QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) So how well does Tyler have to hit before we take him seriously? Years

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) Stupid. Don't call those guys up until after the super2 deadline next year. There is zero reason to waste service time. We have a winner. There really is no point to this right now.

Just wait when he strikes out a ton at the start...the screams will come

I'll volunteer to pitch next

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:36 PM) I just don't see how that statement could be true however you mean it. Well good catch I guess I did say that . With the problems coming in with Belly(plus his spring trainign fiasco) and Boggs just being overall horrible expecting good things was a bit much.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:31 PM) I want to hear a postgame announcement of Belisario DFAd--and if they want to add Beckham to that, even better. That combined my dinner plans would make a pretty awesome evening.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) Be interesting off season to see how they fill out the pitching staff and in particular the pen for 2015 I'm interested to see how far spending is going to boosted.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) I just don't see how you could expect it. Belly has had 1 bad year in 4 years total. Downs had been damn good for years now. Saying you expected those 2 to be DFA bad is a straight up lie. Um I didnt say I expected it. I said its not surprising. I love assumptions.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) Make more excuses for GB Hawk. We're going to have alot of candidates for release this offseason that's for sure.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) Out of the major transactions Hahn made this offseason, the players have either been great (Abreu/Eaton) or absolutely, positively awful (Davidson, Belisario, Downs, Paulino) Plus the fact that 2 of those guys are off the roster already and 1 more after tonight sure wouldnt be surprising just makes you wonder what he was doing.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) Meh, he doesn't have a crystal ball. Can't foresee Jones/Lindstrom getting hurt and Belly/Downs not playing like they have in the past. And on a rebuilding team, depth in the bullpen isn't really put on the front burner. I think they were counting on Belly to not relive his past....same with Boggs. But that went down pretty much as expected. It was also only a matter of time for Scott Downs.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) Well he was kind of counting on Jones and Lindstrom.. And Putnam got hurt who was solid and the guys he signed that are no longer on the roster or are just a burning pile of trash like Belly.

If Hahn deserves one thing its a standing ovation for this pen. Boy did he royally screw it up this year.

Start from scratch in the offseason with this pen

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) The comments on the announcement for LGBT night were really something The comments when we signed Zapata were face palm worthy

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:54 PM) I can't imagine what the meathead, casual fan thinks of the Reed for Davidson trade when all they do is look at Reed's save total and Davidson's .198 average in AAA. Looking at some of the Facebook comments...I have a pretty good idea

Well we need to congratulate Rick Hahn on this wonderful bullpen. Good lord.

Belly really sucks

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 07:09 PM) Sad to see Abreu have no protection in the lineup. Having one of your worst hitters in front of him is so stupid. Maybe Gordon's average will get so bad they'll release him...wishful thinking

I really cant wait until Adam is gone

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) He's had some flukey BABIP stuff going on down there. He had ~1.000 OPS in the last month and good looking BB/K ratios. He's ready. I'm ready to see how he's progressed.

Marcus isnt lighting it up in AAA right now. But really there is no point watching this anymore.

Nice throw Gordon...god you suck

Oh great...here's Kurt

Good effort but not enough
