In 162 of these things a few of them are gonna be big ole stinky piles of poo. This is one. Hopefully one of a few.

At least we got 7 innings out of Tommy Hunter and rested most of our bullpen.

If you're going to suck, it's good to at least get some good out of it.

So we go 9-6 against the AL elite, and then go to Missouri and crap the bed against the Royals? Cool. Sounds about right.

The Royals are playing very good baseball right now. I'm not sure why we were ecstatic to get to KC.

A fellow optimist. Good to know ya! Huge start for Hunter tonight.

    • Why was only Judge mentioned if it's obvious? Don't make stupid omissions don't get obvious fact checked.
    • Wieters had a career fWAR of 15.5. Adley is at 14.3 in less than 3 seasons. Its Adley…by a mile.
    • 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.
    • Captain obvious enters the room
    • 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. 
    • Please do.   Zero people have said don’t spend money. You are lying. 
    • I see we now have 23 people that have lost their mind. 😂 well, I don’t think they’ll be a 24th.
