Any Bullets Left?.....Or Going Down In Flames?

[Roll Tide]

This is what happens when you allow players like Cruz,Markaksis and Miller to leave .

If you don't wanna pay the money then expect a mediocre team in MLB .

You can't tell me that even having just Cruz of that group gives us another 6-10 wins .

I don't know how many wins...but I think it might have to do with the big negative swing in the one run games.

Buck did start the bullpen early yesterday. With Sept call-ups, I think we'll see a lot more of that.

It absolutely does . Cruz was clutch .

Here's how I conservatively see it :

Cruz= 5 more wins

Markaksis- 2 more wins

Miller - 3 more wins

10 games over 500 right now and likely playoff bound .

You can't lose the type of talent we lost and expect to compete for the playoffs . I knew when we lost this talent we would be a mediocre team this year

Out of bullets,season is Over!!!!!!

[PeteCanes]

We missed Cruz pretty bad this year. Hard to replace that, I think it would've been worth the money for the run with the team we shoulda coulda.

We will waste it anyway.

The flames are getting pretty hot. Time to begin the huge job of putting a team together for next year. If the front office starts this morning maybe they can come up with something. Hopefully they'll do better than last years debacle. This season was over before it started.

???.....you posted up four Bullets player cards under Scott's "4 bullets" post, which you referenced. I'm confused. What needs to be fixed or amended??

The quote is not completed, so "

You can re-copy and paste my quote to fix it ........ or you can just leave it, it's not a big deal either way.

Cruz- 38 homers,79 rbi's,.317 batting average as of 8/26

Yep missing him is an understatement.

Yes, they should have a 160 million dollar payroll for sure. Angelos is rich dangit!

Best year of his career by far at the age of 35. I'm sure you predicted it.

Still 3 years left on the deal...

Yeah I predicted it . He will have another monster year next year .

Angelos has the money . He's just cheap and we will never have a consistent winner with him as owner .

We will have a year like last year followed by years of garbage

Just look at his pattern since he's been owner . Nuff said

You wanna win , sometimes you gotta show the money . Show me the money !

[Three Run Homer]

They will...but by then it will be too late.

They'll score 19 runs in one game against the Red Sox. Then they'll go back to scoring 2-3 runs a game against the Rays, Yankees and Blue Jays.

Regardless, DD knew we were losing 40 HRs and 100-plus RBI that Cruz supplied in 2014. If the braintrust didn't think Cruz could provide those numbers, they certainly should've gone out and gotten someone who they thought could fill that gaping hole in the lineup. Instead, we got Travis Snider. Nolan Reimold. Chris Parmelee. I must be forgetting the big bat they added to replace the aging, overpriced Cruz.

What. A. Joke.
