Why any manager worth his stones would want to work for Abramovich is beyond me. DiMatteo wins the CL and gets sacked.He's gone through something like 8 managers in 8 years. The latest rumor is that...
Yep, Pedro can't recognize a strike to save his life. It's like he decides that he is going to swing at a pitch no matter where it is. Jay Bell hasn't taught them how to lay off a bad pitch and make...
I think the pitching staff is going to be in flux all year long. With the current injuries (Karstens, Liriano and Morton) the talent in AAA waiting to come up and the question marks on the opening...
I don't have as pessimistic view of the team that you have, but i'm also not planning on watching any post season baseball at PNC this year. IF A.J. and Wandy can be winning pitchers and the other 3...
I'm opposed to it on many fronts. First and foremost, long and belly putters have been in use on all the major tours for over 30 years, and NOW it's a problem? 3 of the last 5 major championships...
I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about the proposed ban on "anchoring" the putter. I'm opposed to it, and I'll explain my reasons after I hear from a few more of you.
Someone (McDonald,Liriano,Locke or McPherson) will be in the pen as of June 1st when Gerrit Cole comes up from Indy. By September, Taillon will be joining the rotation.
I'm fine with all the deals the Bucs made today. A lot of people are overvaluing Lincoln. Yes, he seems to have found a home in the bullpen and has been effective these last few months, but so was...
The AAA pitcher I would bring up is Rudy Owens. If he has a few good starts, you've showcased him and might return a better bat in a trade. Except for last year he's been consistently solid in the...
I'm all for the Bucs going after a bat that they can control for a few years, but no stretch run rental. And don't give up any of your top tier prospects( Cole, Taillon, Heredia, Bell, Marte, Appel)....
My preferred picks at 24, in this order--Hightower, Glenn, Poe. Hightower has the right frame of mind to be a beast, Glenn would be a good technician with no mean streak, and Poe just looks like a...
He gave us a little tease yesterday that maybe it's a few days too soon to give up on him. 3 hits in the double header, 2 of them line drive home runs. Maybe he's finally pulling his head out of his...
No one really knows. His whole career in the Bucs organization, he has never been a high BA guy, but he always hit around .270 with serious power. He can't seem to work an AB; his pitch recognition...
A deal with this framework (6 yrs, approximately 51 million) has been the talk since the whole idea came up. If Cutch and his people thought that was way too low, I'm sure they...
I stand corrected on JMac. He led the team in K's last season. There is also talk that he could be the one going to the pen instead of either Karstens or Correia. I'd rather have him in the rotation...
I titled this year's thread Sending A Message because how the front office handles the McCutchen contract situation is going to send a message to the fans, the current prospects in the organization...
I'm sorry to say I must agree. Losing 8 straight, so far, pretty much tells you that last year's 105 loss team is back with a vengeance. Oh well, it was fun to dream while it lasted.
