@bigasswillie @WesHolmes16 @iowahawkblog Very true. Those who accuse people who like things they don’t of being gay are just projecting.

@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)

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@finkn23 Ha, i think starter is most important!

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@_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!

@Shametfor3 🤨

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@CleGuardians wish they let him finish it, he deserved that at the pitch count.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.

@VinnysCorner1 Jack Brohamer

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@GageEHC And FG predicts that they will go 48-49 against said easiest schedule. 🙄

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@rock_climber02 Oh, i think they would have won one by now if there was a cap. Same for Milwaukee and Cleveland.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@HJablowmi1234 @whaler2326 I guess it is depressing that my team hasn’t won since 1948 and won’t win in my lifetime, what can i say.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@JakerBrahney if they start him, he stinks . . . if they have opener for him, the opener stinks 😂

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.

[Bill Hartranft @BHartranft]

@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.
