Funny the history of the word retarded is a 1950's version of PC.  It was to make people not use words like moron or idiot.  Then real life happened and kids in the 50's through the 80's used it any w

I can!  Me in the cage in '80 during offseason in high school.  And I have a knuckleball if needed in blowout games. More recent.

That was 2 years ago when he brought in Philips as a throw in to the trade. The minor leaguers have developed much more since then and there's not enough room for them all as it is.  He's trying to figure out who has developed and will stick at the MLB level. 

As for Hicks, that was due to a Mullins injury and Hicka just happened to be a switch hitting Centerfielder (better than any CF we had) that became available at the right time of need.

Timing is everything in this world.

Phillips was acquired in a separate deal for cash considerations. Because for some reason known but to God, Mike wanted a guy who was hitting .147.

It sounds as if you’re saying that Mike doesn’t do that kind of thing anymore because it’s not necessary, to which I will reply, “Tony Kemp“

And maybe Yohann Ramirez, too and possibly Thyago Viera, if he gets added to the 26.

I mentioned Tommy Pham because he hits well, and because Mike seems to like getting guys we don’t need. If you’re gonna get somebody, we don’t need might as well be somebody you can hit.

Again, I don’t want to get another guy, I want to use the guys we have, but I just threw out his name after reading his page.

Are they still?

I know they were but I haven't seen any updates recently.
 

Wow, 40 runs fewer than the team in 29th place.  They still not good.

Yeah, they are averaging 2.5 R/G or somewhere in that vicinity.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
