You get your wish, but you'll be getting more Jake Lamb.

Either you have no idea how any organization/government works on this planet or you're presenting the dumbest strawman argument that you've given yet. Considering you spent half a decade anointing Dayton Moore the demigod of baseball, I'm going with the L. Frank Baum route.

"Doug Laumann took Fulmer..." "JR's insistence on getting cash considerations is why they traded Tatis..." He's the fucking GM. Some scout didn't magically overrule him when it came to getting Yermin.

...and yet, he signed Robert, took Yermin, and built the current team that we're all excited about, all while dealing with JR's pocketbook.

That would, for the most part, be fine. There is of course a line that can always be crossed as language escalates.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is the most famous example, but yes.

Dear lord.

I'm more appalled that it seems like Vaughn won't be hitting for Leury either.

Celebrates in Kopech, Moncada, Eloy, and Giolito.

That's such a good idea.

Lmao, this is my favorite complaint. "They want everything to be correct." Also, instant replay isn't instant gratification. It slows the game down and takes time to review to ensure the game is being called correctly. Sounds like you just enjoy bad baseball.

Eh, didn't notice the video was in the tweet. C'est la vie.

All of Tatis' homers have come against the Tigers, so they don't count.

Pretty sure Derrick Rose's first injury was he cut itself with a knife that he cut an apple with. Shit happens.

@sin city sox fan, you already have an active Yermin troll thread.

They're even smaller sample sizes, but yes, they are. We're all disappointed in Eloy. But you're handwaving a guy striking out 37% of time, with 7 errors in 11 games, a non-contact injury that we know will get worse the longer he puts off surgery (the first year into a $340M contract) and your argument is we don't know how badly the shoulder is affecting him (even though it should be incredibly alarming), or the pressure of that massive deal? But don't worry, he's contributing on the base paths with ... 2 stolen bases and 1 caught stealing. The point is, if we're freaking out about Moncada, then Padres fans need to be burning down Petco Park about Tatis.

Sweet. Baby. Jesus.

This link was Caulfield bait and it worked.

Moncada's in great company: Each MLB team's biggest 2021 disappointment. Others on the list: Tatis, Quintana, Pederson, Gleyber, Castillo, Plesac, Conforto Castillo, Quintana, Pederson, Plesac, and pre-Cohen Conforto were popular acquisition targets on this board this offseason. Tatis, well, yeah. Gleyber seems worth mentioning as someone similar to Moncada. I think we can all chill, because as far as I'm aware, none of them had COVID. We don't know if Moncada's a COVID-long hauler yet. If he is, that's real fucking bad. If he isn't, which would be my guess since he's still playing fine at 3B, then he's just in an early season slump like all the aforementioned dudes.

Abreu plays the next game in full blown farmer regalia.

I understand the joke, but even if Eloy is miraculously healthy, for the love of god do not play him in the game anywhere but DH. He'd go for an easy fly ball in left and we'd lose him in the Iowa cornfields for at least two weeks.

Swooning would be a tame reaction to seeing a man descend from heaven.

Dane Dunning throws a complete game, losing after giving up only 1-hit. The only hit being a Nick Madrigal home run.

I really wish they hadn't won the first Cleveland game and the Celtics game. Flip those and they're only a game behind Cleveland for the 6 spot in the lottery, which dramatically improves their top 4 chances. Right now, they're 3 games behind. I also really fucking hate that we're talking about this.
