lol…you actually think I’m lying when I say an obviously dumb post was intentional trolling. f*** man, you got me. I guess I never posted the comment below in the 4th of July gamethread and unfortunately you weren’t there that day to agree with me. Oh wait…🤔 As for Robert, I have never argued he is a star player or even good in his current form and it’s fucking wild you are arguing otherwise. But I get it, you are butt hurt that I call you out for your consistently poor analysis & blindly pessimistic takes and are hoping to gotcha me. Unfortunately, tonight won’t be your night buddy.

We have a winner. I thought more people would have caught onto my blatant trolling, but my post was apparently just insane enough to seem dumb also sincere. Regardless, I 100% believe trading him is the right thing to do. If you want a vet SP to add to the mix, add one in the offseason.

I’d probably be willing to go 3/$60M on an extension with Houser, but not sure he’d take that at the moment as he could be leaving some serious money on the table by not reaching free agency.

I don’t hate it. There should be plenty of playing time after the trade deadline an I’d much rather give this dude those ABs than Fletcher or DeLoach.

This sucks…Baldwin was looking pretty as of late

It won’t improve the trade return…Robert has tanked his value unfortunately. I fully agree with you there. But this season is very odd for him and I actually believe he will join another org and they will find a way to right the ship. The physical talent is all still there and it really sucks we’re going to have little show for him when this trade deadline is all said and done.

Can’t lose a trade if you get rid of a player you didn’t plan on using again and didn’t take on any money. Civale isn’t good but Vaughn was valueless to us.

Lol…let’s just completely ignore position, defense, and handedness. If you think a 108 wRC+ against same side pitching is somehow mediocre for a gold glove caliber CF then you’re either being purposely ignorant or complaining just to complain. As for the “why exclude his current season”, his current season against RHP is a massive outlier and he’s been productive against them historically. If you are an opposing GM looking at acquiring him, you have to decide if this is a start of a new trend or a one-time blurb that can be fixed. Packaging it all together and saying “see he’s always been bat against RHP” is both untrue and lazy analysis.

108 wRC+ against RHP in 1,512 PA’s prior to this season isn’t what I’d call mediocre, just not nearly as good as his production against LHP.

Lol…that’s how I felt last year. Not eager to repeat the experience.

Meidroth is a rookie adjusting to the league who is also going through a bad BABIP stretch at the moment. If you expected no bumps in the road, I don’t know what to tell you…it’s all part of the development process.

Might need to package a couple like that together and hope you can get one pretty decent prospect and some lottery tickets.

If Sosa could just have the slightest amount of plate discipline, he’d could be a very useful bat. Sucks he hasn’t made any real progress in that area this year, but he’s still young enough for that to change.

I’m definitely not against it, but would prefer getting a real prospect if we could.

Not yet, but sounds like should eligible soon. Regardless, I’m playing both Robert and Baldwin nearly everyday in the OF once he is back. Taylor can ride pine for all I care.

He’s got an extra year of team control I believe, so you don’t have him to move him technically. If we can’t get more than a minor league relief, then he’s probably worth holding onto as I don’t believe it’s going to be a deep free agent market for OFs.

Isn’t Meidroth still out there? They are certainly not going to bench him if healthy.

Unfortunately I was an XL back then from all the drinking in my youth and remain an XL now from just being old…lol.

Rocking my Jenks jersey today. Hard to believe it’s 20 years old.

Sweep these fucks. Would be great to see Smith get back on track after a rough June.

It’s 100% a parody or at minimum there are posts purposely being made to get a rise out of people. For years I have envisioned there is some trolling forum on the dark web and that Greg is basically a legend there just laughing at getting away with this act for so long. That or he is just a completely uniformed poster out of Lawrence, KS. Could be either option I guess…lol.

I’m an optimist, but no way is this thing close to a competitive lineup. What we are seeing is how much better a lineup can feel when you have close to league average hitters in most spots. Unfortunately there are still multiple holes and we are completely lacking in impact and power, which there aren’t obvious solves for in the minors after Braden. This is going to come down to spending some money if they really want to hurry this rebuild up. If we went out and added Alonso and Bellinger this offseason, I think we could see the makings of a competitive lineup by 2027: Meidroth, 2B C. Montgomery, SS* Bellinger, LF* Alonso, 1B B. Montgomery, RF# Teel, CA/DH* Quero, DH/CA Vargas, 3B Baldwin, CF#

Devastating news. I was such a Jenks fan that I custom made a jersey in 2005 when he was first called up. He will always and forever be a favorite of mine. RIP brother.

The good news (theoretically) is that 3/8 of them are coming off TJS and should (hopefully) have that risk behind them for a while. And three others have had TJS in the not too distant past and should (hopefully) have that risk behind them for the near-term. The problem is Schultz one of the two hasn’t had the surgery yet.

I think there is a chance they eat a ton of money and dump him.
