@gopqed@jfcatcher23@jcalvinmeyer Because with him and Blaze both down our bench is Huff and Chadwick Tromp. If he can’t play we need to get someone up here who can.
@MVPHays@jfcatcher23@OriolesStatist1 Yeah Meyer has been playable for about three months of his career. Detmers also popping big time this year.
Kjerstad has just had tragic health and been maybe the worst defensive outfielder on earth. Let’s hope there’s another chapter here.
@MVPHays@jfcatcher23@OriolesStatist1 I’d give him a pass on 2020 too - lost almost that whole college season leading into it and other than Crochet (very much a lotto ticket) and PCA, guys like Walker and Hancock have only just been decent this year.
@jfcatcher23@OriolesStatist1 Which one of these players should he have taken instead? Or is he penalized for not having ESP about Misiorowski and Roman Anthony? Also - he got Dylan Beavers in the supplemental round in this same draft.
@BrettHollander - Speaking of those ‘92-93 O’s teams, can you imagine them with Finley, Schilling and Harnisch? We probably make a run at the ALCS one of those years, right?
@NCapecciBlt@mattgonter Between this and the IG battle - which may be necessary but looks atrocious - kind of feels like we’re in Scott’s “heat check” era where he has no viable foil (Bates is looking at Annapolis not City Hall) and is just riffing. Dude gets no pushback on anything.
@SharkConnor and practical ownership of the entire Japanese market - is just nonsense, and I think it’s very easy to envision a world where what is good for the richest 1% of baseball players in bad for the sport in general, even if the other side (owners) are even worse ethically.
@SharkConnor So while I normally root for “labor” in all situations, it is possible for them to be wrong. For them to insinuate via their proposal that it’s simply a matter “want to” for small market teams to outbid the Dodgers - a team with literally zero financial constraints
@SharkConnor There are owners that are not trying, but the massive power imbalance in LA’s favor is very real and has to be addressed (either now or 2033).
@SharkConnor The question - as my boys will find out with Gunnar - is if there’s any way to outbid LA? What stops them from adding $1m more to any deal Detroit would agree to? And would winning rhat bidding war preclude Detroit from adding a competent roster around him?
@gatorneiljr@generallysucks@JoePostingg What were some pre-stroke Fetterman red flags? What evidence was there that he’d be the kind of guy to pay his respects to Mar-a-Lago after Trump was re-elected?
@generallysucks@JoePostingg People rhat say this discount Fetterman’s literal brain damage that happened between the nomination and assuming office. It’s not like it’s a natural progression - dude can’t speak in complete sentences anymore. Not sure how this is relevant to Platner.
