  1. We actually appear to have 3 pretty solid catchers in the system. Thaiss is a solid backup.
  2. TBF the character flaw is mostly pitching behind this offense. Pitching isn't great, the offense is once again putrid.
  3. The way Peralta was throwing tonight to let him go 5+ with only 2 on the board is just awful. Hanging breaker after hanging break and we refused to do anything.
  4. this broadcast sucks balls. just show the fucking game.
  5. Also a GREAT play by Sosa to come in front of the bag to take the tag. He straddles the back he's probably safe.
  6. Wilson is a dead ringer for a younger Lance Lynn.
  7. I love spicy food but the habanero has a poor flavor profile. Jalapeno is almost always better. Also I'm just not a big fried chicken sandwich guy. The bread isn't needed with fried chicken...
  8. adam sandler is decent at basketball? thanks Schriffen
  9. There are probably two players on the entire team I'd stop what I'm doing to watch. One is Shane Smith the other is quero. When Vaughn is up I'm more likely to grab a beer than anything related to watching him. That said, I do think the FO thinks he's a bit of a fan favorite. Undersized white guy, resonates!
  10. If he had a history of being an average regular it's one thing but he's literally been replacement level or worse for his career. I'd love to see how many guys, 3rd overall pick or not, approached 2.5K PA of below replacement production. Usually you don't get that long of a leash. Vaughn will have 2.5K PA and negative career fWAR if he's still on this team come July. Wow, look at this: disgusting company. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&month=&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&players=0&sortcol=21&sortdir=asc&startdate=&enddate=&pageitems=30&season1=2021&season=2025 Vaughn has basically 1000 more PA during that period than any other negative fWAR player. He's been given a runway the length of a light year.
  11. just an awful lineup. No reason to have Vaughn ahead of Vargas right now and why in god's name is Palacious leading off again?
  12. 1/4 with a GiDP, K, warning track fly and thrown out trying to score on a double. That's a good day for him.
  13. Carrying two 1B who are both right handed just doesn't make any sense regardless of the rest of the roster. Vaughn just needs to either accept a AAA stint, accept a fake IL, or just get DFA imo.
  14. While I agree we should call him up you're vastly overestimating the percentage of the fanbase represented on twitter and other online spaces. It's maybe 1/5 at most that is tuned into those areas.
  15. I really believe it comes down to Getz not being able to say he wasted 5.5 million or whatever on Vaughn. He should just throw Hahn under the bus and say it was a terrible pick and blah blah DFA him.
  16. He can't possibly be worse than Vaughn right now. He's a better athlete if absolutely nothing else and can save a few balls from going into RF over at first.
  17. Vaughn is officially the worst player in baseball according to Fangraphs. Impressive April. They should just audition his spot in the lineup the rest of the year, give guys a month see what they can do.
