Kopech's just putting his balls on the table and telling the Guardians you can't hit my fastball.

With Yoan hurt, this lineup is legit a AAA lineup.

Liam's slider doesn't suck.

Grossman would have been safe if he slid.

Right before they moved to DC. That's an ominous sign.

Might as well bring Kenny back before Hahn. Kenny didn't give a s%*# about developing talent, but he at least kept the team interesting and competitive. Hahn tanked for 4 years just for 2 playoff appearances.

0-7 vs the Tigers and Royals. They're both worse than Cleveland and Minnesota too. Detroit just lost a series at home to the A's. Like I said the other day, we're probably the worst team in baseball.

If they really are 2-20, someone will get fired as a sacrificial lamb. I'm not sure it'll be Pedro.

I think he's saying that's Grifol's overall record.

At least management knows this team will be historically bad. Why else would they be signing free agents like Pham and Clevinger? The fact that they're trying to save face from being historically awful at least proves they are capable of shame.

The Royals are absolute idiots for thinking Will Smith should close ahead of MacArthur. His stuff is light years better than Smith's.

The fact that this franchise had World Series aspirations just 2 years ago and is now looking like the 2003 Detroit Tigers needs to be studied.

What happens when the starters aren't putting up quality starts? This team might have 5 wins by the end of the month.

The whole rotation is actually performing well beyond expectations. It's just the rest of the team is an absolute disaster.

If they keep sucking like this, how long until the whole team turns on Grifol?

Hard to care when you know the offense won't score. Might as well let your starter go as long as possible.

You know how Hawk says every team wins 60 and loses 60 and it's the other 42 that matter? Well, I don't think this team is gonna win 60 games.

With Robert and Eloy both hurt, this team is gonna have trouble scoring 2 runs a game. If we're gonna suck hard, I'd rather watch 9 Daniel Palkas than a bunch of slap hitters who can field.

With Robert and Eloy out, probably not.

We may actually be the worst team in baseball. Even worse than the A's.

Not getting Harper or Machado led them to spend money on Grandal. It was a worthwhile contract for 2 years, but absolute crap after. Not getting Wheeler led to them spending money on Keuchel, who was worth it for 1 60 game season. I'd say these were the biggest mishaps in free agency that led to the rebuild failing. The TLR hire obviously didn't help, but I'm not sure any manager available could have fixed this team's underlying issues with effort, injuries, and just a general lack of chemistry.

I actually don't think Diggs was any better than Allen last year. Diggs was mid to terrible the last 10 games of the year while Allen was on pace for like 1600 receiving yards had he not gotten hurt at the end of the year. Allen is also a much better guy for a young QB to have. He also won't complain if he doesn't get enough targets like Diggs. Him being 2 years younger is a plus for Diggs though. Although I think with Allen's game so reliant on route running and less on his speed and athleticism, he should age well if he stays healthy.

Has Diggs really had an issue with motivation? I feel like he's a diva because he always wants the ball. If you put him in a contract year, he's just gonna want the ball more. Wouldn't that possibly create more issues for him?

He reminds me of Johnny Cueto

If you can get a good defensive catcher that runs into one once in a while while getting on base close .300, that has value. I'm still not sure he'll get near a .300 OBP, but we'll see.
