At this point laughing a bit more at the mets is the least of my concerns. I wish Robert well but he is what he is at this point. At least he had a monster opening couple games for them.

Right now the problem with Getz as GM is the problem with Getz as head of player development: he can't SCOUT. He has absolutely zero eye for talent. At least Hahn preferred tools, even if a guy had zero actually ability. Getz likes 1 tool players that can't play as a bonus. There's zero upside to most these guys, relievers, OF and SP. The only spots filled by young talent are guys you really can't miss on giving what we traded.

Agree, and an obvious PR move even if it only sells some seats in Charlotte when they start.

Will has no good options. I don't envy him this year. He has very little upside for his career and it's hanging on somehow squeezing 70 wins out of a 65 win roster.

Turns out rule 5 draft picks usually suck, go figure.

Between this and the USMNT boy oh boy.

are you on MLB.tv? As I said yesterday it's like someone is video taping the game off a camcorder in front of the broadcast. Bizarre quality I'm guessing MLB.tv just gave up trying uncompressed 1080p, it looks awful.

I don't mind Bacon. He's a bit of a uncultured hick but he knows it and sticks to what he knows, which is baseball.

That is honestly what I thought. Our guy Ks and John just clammed up like Hawk would at times.

Austin hays is dogshit. We are running out a lineup that is non competitive at 1/3 the spots, regardless of the improvement elsewhere.

So is John just not going to bother with play by play at times? Yikes. Bacon having to step in there.

How some of you guys have watched baseball as long as you have and think that was Peters' ball is crazy. CF has the gaps. This is LL stuff. You have to back off as a corner guy if he misses it he misses it, it's the CF ball tho.

It's probably just a combo of having poor defenders and poor coaching but man it seems our guys are never really in a good tagging position.

ah yea got his helmet.

It looked like he got his shoulder after he over slid. Lucky.

whoever teaches our IF tags needs to be replaced. We've struggled with it for years.

that didn't take long.

Meh. CF isn't just something most guys can adjust to at the MLB level. So far from what I've seen he's a zero war backup SS moonlighting as a starting CF on a 100 loss team. That Getz scouted him as a CF of starting quality is baffling.

so they are always here...!

he's not good but he also pitched well enough today to win, and the s%*# roster let him down.

perception always matters with bloodlines.

We really targeted a zero WAR SS for our CF problem.

Two of the worst throws you'll see at the MLB level back to back. Dude is throwing a fucking screwball from the OF.

yea that is the footwork of a guy that is not a natural OF. Another amazing Getz find.
