Yeah that bridge is burnt down.

A new offense and a new bullpen. Easy peasy.

A walk every 4+ innings is a perfectly fine rate.

It's funny we went from hiring Getz to save a year, yet here we are refusing to do any development or evaluations.

Honestly? The stats the kids put up don't really matter. It's about getting them playing time, evaluating them, and seeing what they can give you.

He had put up a .704 OPS when he was playing regularly. Not great, but WAY better than most of the rest of the roster.

No one is trading for Eloy

Ask yourself who is connected to TLR.

Kopech got a gift there.

He will get more consistent around his pitches with experience and that extreme extremeness will fade away.

That's why everyone in the minors has a K/9 rate of 12+.

Also great to see Thorpe look better

Nicky couldn't have gotten any luckier.

He hit it.

I love when people write stories without knowing their history. https://fansided.com/posts/mlb-rumors-pirates-eloy-jimenez-white-sox-trade

A ball he thought was a homer but just missed.

Title of Pedro's highlight tape.

I am sure Hi8is did nothing stupid in his youth

As long as he doesn't go full Peavy, we should be ok.

At least when your roster has the talent for half that.

He obviously wasn't ready and it showed. Which is why calling him up instead of someone with more experience was dumb in the first place, let alone now after to lost him for nothing.

Nah, needs to be someone with rookie status in tact.

DeJong does it, cool. Rookie does it and gets exiled to Elba, or maybe Charlotte.

Not to mention this becomes a quality flex when you remember who was responsible for guys like Ellis getting developed was someone you might have heard of before.
