It's just amazing to me how horribly wrong things go for this team at the same time.

It's like a perfect storm of **** for this team all too often.

Stop being so "reactionary." It's only been 12 years. :laughlol:

Yep...The roster will keep getting better.

The problem is so many of you overrated this team early on and then you get all bent out of shape when they are struggling.

:laughlol::laughlol::laughlol:

First of all, don't lump me in with that collective "you" statement there.

Second, unless the youngsters come up and don't take their lumps for long, there's no way in hell this team doesn't win 75.

Let's give Hughes some credit, that pitch was pretty nasty looking. Nick obviously did not expect him to throw a curve on 3-2 with 1st and 3rd and one out and got frozen. He knew it was a strike. Big pitch. No excuses for Roberts.

Only thing that makes sense for Roberts to get into a rundown, was the hope that they'd trade Andino scoring for the out (if Brian could stay in it long enough). Did he ever even break for home?

Yeah you are right and no I don't think he ever broke but who knows. Certainly Samuel should have been telling him to go.

Blasphemy. We're not that far removed from The Professor, the Human Windmill, at third.

Well, Guthrie just plugged Teix nice and good. I hope he did that on purpose.

Yeah, but c'mon Samuel is pretty bad. And I second the Tex plug sentiments. Maybe we need a good old brawl? :scratchchinhmm: Team building exercise.

That's Huff, Roberts and Markakis now that have swung at pitches for strike three that were literally 2 or 3 feet out of the strike zone.

Seriously - did somebody put some kind of liquor in the Gatorade or something? You NEVER see that.

Double seriously.

      Kjerstad Joining Team

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I'm not saying the bolded is impossible. But what are the odds of that happening for the rest of this season, even if he were to be called up tomorrow? I'm not sure how much value Moutcastle would have (even if he continues to have a very good season) to a team who is rebuilding/reseting/tanking/whatever you want to call it. Mountcastle would seem to have more value to a team who is trying to win and needs offensive production at 1B/DH. And if they are already trying to win, what pitching are they willing to depart with. The only team I can think of that may fit this mold is SEA. IMO that's way too much to give up for a relief pitcher, considering that we only need a good middle reliever. We don't need Emmanuel Clase for the rest of this season. It looks like Kimbrel will do. And then next year Felix will be coming back.

      I think Elias' MO is always going to be to squeeze the max potential value out of every asset. If Kjerstad isn't playing well enough to wrest away more than 10 ABs/week from the other players on the roster, then I don't think he stays up. Especially when he'd be tying up a bench spot with a player who can really only play one position in the field. He's going to have to earn a bigger time share to justify his spot.

      Well, he either shows something or he doesn't. I don't think he's going anywhere until he shows something.

      Means starting tonight for Norfolk. Hopefully he puts some length in his start tonight. Probably his next to last minor league start if they do bring him back up.

      I'm not saying that id not possible, but it is certainly not probable. Given the talent gap between Carter and Norby. Again, IMO the greater odds/gain is that Norby is a useful piece in a trade than him becoming the next Evan Carter.

      That sequence showed why Mateo is on the team. There are much worse things than having him in the 9 spot here and there versus LHP. And when he’s not, he can pinch run and do the exact same thing. It’s why when push comes to shove, and it will soon, it’s Urias’ head on the chopping block and not Jorge’s.    We all know this, but it’s nice to see it demonstrated on the field here and there as a reminder.

      We could really use Cease too. The WS had a lineup the other day and I believe everyone or at least 8 guys had a sub 200 BA.
