@smojtv2310@CourtofPublic@FranmilsEyebrow would you rather Geoge Valera or Cooper Ingle be the primary DH vs. RHP? I know Cooper couldn’t play corner OF (yet) like George but, damn, if Cooper won’t get chance as DH against RHP what is his chance? (maybe just trade bait)
@_CLEology If you could get the best bat versus the best SP, which would you choose? Yordan or a healthy Skubal or Hunter Brown? Pitching is so key, and going from Bibee in Game 3 and Cantillo/Cecconi in Game 4 to having Bibee in Game 4 feels like a massive upgrade.
@romalley216@finkn23 no baseball team is consistent every game, series, week or month over a 162-game season. you dwell on the disappointments and missed opportunities more than the good stuff. they won series at LAD, NYY and PHI, and swept 3 games vs. Tigers in DET. Buck up, camper!
@powellAtlantic that’s a stupid argument. when 1/2 or 2/3 of teams have no chance to win, people stop watching. Sports are entertainment, not purely a business.
@thecaffeinefein@JakerBrahney If Giants regret signing Bader at 2/$25M, would you trade Kwan for him/Hentges, a known commodity LHP? hasn’t earned contract in first 2 months, but maybe fluky injuries? Was nails for PHI down stretch last year. Maybe contract is too beau coup & still can’t block kids.
@JukeboxCLE@AndrewZelman Maybe they can send him out as an offset if taking back a larger bad contract in return rather than asking for cash considerations.
@prieurdp you only do it when no one is around so it is an easy back in now and it will be an easier out later. you don’t donor when a car is behind you, coming at you, etc.
@finkn23 This is just Passan ragging on the Guards like he typically does. CLE native perhaps trying to show reverse bias, they scorned him somehow, not sure. Objectively, they have roster/draft capital to make move they haven’t made in several years.
@HJablowmi1234@whaler2326 being able to win a bunch of games in the regular season when you play an unbalanced schedule against other small market teams in your division isn’t getting a chance bc you are automatically eliminated in first round of playoffs.
@HJablowmi1234@whaler2326 The ones over $50M aren’t sacrificing but Mahomes at $45M is. That’s a significant part of how they have a dynasty. They not only got Mahomes, but then he was willing to work for a discount to enable more talent under the cap. Brady did the same.
