade, which will he needed to fix the major flaws with this lineup. Meanwhile, I’d begin an exhaustive search for our next President of Baseball Operations and rebuild this organization from the ground-up. Kenny would just be the placeholder while that search takes place.
  12. Here is our lineup by OPS: .895 .816 .714 .732 .508 .600 .650 .482 .519 That’s got to be worse than our rebuilding years lineups.
  13. Real question, but is this our worst lineup of the season? I mean, Jake Burger is batting 3rd, we’re playing both Sheets & Vaughn in the OF corners, and we wrap it up with McGuire & Big Energy in the 8th & 9th spots. Good god Tony is a mad man.
  14. I agree the first four items are probably the only ones that might actually happen. As for Hahn being fired, that probably wouldn’t happen until the offseason and would almost certainly would need to be necessitated by Jerry.
  15. We don’t have a choice at the moment. Long term he can replace Jose at 1B, but until then we need his bat in the lineup.
  16. I almost included Carlos Perez as one of the ten steps, but you got to give Grandal more rope since his contract runs through next year and Eloy is at DH in this hypothetical. As for Pollock, there is zero chance everyone remains healthy the rest of the way so he’d remain a defacto starter.
  17. Let me be clear, in this hypothetical scenario, KW would be gone after the 2023 season as well. Ultimately I think you take your shot now and in 2023 with KW at helm and then start afresh with a brand new front office. Jerry isn’t going to fire both KW & Hahn at the same time and it would likely take him some time to hire a new President of Baseball Ops. KW is simply the lesser of two evils if I have to pick a transitional GM for two “all in” seasons.
