  1. He must just want to go back to Korea. Someone here would give him more than 3-4 for a year. Probably figures less stress/taxes.
  2. Rays are about to sign Phil Maton. So there are still some solid vets out there. I think we'll sign one soon.
  3. We have a real owner now who, y'know, can just sign a big arm. This is the type of move you just have to if you're serious about winning a WS. You need this type of arm in the playoffs. Now having said that, you're giving up a lot of years of control for one year. Also, Burnes was diminished last year whether we want to admit it or not. Velocity down, strikeouts down. Did make changes and course correct in the second half. This is a Houston in their prime type of acquire slightly diminished Ace and get them back to peak form. Also better stadium, defense, Adley handling.
  4. Think it's pretty obvious it was sitting on the table and needed an owner who isn't a cheapskate scumbag to greenlight. So it took David Rubenstein one day to greenlight landing a legit Ace. Angelos family hadn't done that in decades.
  5. Seems like a repeat of last year: good at home and completely horrendous on the road. Just really missing Hart's offense and Martinez's defense. Don't understand how you let those guys get away? The freshmen look like duds. Still, you would think they'd improve almost by default considering how bad they've been. But don't remember a Maryland team being this paper thin basically ever. Real issue is next year when you lose almost everyone (especially if Reese moves on). Doesn't look like recruiting is getting anywhere. Will need to work the portal but Willard failed there this season.
  6. What an absolute disaster. Willard's teams are godawful on the road. Willard already looking like the wrong guy. I don't get what happened in the offseason. Brought in nobody from the portal and lost Hakim Heart. The freshmen look terrible. Also why are you heaving up endless threes when you can't shoot? Turgeon's teams used to do this nonstop and it drove me crazy.
  7. What he can do and what he wants to do are two different things. I think it's obvious he cares more about money. Look, we obviously needed to add a TOR last offseason and they cheaped out. It's pretty clear cut at this point, sign or acquire a TOR or you're not serious about truly contending.
  8. Rangers lineup has no easy outs and their manager has won 12 of his last 13 playoff series. Can't believe people here actually preferred to face them. Anyway, we didn't sign a single difference maker during the offseason then doubled down on the stupidity by not adding anyone proven at the deadline. They gambled on pure hopium that Flaherty's good July wasn't a mirage, but it was. They gambled they could fix Fuji in time. Like, why are you gambling and not simply adding proven vets who might cost slightly more but would be far more reliable?
  9. Yeah, never passed the smell test for me. Like this guy is going to flush a NINE figure contract for what ...
  10. Yeah, Tampa got a guy pitching like an Ace and we got an arsonist who has been mostly lousy the past two seasons. That swing right there could easily be the difference.

    Guy just likely cost himself hundreds of millions.
  12. He's given up 12 runs in his last 9 innings.
  13. Cease is trash this year. It's amazing how good we've been considering how godawful our offseason was.
  14. I mean the guy had a bad year and a half. A hot July didn't really change anything.
