It’s crazy that in the 70s you could just videotape people doing something in one take in terrible lighting, have it look bad, and just say: “this is fine.

GREEDY Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Romy in RF again. Man, they could have really used Adam Duvall if they were going to go with a platoon. Super frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Don't Stop Now Boys! Let's kick the Giants hard today and win this series and keep the momentum going? You guys need to be dominant at home this year and have a well above 500 record at home this season and not the horrible under 500 record you had last year at home.

Man, they could have really used Adam Duvall if they were going to go with a platoon. Super frustrating. Agreed. However, they weren't going to pay over $7M (how much he's getting from Boston) for a backup/weak side platoon OF. Plus, he gets to play every day there. Can't really blame them there. Stay hot, Romy. Edited April 6, 2023 by Bob Sacamano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay hot, Romy. I think that is precisely the move a major market club in their window makes. The savings in starting Colas (barring a ROY) in Charlotte alone would have helped pay the bill. I think the Sox were "in" on him but using the same strategy they used on Elvis. If anyone came along with a real bid they weren't going to get him. Major miss for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how much more do they need to spend over Boston to pull him in over having a starting CF job that he can use to try to get a multi-year/more money after this year? $2M? 3M? Possibly $9-10M for a 4th OF seems pricey for this team. Emphasis on the bolded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 That lineup strikes fear in any MLB organization! Somehow, it'll probably score 7 runs or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 So the guy used essentially the same lineup to start the season and the whining for using subs blows up. Starters should get all 3 in Pittsburgh. Start season with 10 games in 11 days.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
