I dont think you understand what the word hypocrite means. Or respect. Or comparing. Or lying. Cease and desist? You been watching too many police procedurals.
ATP I'm just weary of your hypocrisy and now your cop outs, rube, so I'll tell you what, I'm gonna go ahead and just cap it off like this with you and see if you know what this means. Now, you said you like the old Winslow better. Well, speaking on behalf of the old Winslow and the present, that's 2 asses you can kiss. And if I'm in a game thread when Puig does some stupid shit, and I grill him for it...please tap me on the shoulder and nag me over it some more so I can tell you again.
Yeah, I did the same today...got up to 65..flying in my Focus, bro. All the windows open..far out. Had to open em. No A/C.
In case you missed it we could have used who could generate a couple of those worthless RBI things the last couple games. But I'm sure you'll have some witty retort.
Inspirational... If they get rid of Fien AND Hatcher, I elevate them to validictorian. And hall monitors.
I'll make a semi-bold prediction that on August 2nd, Fien and Hatcher won't be on the active roster. Just seems so easy to upgrade those two spots. Don't even need elite relievers but if you get two nice bullpen pieces (a LOOGY and a solid righty) then the bullpen takes a huge step forward. Obviously I want an elite reliever but, given that many won't be available just saying that two nice ones will do the trick as well
Bullpens are so weird. Hatcher was basically our 2nd best option out of the pen entering the NLDS last year. I know that's not saying much, but it seemed like he had turned a corner and was pretty reliable. Now he's awful again and one of our worst options .
We seem to go after toolsy guys who aren't necessarily good, but can do some things well. So inconsistency is the result. Even Joc, Trayce, Puig, and Grandal sort of fit that type as position players. All of them do things well that help the team, but aren't all that great of ballplayers, imo. Seager, Turner, Howie and a younger Utley/ Gonzalez are the only real baseball players on this team. Sounds harsh, and I'm probably off base. But that's how I feel.
Well, so far, what you have written, bears out. One could make a good argument for all of that. I think Grandal is very cyclical, and rakes for a very short time, then reverts back to an easy out, like now. If he goes crazy one minute, then a zero the next, can it be his injuries. I guess it's his framing, because overall defensively, he's fair to middling. Joc definitely has a chance to be an all around real bb player, though, in the future, imo.
I do, you do and everyone else who is sick of nearly 30 years of futility does. We can't be blinded by a week of decent games when they so quickly revert to sucking and making scrubs look like Cy Young reincarnated. We needed an outfielder with a bat and they trot out Zach fucking Walters ??? ...and to answer your question in its original context. No one...
What I'm saying is, though they may be off the roster on 8/2, they could very well be right back on the expanded roster on 9/2.
