If I'm manager, Nick gets a seat on the bench right now. What a moron.

Being that he's a veteren and one of our clubhouse leaders, I'd tell him to go take a shower and not bother to sit down...I may go burn my official $300 Nick Markakis jersey right now....

If Nick did that on his own, he definitely gets a seat. But if Buck called it, what then? And BTW, why won't Buck bunt? Tying run at second with no outs on the road? Why not play for the tie and take your chances from there. That might be an old school thought, but it at least gets you a decent chance of tying the game, instead of subsequent... stupidity.

Someone said Buck is sick or something, he could just have malaria.

You aren;t bunting with Jones at the plate.

Bunt with Adam? Wieters?

we probably blew our chance, but Nick is still great. He gave us our only RBI which makes us one run closer, even with his mistake he did better than every other hitter this game

You don't hit and run with a man on 2B and only 1 out and your best hitter at the plate.
Why, it was a man at second, not a double play situation that makes no sense. If it was that is even worse than the steal attempt.

You could make an argument that running Markakis opens a hole on the left side that would be easy to poke one through with how hard he was throwing.

It's not a good argument, but I can at least see the logic, even though I still consider it a completely idiotic move.

      Why was only Judge mentioned if it's obvious? Don't make stupid omissions don't get obvious fact checked.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Wieters had a career fWAR of 15.5. Adley is at 14.3 in less than 3 seasons. Its Adley…by a mile.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Santander is a low OBP, poor BA, mediocre fielder with very little base running value player.   He has great power and can carry a team. He’s a really good dude, solid in the clubhouse and a great representative for your franchise. In many ways, he is exactly like Trumbo even if he is the better player.  And even if he doesn’t fall off as dramatically as Trumbo did, he’s still very likely to fall off.    For what he will cost, you can bring in some solid pitching. Next years offense, barring any trades, should look something like this: 1st-Mayo, 2nd- Holliday, SS- Gunnar, 3rd- Westburg C- Adley OF- Kjerstad and Cowser Basallo potentially ready by midseason or so. That leaves you with decisions on Mountcastle, Mullins and OHearn and I guess Santander. You need to get right handed. Mounty is a righty but unless you are moving Mayo to the OF, you need him to play first. Do you keep Mounty around to be a 1st/DH if Mayo is also going to play the OF?  Maybe. Some RH bats to consider: Tyler O’Neill. Having a really nice year.  Strong arm in the OF but struggles out there otherwise. Not a great fit for OPACY LF. JD Martinez: Still can hit but zero versatility. In a game that values that, do you want to sign someone who doesn’t give you any?  On the Os, it may be ok but I tend to doubt they would. Duvall: Good defensive player. Abysmal with the bat this year but was very good last year. buy low guy who could provide some bench value. Robert: Been awful this year and had injury issues in the past. WS have already said they will trim payroll after this year. There are very few ways for them to do that, especially since Benintendi has no value. Robert will be made available. Great spend, very good in the OF and still a tremendous offensive upside. He will cost a lot less to acquire than last offseason.  The Os reportedly were interested in him before. Teams like the Dodgers and Mariners were linked to him at the deadline. There will be competition for him and maybe the Os don’t have the same depth to trade out of that they did in the past, so it may be tough but they should look into it.

      Gunnar got his 20th SB the other day.  I was curious and looked at his sprint speed vs Ohtani.  His is 28.8 vs 28.1 for Ohtani.  It made me appreciate even more Ohtani’s 50SBs.
