October 26, 20232 yr they have to make some decisions if jt and nick are going to be what they are, might as well, get rid of them and fix the bullpen which we need a legit closer, this wouldnt be a popular idea but get some stopgap via trade or fa pitchers depending on if our youth pitchers is ready, i wouldnt throw money at nola, too inconsistent. if i learned anything from the dbacks, we have to focus on the pitching in this offseason and try to grind these teams out because outhitting them will not win championships.
October 26, 20232 yr I like the starting 8..... jt is a concern due to age and the position. All pitching is a concern. We do not need a FA in the field..... just FA arms.

How are they going to get rid of underperforming superstars with guaranteed contracts? I’m not seeing it…

NC I could see being traded to an offensive needy team. He has 3/60 left on his contract so it's not a horrible contract to take on. Did his play in the NLCS decrease his value? Who knows how other GM's look at things like that.
October 27, 20232 yr All of them started trying to hit HRs.... this is why I was saying they need a manager that is in charge..... not a players friend. A guy in charge would get them to just freaking hit it and keep the line moving.....just hit and take the RBIs anyway you can.

For most of games 6 and 7, most of them could have stood up there without swinging even once and would have gotten a walk.

He hit .260 in the series and only one game he didn’t have a hit. Add on for the season against the dbacks he hit 15-47 (.319) in 14 games against them with 3 HRs and 12 RBIs

Right..... no accountability .... when you have a players manager. Dbacks pitchers knew these guys would swing at stuff in the next zip code. A strong manager would have stopped that garbage in April.

I said the exact same thing....and after game 6....you'd think they would have absolutely learned and said I'm not swinging at that crap, let's get a ton of baserunners on until they start pitching to us. I mean Jesus did they crap the bed.

December 9, 20231 yr Harper wants an extension, which I thought was stupid until I saw what Ohtani is getting.

December 9, 20231 yr Bobby Bonilla 2.0 , I hope the dodgers and their **** fans endure decades of pain
December 10, 20231 yr They just screwed all of baseball. Free agent prices after that are going to be insane
December 10, 20231 yr If there wasn’t another reason to hate the dodgers that much more than I already do, they go and do something like this. I hope they fail miserably for the next decade.
December 10, 20231 yr Author For a DH who might never pitch again because he needs a 2nd Tommy John surgery.
