I caught (well got) the ball today. It was a cool moment. I need to get the ball to him because he deserves it.

I wanted to note something I saw in last night's game that showed Adley's leadership qualities.  Hyde came to get Kremer after he allowed the single with 2 outs. Kremer, who was already pitching

With two of the top players in the game they'd be unstoppable!

Kid is absolutely fried out there. Hyde needs to back the F off already. You're frying the most important player on the team. As Adley goes the team goes. 

 

On a related note, Adley is frickin massive right now. Listed at 6'2" 230, but looks to be 240 plus. Anybody seen him live this season? Just absolutely massive. And I don't all fat, he's Barrell-chested as hell. He's got to watch himself, that's a lot of weight to be squatting down every day for hours at a time. 

 

You can't ride a 6'2" 240 poundish catcher the same way you ride a 6'0" 185 pound middle infielder.

I voted 4-5 WAR in this poll. For once, I might be right about something.

95% of those who voted, voted for him to be worth 5 or more WAR. He’s on pace to be worth less and yet people aren’t disappointed with his year thus far?  Lol

It's definitely disappointing. I don't think he's a bust yet. This is his first full season and it's a grind for sure. I do think he's going to have some incredible seasons in the future.

No doubt. He may even have an incredible season this year but acting as if what we have seen thus far isn’t a disappointment compared to expectations is absurd.

Hard to argue with that considering expectations coming into the season.

Cool.  A new thing to whine and cry and complain about.

Adley Rutschman is going to be the starting catcher for the AL All-Star team.

Not good enough!

When is the "Call Up Basallo!" chant coming? 

I mean, Heim is more deserving. You do know a terrible and washed up Derek Jeter was the starter like every year, right? Cool, he's the best SS ever.

Has anyone actually said they weren’t disappointed?   Speaking for myself, I said I was mildly disappointed based on my expectations coming into the season.  And he’s at a lower point right now than he was when I said that.

He’s basically doing half of what you said and you are only mildly disappointed? I just don’t believe that. For whatever reason, people are afraid to say how they really feel because it’s Adley.

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
