Someone needs to make some noise about this.

Sorry, but there is no such thing as a wide strike zone! Nor is there a low or high one! There is a strike zone for each player and 'conceptually' this will never change. But due to the calling of balls/strikes by humans with personal habits or biases, we have been conditioned to accepted this BS since we were all knee high. It's past time IMO for the calling of the strike zone by the great machine. And let's get rid of Angel Hernandez while we're at it.

All in on Angel's termenation

Yes that is a new Josh Smith.

Atta boy, Josh!

Angel's 'termination.' Very interesting choice of words there Mr. DT. ha ha ha

Tough at bat for Duran, but speaking of Duran…Smith is starting to make me believe Duran is expendable.

Was thinking the same thing. He and Taveras would make an interesting pkg.

 

[DT LUNA]

How about some runs offense.

I would like to keep Duran. He can play 7 positions in a pinch. That makes him a valuable bench player. With how often both Jung and Seager get hurt, Duran could come in handy over the next few years.

Winn is a much, much better option than Pruitt. He is one of our better relievers.

He may end up being a great 8th inning guy this year with an occasional save opportunity.

I think he would be fine on the bench. He can play multiple positions if needed.

Didn't see your post. But as you can see I agree with you.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Seager is really struggling. I will be glad when he comes out of it and he will eventually.

Wow! Nice to see Winn pitching so well.
