    We are watching the absolute reasons why no matter how far we get, whether it be NLDS, NLCS, or WS, we will fail like we always do. The bullpen.
    Unless it looks a whole lot different.
    A gaping, bleeding wound.
    The killer.

    Ferguson is like Austin Barnes. It is completely inexplicable that either have spent time on a Major League Baseball field. Both are so incredibly outmatched by their competition. They are incapable of succeeding. They do not possess the talent nor mental capacity to play this game at the highest level.

    Austin Barnes is like a 13 year old Pony player taking an at-bat against the best pitcher on the varsity high school team. Ferguson is like the right fielder being brought in to pitch and looking terrified. Complete hacks

    As excited as I am about the prospect of Corey Seager turning things around, I'm still seeing inconsistent and awkward swings. Even on the home run, his top hand came off the bat in an unintentional way. He is just not able to repeat his swing anymore. I know that seems petty to complain, considering he hit a HR...but I'm just not seeing it

    They both had success early in their careers, which bought them some extra sand in their hourglass, but they're pretty much down to their last few grains now.

    That's why I'm not upset that they didn't sell the farm for third-rate relievers last month.

    Been to all of those except Tampa. Cleveland is an underrated city tbh.

    I'm guessing there are a lot of pubs, lofts, gluten free yogurt bars, and art exhibits converted from old warehouses there...?

    dodgers signed him for when they use him as a lure to a team who wants to shed a contract twice as bad.
    just another tool in the shed

    Austin Barnes, yes. He had a 2017 for the ages, placing perennial 5-6 WAR catcher Grandal to the bench.

    But I'm not remembering Ferguson ever being good. Then again, I only remember the negative:D

    Better hope Hill and Maeda have seamless transitions to the pen, Urias holds up, a rookie like Gonsolin or May can handle the load and pressure, and 2 other guys step up.

    They're all on the Dodgers already. Not enough room. But I'd squeeze another one in straight up for that guy Joc Pederson.
    Be worth it.
