Johan's missing something on his fastball. He was very pedestrian tonight, I don't think Jerry should have sent him in for the 8th. I have the text to prove it

We don't need another light hitting .270 hitter who doesn't have a defined position.

I think the NFL just found out it was a false account this was poster under.

They talked about that bullshit for 15 minutes. And that might top the list of dumbest things I've ever heard during a game. A flawless player in a game where getting a hit 3 out of 10 times gets you in the HOF?

I was pissed too but Jerry said the next day if he brought in a righty Garret would have pinch hit for Diaz. So it was a tougher call then we think.

Cabrera is a lost cause IMO. He's the perfect example of why there's too many teams and not enough pitchers in the majors.

In terms of trading chips. I don't really want to give up too much

the only way i want him is if we buy really low on him.

I don't mean to rush to conlusions but it's pretty clear how Citi Field is gonna play out. Our offensive guys are gonna have to be line drive hitters, and speed will be imperative. At least it's an attractive spot for an FA pitcher. Although I'd like to start developing some of our own guys for a change.

I'm starting to think it's about time to re-build this team. Delgado can't really field, contract year, an AL team would give up some guys for him. We're just gonna continue to waste the prime of the best two players and pitcher in decades if we don't make big changes.

:brooding:

Talks aren't dead at all. Each team knows they have time to get more of what they want in the deal. But in the end they'll find a middle ground. We're gonna get him.

I feel the same way as you jim. My expectations weren't too high but they're playing the most boring games this year and it's really been tough to get into them. I miss football.

Count me in on that one. That'd probably be pending F-Mart's progression this year too.

Who cares. The season is so long anyway all it takes is one hot streak for everyone to get back on our bandwagon.

He's doing pretty good in Texas. And at least he's played OF in the last 2 years.

Putting him at leadoff was a dumb move by Acta. I know the Nats such but Guzman is a capable lead off hitter and Milledge has very little leadoff characteristics in him. If you want him at the top, at least put him at 2.

It'd be nice if those guys could research fly balls that would've been homers in citi but weren't in Shea. Might be asking too much though

Lindstrom looks pretty shaky as a closer. I would have him on board as an 8th inning guy or a smaller role, but I'll take Putz over him. Why couldn't we sign Andruw Jones over sheff?

When we had Plax that wasn't really the case. Our offense for the most part was in rhythm, racking up running yards, and was productive enough through the air. He's not the brightest guy but he was doing fine when all our key guys were healthy and the wind wasn't howling. With that said he does have to re-prove himself again with last year's collapse.

If Ollie does this for 2-3 more starts I say we send him down to the minors. He's gotta get his shit together

There was absolutely no consistency with the strike zone. For both sides. Pitches on the outside corner were a strike one inning, then were a ball the next.

No doubt it's nice to get into a groove early with hitting but these situations just aren't considered "clutch" IMO. I remember on opening day last year our situational hitting looked pretty good. We all saw how that turned out as the year ended. If anything, I was pleased with how deep our batters were taking counts. They showed a good eye at the plate. It's just a matter of getting a hold of a pitch.

No pass for shitty weather? In early April there's no such thing as clutch ABs.
