Kyyle23 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Caulfield stop trying to make burger happen. It's not happening.

Gotta get Leury his AB’s 🤦♂️ Wanting to get all the lefties in the lineup, but I'd rather Mercedes sit than Madrigal. Move Leury to LF and let Lamb DH.

He needs to be extended. Lynn definitely needs to be extended. He is not even close to be washed up at 34. Plus we gave up Dane Dunning to get Lynn. I know Dunning has been inconsistent this year for Texas, but hindsight is 20/20. At the time of the trade, Dunning was a hot pitching prospect and that's why Texas gave us Lynn. It's a dangerous move in giving up future good prospects for rental players, unless you plan on making a major effort in resigning them. Most importantly Hahn needs to resign Lynn because going forward next year, there are still question marks in our rotation with Cease, Rondon and Keuchel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now covered with padding, and they make no mention of it in the group literature they send out. I guess we will see once the state gets back to Stage 5.

It is not 100%. Even if you one of the 6% who can still get it, the symptoms are supposed to be very muted compared to a vaccine-less person.

His being one of the 6% would nonetheless qualify as "weird." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not hit the cheese. 87.6 86.4 92.2 84.5 84.9 47.1 Sox machine is straight garbage, a fart that exists to smell itself as it wafts in the stale Jim Margalus air. Nobody consistently hits fastballs above 94 mph hard. That's why velocity is king. Yoan Moncada doesn't make an out 42% of the time. If we had a team full of Yoan's we'd score 8 runs a game on average. Ah, I see this is about Yermin? Same thing applies really. Fuck Sox Machine I can't stand those guys, a bunch of haters. edit: lol, Yermin is +7.4 runs this year on fastballs. That's excellent. That is classic Jim right there. Notices something completely out of context and runs with it like he's writing the next Moneyball script. He couldn't even be bothered to go to FG and check Yermin's run values.
