Lotta games being lost on the message board this year, dad gumit.

No doubt

For someone that's 26 I can see not necessarily seeing a "need" to get vaccinated, but at the same time you're a professional athlete and part of that is being in safe quarters with others. Getting the vaccine will make that a bit safer for everybody, not a lot, but it all adds up. Whatever, it's not worth arguing about this shit anymore, people have made up their minds.

what is the number one predictor of future injury? prior injury.

Does a grade 2 groin stain always (or usually) get a surgery recommend fix?

Yea but the way he was (or wasn't) walking looked fairly close to grade 2. Lebron somehow managed to come back in like 3 weeks from a pretty bad grade 1. Maybe TA can do it in 5.

I mean the season is basically 1/3 over. Yea it's a long season, but 30% of it is OVAH.

Dude he's done for awhile. 6-8 weeks at best. You'll see him in August.

I don't think Fangraphs has properly recalculated the true talent level of the club. No I don't have any proof other than watching them but does anybody really believe Grandal is gonna finish with a 129 wRC+? It won't be 54, but I'd bet it's closer to 95 than 125.

I'm glad you enjoy it I really am. It sounds sorta dumb but your excited postings about 16-18 year olds on the back fields of Phoenix during the last couple years has been a nice distraction at times.

I feel like you are the official hype man for those leagues.

Right, I was trying to do a sloppy cost benefit analysis. It's not an easy position hahn is in. of course he made it so fuck him.

Maybe. Same boat as Jose, B- prospect at best. Might as well just hold Lynn honestly and maybe he pulls some crazy shit like 120 innings of 2 ERA that helps get them to 85 wins.

I mean, maybe it's sacrilege but if someone wants to take Jose off our hands, for like a B- type prospect I'm all ears. I love the guy, I will take a picture with his statue when they build it, but if the team is under .500 and he's really thinking about retirement getting an asset for him would be a huge win. The guys I see as having value to trade are in order: Gio Liam Jose No point in selling Eloy low, same with Moncada. Nobody wants Grandal without picking up huge money. Engel is more valuable here than the C prospect he'd get. Vaughn is untouchable given his service time and future value. Ditto Robert and his contract. The young pitching cost controlled you need so that means no to Cease, Kopech and anybody else that emerges. nobody wants pollock. TA untradeable for obvious reasons, mostly that he's too good of a player. So who's left here? Leury? Ha. If you DFA him nobody would even bite. Some of the relievers? Sheets? Burger? Nobody wants to give up anything for them. Your big pieces are Gio and Liam. Jose could possibly get you a back end top 150 type. That's pretty shitty but that's where we are at. We're onto the "hope and wishes" part of the season. Not even June yet.

I keep hearing oh yea everybody else in the division sucks too not time to panic. Come on. After losing Tim, on paper this is a 78-82 win team. I don't care how bad the rest of the division is someone will win 85 wins. Right now we are not even CLOSE to that sort of production.We just lost basically the only guy playing well in the lineup. We're an injury away from a starter from being a 75-78 win team. If by the 2nd week of July this team isn't 5--10 over I'd probably blow it all up. If you're sitting at 36-43 on July 6th there's absolutely zero reason to expect a turnaround.

Bruh ngl I can't stomach most the games let alone checking fangraphs to measure the damage. This is a bad team that doesn't deserve fan interest right now.

Yup, was going to mention that as well just didn't. Playing him out of position where he's -10 runs below average is a great way to crater his bat's value. At 1st he's probably league average. I was happy he didn't fall on his face in LF last year but at worst I thought he'd be a part timer out there and split 1B with Jose. Instead he's even seeing some time in RF, which is just bonkers.

I guess, hasn't proven he's a 2-3 WAR player yet. Has to stay healthy. That said, yea, if he stays healthy he's probably an average regular right now.

farm system hasn't produced a single average regular in the last three years that wasn't part of a big trade, that failure coming home to roost now.

Giolito is traded 100% of the time by a smart club non Yanks, non Dodgers edition. Get him out of here.

Another pyrric victory.

Well the stats bear it out if you want closure.

Fire the entire training staff.

I'm not even really upset and I'm just sad and let down. We waited so long and it appears half the guys we were banking on sorta just suck or are not the version we were banking on. Hate to go all Jack here but it's really sad how few real assets remain in the system. It's once again a stars and scrubs team and the stars are hurt way too often.

Historical offensive futility. We and the Mariners are the same club.
