  1. This is going to be a blowout big time
  2. I am sooooo tired already of Spenser Watkins … he has no business being on a starting rotation in ML I had just typed that when he was hit by line drive.. I hope he is OK of course but Twilight Zone stuff Amazing how often teams like Rays, Yankees jump on teams in first inning .. they are ready to go and step on your throats when the bell rings
  3. He will need to adjust better both in game and between games as hitters have seen him more and he needs to be less predictable the second time through .. otherwise he will be a bullpen guy.
  4. None of the number one picks in the draft since 2012 have become stars except for Carlos Correa taken in 2012 . Some have been disasters.. Mark Appel comes to mind Adley will need to continue to work hard to be a star .. very few MO players reach that.
  5. Pretty pitiful … comeback? Comeback? Ummm not this bunch.. 6 losses in a row .. we may well be in double digits soon. Radio broadcast sounds like Yankee Stadium .. huge ovation for the win .. disgusting
  6. Ty Cobb in 1960 on what he thought be might hit against modern pitchers. ”Probably about .280” ”only .280? Why so low?” ”Well I am 73”
  7. Sometimes Hyde needs to rip somebody a new one, but he doesn’t have that ability imho
  8. I watched the number 3 ranked Virginia Tech Hokies mow down Kansas State yesterday … they looked much better than this nonsense
  9. Yes … I would have traded Mancini Mullins and Means this winter .. Hays has had to play better to increase his value but would trade him, now would do it
  10. Soooo all the surge of positive comments recently are in the rear view mirror.. playing one of the worst teams in the AL before we come to town and they look like the Yankees .. pitching zeros, runs driven in , home runs … just disgusting .. i should check back on this team in 2023 . And these announcers are promoting the AL East “showdown” starting tomorrow with the MFYs … lol
  11. Cabrera needs to have his feet moved ..that constant reaching in over the plate.. he just digs in
  12. Absolutely.. we of the OH have the strongest of constitutions !
  13. Get out the brooms .. being a good player not only means having skills, it means having a strong constitution, showing up for 160 games is as important as skills we seemingly have some of the most fragile young players ever ..
  14. Getting swept by the Tigers will take the air out of the sentiment of the OP lol
  15. 47 pitches after two.. 97 pitches in 7th ..50 pitches in 5 innings
  16. This has been the case for 15 years. He has probably hit .400 against us
  17. We shall see… it will be amazing if this team gets even to .500. I do think it would take that or better for Elias to consider adding any expensive free agents this winter …more likely, not until the 2023 winter
  18. Most everyone has read Larry Ritter’s classic book, Glory of Their Times. It is universally felt to be one of the best baseball books ever. I have read it many times, but just recently happened upon the Audible version. In it, the actual interviews with the oldtime players makes up the book.. so you get to hear Fred Snodgrass talking about John McGraw and Sam “Wahoo” Crawford talk about Ty Cobb and facing Walter Johnson. It is truly remarkable and may be my favorite audiobook now ever.
