That's almost 70 mil a year, or 25% of the payroll basically being flushed down the toilet. I wonder if Middleton is concerned about this or does he just have his head stuck in the sand. Other than using Middleton's checkbook, what does this guy do well? I'll give him kudos on the Luzardo trade. What else? The bullpen has always been an arm short it seems and left field/ center field continue to be a major blackhole. Sure, let's keep running it back.I’d add their farm system is top heavy but they really haven’t gotten better at having more than like 1-2 MLB prospects ready every couple of years.

April 28, 20251 yr Just now, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:The fact Rojas can’t bunt is amazing.Yep. I would have him bunting even with 2 strikes. If he strikes out, it's better than hitting into a double play. That would require Thomson to use some brain cells though.

That would require Thomson to use some brain cells though.The fact is he isn’t a MLB hitter. We’ve known this. It continues to go back to Dombrowski not just admitting his mistake with marsh and just going out and solving the CF issue. Instead keeps trying marsh when he’s a failed experiment. Even if marsh was an everyday OF it’s not in CF. He is a LF
April 28, 20251 yr Thank the lord Romano actually pitched well today.Love Harper but he’s been brutal for most of this road trip. Was 2-23 with 2 RBI and 8Ks
April 28, 20251 yr Just now, vsptroops said:Nice series win. Offense is still concerning though.It’s going to be a concern until they get a legit CF and they also likely need another power bat.

April 28, 20251 yr So i guess we are supposed to buy that Romano was tipping his pitches and everything is good now

April 28, 20251 yr They won a series on the road against a very good team, Nola looked good and the bullpen including Romano didn't give up any runs yesterday. Got to get the offense rolling somehow now.

Also a new hitting coach.

April 28, 20251 yr 13 minutes ago, John Blutarski said:Agreed.I’m guessing if they fall short of the nlcs this year that long is gone. I still think Thomson would be back. I love schwarber but frankly i think someone is gonna give him a 5 year deal. I don’t want to be tied to schwarber after 3 years. Anything after that is risking him declining for two years. Similarly to not wanting Nola to get 7 and just 4-5
April 29, 20251 yr It is time to clean house. Stott being the only hitter untouchable. Sanchez stays. Every other mook can be cleaned out for whatever.Have a true fire sale.... one that can be seen from orbit
April 29, 20251 yr I would move them all and start bringing up the minors players we all have been waiting for and baptize them by fire.... but let them bond and grow together as a core.
April 29, 20251 yr Clean house on management and coaching. They are as just to blame as the players. The grand Harper design has failed...... Move on already.This current team might make it back to the playoffs..... but they cant win it all.... mentally they dont have it....... skill wise either.
