  1. The rest of the AL Central must thank JR for sabotaging this team. Here is this young core, lets hire the old duffer who barely knows what day it is.
  2. Tony looks like he is on the verge of death after these games in the post-game interviews. He mumbles, gets confused, and looks out of it. Great fucking hire JR.
  3. So to the TLR Official Excuse Crew, why the fuck did the simpleton intentionally walk another hitter on a 1-2 count. I can wait for your answer while you put down the water you are carrying. It's probably heavy.
  4. He has had a short arm action for a while now. So it's laughable for this comment and the others talking about changing the arm slot. This was the same thing he did when he had his resurgent year. So besides the fact that it hurts your mechanical sensibilities, it has nothing to do with his struggles this year. If he massively bulked up and doesn't pay attention to his mobility and flexibility, then yes, that can cause all sorts of issues with his ability to drive through and get everything behind the ball. Injury is another possibility. The sticky stuff could affect his spin rate. Another thing is not staying behind the ball and driving through it. Cutting it or having a crazy arm side run can also decrease spin rate. That would be easy to see and would be something identified pretty quickly. They have every technological toy in the tool shed to analyze this and to help fix it. If it's an injury or a change in flexibility, then no tool can help that.
  5. This is clowning at this point. This is like younger travel teams where the kid just keeps running to second because they are fundamentally bad.
  6. Drunky needs another fan to yell instructions to him or he is lost.
  7. A 50 billion dollar bullpen and Ruiz is first guy out. Great work.
  8. One team has decided to use OFers in the OF, the other thinks its MLB the Show on Rookie setting with DH/1B types
  9. Jose Ruiz up because the corpse managing probably heard a fan yell Ruiz.
  10. He should. Catch the fucking ball. It's not a terribly difficult thing.
  11. Same man has 1st basemen playing RF, a Catcher playing 1st to keep his "checks notes" bat in the lineup at least once a week, and that chaos angel out in LF. It's a beer league defense.
  12. Most HS OFers catch that. Hell 70% of the Frosh team OFers catch that.
  13. Colas has played in a pro league before. Bringing him up makes sense.
  14. It simple. You rotate Abreu and Vaughn between first and DH. If it hurts Abreu's wittle feewings then tell him to get over it. If Frank Thomas can DH so can Abreu.
  15. Trading cost-controlled players because the manager is a goof is a recipe for amazing success with a JR team.
  16. This is weird. I changed the settings to the rookie, and still, my 7 DH lineup isn't fast. Just weird.
  17. Well, that's because our talent evaluators kind of suck at evaluating our talent.
  18. It also helps when your catcher is a DH who is just wearing the funny outfit so he can go up and hit 3 times a game.
