Alex Rodriguez, Troy Tulowitki, Dan Uggla, Brandon Crawford.

Well, the present is now but the future will never be unimportant. Myopacity gets us trades like Zach Davies for Gerardo Parra. Gunnar is heating up and getting more comfortable. I’d encourage you to find a clip of Elias’ in game interview last night where he touched on Gunnar. Very insightful.

If I knew how to paint, I’d re-create this.

Even better. I love it.

We saw the Hebrew Hammer tonight

I don’t think they’ll be looking to trade him. He’s a key part of their pursuit for another ring.

Bingo.

To me he looks like he doesn’t believe in his ability to do damage when he swings, which I’d argue a sports psychologist could help. And based on his struggles against lefties throughout his (short) career and his trouble against breaking stuff this year, it’s also entirely conceivable that his swing may need to be tweaked. It’s not as if the Kelenic comp is some sort of death sentence but if this continues, I’m not sure how you could not see the similarities.

I think a demotion would actually help him. Looks like he’s playing not to be demoted right now instead of playing to play. It reminds me a bit of Kelenic in Seattle who has finally let loose this season so far and is enjoying massive success.

Ortiz had three rbi in his debut though so yea Gunnar is expendable

I mean if that’s the price, sure. But we’d definitely have to take on all of his salary.

I remember him having a very stoic demeanor even last year when he was playing well, though. I distinctly recall a post game, on field interview after he’d had a walk-off hit and was talking about it with no emotion and Kevin Brown prodded about having fun. That did get Gunnar to crack a big smile. That said, yea, he looks very heavy this year emotionally.

It’s in no way a joke for me. It’s a very legitimate concern and the current ownership has no equity with me. I think it’s absolutely warranted to be wary of them.

I feel like it’s more likely it came from the white LGBTQIA community. But yea, everyone Latino person in my life rolls their eyes at it.

Feminists

Great win today.

Ahhh I see. Moving on then.

Huh? People think Matteo is racist?

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in a sports telecast.

I think it’s mostly just on this forum. He’s our best power hitter and a fun guy so I imagine non-baseball nerds like him.

Flaws and all he’s an easy guy to root for. How many major league teams would he start for? At least 27 I’d imagine.

Hahaha he’s got power. That’s about it. I just always love watching guys who don’t look like athletes playing. Puckett, Gwynn, Mo Vaughn, Kung Fu Panda, etc…it’s fun. He does remind me of someone the Duquette Orioles would drag in from the dumpster and put in RF twice a week.

I love Willie Calhoun haha

Name like a Harry Potter character’s.

I think he should absolutely go to Aberdeen.
