Still one of the dumbest and weird nuances of baseball that a reliever who sucked during the game, just because of a miraculous comeback hitting form the team, gets a win. Bummer still is a POS pitcher and needs to be gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a huge win......survive the next two weeks and hopefully Crochet and Hendricks and be back. Romy and Sosa go down for Anderson and Hanser.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I'm happy to have been 100% wrong on Abreu (not re-signing him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 40 minutes ago, The Kids Can Play said: That was a great comeback and great clutch hitting at the end, especially from Vaughn. I'm happy they could feel a comeback and actually celebrate a win. However before everyone goes crazy about Haseley as I've read with several comments. Some of you seem to forget that Adam Haseley was up last year and he was bad. He had 5 hits in 21 AB's in 14 games in 2022. Don't forget also, he was the player who collided with Danny Mendick because of his stupidity of not calling for correctly or loud enough the flyball that cost Mendick a season ending torn ACL. One game doesn't change anything. Are we always going to score like this going forward? If this is that miraculous turn around then great. I need to see it consistently first. This bullpen still sucks and the worst in baseball and they are never going to score enough to make up for it. This is baseball and every bad team now and then can win a game and beat a better team. Let's pump the brakes for a moment, before we plan the parade with Rick Hahn. Does it make sense for Robert to ride the bench for another game or two so Haseley can play, or no?

April Abreu is a very real thing that we've lived with. He won an MVP because April didn't exist that year. So may be a little early on that. Sub .700 OPS the last two aprils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Cousin Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Just heard about the miracle on 35th Street. Glad it was Vaughn. Still boycotting., one miracle win is not changing my mind. They still all need to go. Still will not watch or attend a game. JR has to sell or at a minimum clean out the front office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was insanity to not try to sign a star player if there were any in free agency or make a trade to get some 'name' player. I feel it's dumb to drop a vet like Abreu and just count on Vaughn. Although Vaughn and Burger each might hit 25 plus homers this year if they get the at bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those shortstops were in the $150-200 million range and up. If we weren't willing to do it for Tim Anderson, they're certainly not paying that money to someone coming over from another organization. Aaron Judge was never realistic, either, just like Ohtani this upcoming offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on the health of Robert. If he is still hurting from his hammy, then of course play him for Robert. Also maybe some games for Colas. Both Colas and Robert are both struggling, so if we can get a spark from Haseley, then I would play him for awhile. I am just saying that every player can have big day now and then. I'm just not setting my expectations very high for Haseley until he can prove he can hit consistently at the ML level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Career fWAR of 0.6 in 137 games, 705 ops and 88 for wRC+. Not quite a center fielder and not enough power for an outfield corner spot. Certainly adequate as a 4th/5th guy.
