HOWTF did Ichi TOUCH that last pitch and then single on the next????

#magician

No clue how he hit that either- the yanks are playing to win. A-Rod is gonna bust himself to hit a homerun.... that is if he doesn't get hit himself (again)

Not watching the game, but why should Dempster be tossed? Was it obviously intentional? In retaliation for something?

It couldn't actually be just because Dempster like many other current players are upset with Arod over everything that has been transpired is it? If so, that would be interesting, if all teams started this, hitting Arod as often as possible to send a message on how disgusted they are with him. Not saying head hunting, but just bean him good once a game or when you can without effecting your team negatively by putting a runner on.

Yes, it was obvious. He thrw behind him first pitch, then missed inside and drilled him 3-0. Plain as day.

Words can't describe, and I would be better to not even speak them on this board.... words cannot describe the hatred I feel for ARod. Hatred, disgust, shame.

I am ambivalent about Arod as a player/person. I can forgive cheating for the sake of getting ahead etc. I don't easily forgive dudes being jerks or A-holes to other people. I haven't followed the saga that is ARod enough to come to a conclusion about how much of an A-hole he is. Of course I suppose you can consider cheating as being a big A-hole to all the non cheaters and fans. But in my book, the pressures and temptations make cheating sadly all too predictable given the foibles of Man.

Thanks. For retaliation for something in game or because of Arod and what is going, do you think?

Just for Arod, nothing happened earlier. I thought right away it was on purpose the first pitch. He kind of half hearted came inside the next 2 pitches. I figured he was drilling him the next pitch, 3-0 was so obvious. One good thing is there is no way Dempster doesn't get suspended for one start, not that he is a an all-star.

Thanks again. This "story" is getting more interesting all the time.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.

      I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything.

      Chayce McDermott 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
