The two key improvements I see in Getz over Hahn are that he is smart enough to realize that defense is important and that he needs to acquire as much pitching talent as he can because many will obviously bust. Hahn didn’t give a crap about defense and he also thought his work was done once he found 5 legitimate starters. He never accounted for injuries. However, I am also not a fan of what Getz apparently values in position players so far. It reminds me too much of Kenny and his love for “grinders” over talent. For this team to ever be in competition again, it needs good players with more than just leadership and defensive skills.

I disagree. S’mores are awesome. The graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate on the cup are the main appeal. Otherwise, it’s just a chocolate shake.

Report back on how it is, after your food coma and nap.

Not everyone in the mainstream media knows or even cares that Getz is obsessed with former Royals or that they would be the team that would give a terrible manager a contract extension based on some ridiculously minor improvement.

LOL, very convenient preview cutoff.

So it looks like we are average in March. Perhaps, “mired in mediocrity”, one could say.

Remember how awesome we thought our post-rebuild lineups would look on paper? It never panned out but now the bottom half of our lineup is DeJong, Pillar, Maldonado, and Lopez — literally bench players on almost any other MLB team.

You may think he sucks but he’s spot on here. 65 wins sounds about right and he definitely has his pulse on the White Sox and Getz with the ex-Royals acquisitions joke.

Epic. They are just like us.

MLB66? ?

Sure does. But honestly, I don’t think $15 dollars is even that bad considering ballpark prices and inflation. What is a beer or soda? $10+ dollars these days? A large crappy shake at McDonald’s will cost you $5 bucks and that thing looks way more amazing. You can probably feel your blood sugar levels rising while you are eating it.

Maybe not. @WestEddy made a good point that Grossman’s defense is Sheets-like in RF, but I guess that hasn’t stopped them from starting Sheets in RF. However, they will still need Pillar to back up CF. Ideally, Grossman tears it up at AAA and they can somehow fit both Pillar and Grossman on the roster. It’s too bad no one else can back up 1B because Sheets is the guy who should be in AAA. Grossman and Pillar are old and may be done but they have both hit lefties fairly well in their careers and it could make some sense if they are in LF and RF respectively against left-handed starters, with Robert in CF, Eloy at DH, and Benintendi on the bench.

Obviously it’s a surgical procedure which is never good for a pitcher, but isn’t it almost somewhat beneficial for a team that wants to retain a Rule 5 pick when this happens? Makes it easier to keep the Rule 5 pick?

It’s gotta be photoshopped, right?

I puked. Thanks.

“Dems fightin woids!”

They are both getting paid to talk baseball and don’t have to sit on the hot seat like a manager. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

You think a depth chart is going to stop Grifol from doing something stupid? Sheets is seeing RF again this season.

AJP absolutely shredded Getz. I love how Getz immediately rocks back in his chair nervously, turns red, and starts sweating.

Good, hopefully they wait to call him up after they gain the extra year of control but it doesn’t sound like they will.

While he’s on the air, he should slam that new chocolate shake, get it all over himself, and give both Jerry and Brooks Boyer the double middle finger salute, just like this guy.

Thank goodness for T-Mobile and free MLB.TV. I couldn’t imagine paying to watch this team.

Ozzie has them at 62 wins. Chuck picked 70.

They just lost Eduardo Rodriguez to a left lat strain so this makes some sense. The option vests if Montgomery starts at least 10 games during the 2024 season.

Curious to see the money. Surprised the Yankees didn’t pounce.
