Can we be honest about Venable being a bad manager yet?

Yeah, this game I'm actually not going to bother watching. Feels like it's already lost.

We can't afford Martin to not be pitching like an ace the rest of the season.

Come on man. That's wasn't even hard to catch. Draft Lackey!

What are they supposed to do, move Chase Meidroth off the cleanup spot? That's crazy talk.

I wonder if he's making that decision or if it's coming from upstairs.

It's such an awesome jersey. I've been waiting for them to bring them back so I can buy one, but they haven't for a while. I remember one of the Abreu years they brought them back. It was about 8 years ago or so?

Hah, totally forgot about him. The guy was definitely a beast with the glove. Totally worthless with a bat. Luckily it looks like Carlson has some potential with the bat. He's showing absolutely no power currently (0 HR in 39 games) but he's walking a decent amount. 15.3% BB% and a .386 OBP.

Yeah most likely. I do like the idea of an Andrelton Simmons-type defender at SS with Carlson though. Who's the last legit SS prospect with a 70 field and 70 arm? We're stacked at the position and will likely draft a SS, so I'm guessing he gets traded as well.

I really love the jerseys from 1967-1969. They're great looking IMO. I'm surprised we don't see them more. We see 83 all the time.

Bannister has been really disappointing. I feel like he came with a lot of hype as well.

Who is a better in-game manager - Grif or Venable?

Sandlin. He's a better option than Schultz currently IMO. Let's see how Sandlin looks when he gets a longer leash. He's definitely got the stuff to be good. Needs to improve his command.

The best piece in a trade for a guy like Cease needs to have more upside. How many great starting pitchers in the current MLB sit at 91 MPH? Logan Webb? Davis Martin throws a tad harder. There's barely any pitchers who are great at that velocity. It was just a terrible trade. No need to sugarcoat it.

Come on West, we don't have to act like every move the team makes is a stroke of genius.

I'm not totally out on him. He clearly needs more work in the minors though. Send him down for Sandlin.

Still watching? I'm surprised.

Looks safe to me

Ouch.

Crazy having the main piece in the Cease trade being a starter that throws 91 mph. What were they thinking?

Agreed. His decisions are baffling at times.

You turn on the X-Files yet? Turn this crap off already.

Chase Meidroth - cleanup hitter

You and I both know this game is over.

Not feeling great about this one. Hopefully Schultz turns it around, but I think this might be a lopsided game.
