Kinda funny that all of the marginal SP FAs from last Jan/Feb (gausman, Milone, rosenthal) all performed decently and are the main trade acquisitions thus far.

Love your posts. My other thing is this: at this point we have the “control” we need. Most of our impact guys are controlled, a big enough core to mix and match around them. Don’t overrate control on the next addition, maximize impact. I’d much rather trade “18 years of control” the phrase people are using for 1.5 excellent years than four 2.5-3 win years. Are 3 win players hard to find? Sure, but the thing that will push us each year a little bit harder will be turning an average or below position like one of our SP or RF spots and turning it into an all star or better.

Feels like we are at the point where the sellers may as well wait for deadline

When a single reliever turns a 1 run lead into a four run deficit it’s on the reliever...but it’s mostly on the manager

Woof

Yes

No they need a lot pitching wise

Our bullpen is fresh

Ain’t nothing quiet about it

Nice we just need a pop to the outfield *sees Madrigal is up* Ah well

Yeah we need to get singer in the stretch more

Well there you go

“I’d like to see Robert try a steal” *hears shrieks from board about his slides*

Glad the IMO cleaned up the outside corner finally. Sad it happens against Cease first

Gonna guess it includes an outfielder

Brb going to injure myself just so I can hire Harold ankin now that TA is his spokesman

all these teams are in on Lynn because he sucks

Hahaha

Uh. Wow this is a terrible ump.

Watching last years playoffs definitely led me to idea that older good pitchers don’t exist.

Absolutely. Especially when Bummer gets back. Being able to throw both of those guys gives us one of the best bullpens in baseball, one is the best lineups, and a much more solid rotation for the playoffs.

My honest feeling is do not overpay for control. Get the best guy at the price you feel comfortable

I thought that’s where I was lol my bad
