  1. So how long are they going to continue the Gus charade before they finally realize he's hot garbage behind the dish? Even with ABS helping guide him as a catcher, he's still been absolutely terrible defensively.
  2. Yeah, no, I'm not buying the excuse of cold weather over their poor play. And yes, I also very much didn't like it when the Dolphins & Tua pulled this same dumb excuse. 29 other teams have to play under the same conditions, and about half of them also regularly have home games played in warm weather. They need to stop making excuses and git gud.
  3. I get it. The Marlins didn't show up at all. But does that mean y'all aren't showing up either? 🤣 I'm kidding. Um, yeah. Xavier Edwards hit a 1-out triple in the first inning. Agustin Ramirez makes an unproductive out by striking out looking. (Looking? Really? SWING THE BAT. You have a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs!!) And the next batter couldn't cash in a single to get the run home. That set the tone for basically the rest of the game.
  4. I have more faith in Max Meyer putting it together than Jacob Berry. And that's saying a lot because Max Meyer isn't impressing me.
  5. Is it too early to call Max Meyer a bust? It probably is, but parts of 5 years and only having 28 games and 142 innings, and having a FIP at 5.13 with a 0.3 fWAR is incredibly underwhelming results for a guy who was drafted 3rd overall, and doesn't particularly inspire confidence about his future. Maybe the COVID pandemic absolutely screwed with the drafting process. But, I don't know. The baseball executive geniuses who chose Max Meyer as 3rd overall are the same guys that drafted JJ Bleday, Khalil Watson, Jacob Berry, and Noble Meyer with their first round selection... and well, let's just say those haven't panned out. (It's a little early on Noble Meyer but the early returns are not looking good right now.)
  6. I mean, really, what other options do they have? They couldn't sign a 1B free agent (Morel doesn't count, I mean a REAL 1B), Griffin Conine's cannon arm and solid outfield defense is being wasted at 1B, and the only other option to convert is Agustin Ramirez and they're too stubborn to admit he's not a catcher at the major league level. Maybe they can roll the tires on DLS. Honestly, that's probably the best case scenario. Make him prove himself. If he fails to do so, I guess Stowers is the backup plan.
  7. We brought Austin Slater to (supposedly) hit left-handed pitching. What does he do for us? -12 wRC+. We have a surplus of outfield talent in the farm system. Why waste money on someone who we knew right from the start was washed up? Just bring a guy from the farm system under the league minimum. Or, better yet, why not play the hot hand? Put your confidence in Owen Caissie. He's been our best bat by far and you're holding him back by sitting him against lefties.
  8. If you're a longball prone pitcher, giving up 3 BBs is too many. Let alone 6! Eury needs to get that control in check. He got off easy today because the Yankees couldn't capitalize. He won't be so lucky next time he does this.
  9. They DFAed Victor Mesa Jr for Garrett Acton... only to DFA Acton literally 2 months later. I get that Victor Mesa Jr was buried on the depth chart after several in-season and offseason trades, but interactions like this make me wonder why they even bothered picking up Acton in the first place.
  10. Yankees win 2 of 3. Jazz is MVP because former marlins love raking against us. Eury Perez is the only reason I'm not considering the Yankees sweepng us.
  11. I like that we are 1st in the NL East right now. However, we have a paper-soft schedule to begin the year and Braves/Mets haven't caught fire yet. As much fun as I'm having watching these games, I know that the Yankees are going to smack us right back to reality soon enough. But it was fun dogpiling on two of the worst teams in baseball.
  12. On the 1-2 pitch that Paddack allowed the grand slam on, I can't help but notice Hicks was setup up high, indicating that he's expecting a fastball. He got a changeup. Was there a miscommunication between Paddack and Hicks? Just by the way he tried to catch the pitch, it looked as though it wasn't the pitch he was expecting to receive.
  13. I want to say Owen Caissie is lookiing like the real deal, but it's literally just 2 games. I gotta cool my jets, lol.
  14. Plug any guy from the AAA roster, and they'll do exactly what Austin Slater brings to the table. It's an unnecessary signing, and a waste of money.
  15. I don't get it either. Surely, some of the guys they have in AAA couldn't be that much worse than wasting $1 million on literal filler. At that point why not just pocket that money and play someone from AAA for league minimum? It's such an inefficient use of resources and as a fan of a cash-strapped team it's frustrating to witness.
