It was a request from Cali in another thread. With all the negativity surrounding the off season and no upgrades or hole filters I'm thinking the majority will say no. But we're fans so maybe I'm wrong.

Done

Will this roster win a playoff series?

I believe by definition a top 5 team would win a playoff series. I'm with SS, most here (greater than 50% but less than 100%) do not think this team is capable of advancing in the playoffs without bolstering RF, 2nd, and SP.

I agree. I'm also sold. I'm so much closer to Houston. I could catch a few games each summer. See my daughter and her family. I may have a new team.

Actually I think we would agree that both are important and necessary.

Sell pitchers and buy OF prospects. Seems like an easy decision.

With all do respect, sea gulls are flying rats. They are loud, obnoxious, and crap anywhere. If Lee Elia was an ornithologist he'd rant about them.

Lol. I was thinking the same thing.

Yep, two options. He becomes a high school PE coach or finally becomes a MLB player. Trading pitching prospects for OF prospects is a solid strategy. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple more corner outfielders being traded for in MiLB deals.

Let's all do some hip stretches to honor him.

I'm so jaded by today's world. I assume there were hours of meetings with his lawyers, advisors, and writers calculating his response. I have zero reason to believe that my impression is true, but I just see celebrities as calculating their media presence. It's unfair to everyone involved.

I'm a fan. Combined with limiting pick off attempts, and we revitalize the running game.

If Jada and Will walk out they win. No one to accept the best actor award and Chris Rock looks like mean spirited ass. Yeah, the slap looked weak. Maybe he's trying for GI Jane 3?

Anyone read if Chris Rock knew about her medical condition?

He shouldn't have been in the game. Get a couple OFrs and he can be backup at DH. There was a chance he would have lit up AAA last year. He's getting rushed along and forced out of position. And does he really benefit?

Great point. The reactions today as folks in the room sober up and fully understand will be interesting.

It looks minor so it's probably really bad.

Wow. I'll do a double dose of can't defend. Can't defend the joke, can't defend the hit. A couple not invited back announcements should be in the works.

He just doesn't have much left in the tank. I'm happy for him and checking my summer travels schedule. If I'm close to STL I'll catch a game.

Great point. You've been around the game a lot. So why is it that some players can play multiple positions and others like AC can't? Athleticism?

He's a player making a play. I can't criticize him for making the dive.

That would be great.

I agree. They made the change to increase attendance. Do you think the hard core fans stopped attending or the casual fans? I think they need to end the regular season in mid September, make each of the regular season games more important.

You are welcome!
