I've read on other boards that they're having to teach Donaldson how to run....WTF?

It's a misleading headline. They're teaching him a running technique that is supposed to be easier on his calf muscles. If it works, it's good. His calves have been what has caused his injury issues.

That's a little more comforting

Homegrown talent is great, but we're not winning in 95 if we don't have Maddux and McGriff.

We're good enough to be a playoff team, it'll be tough, but we can do it, but we're gonna have to add pieces from outside the organization to win it all.

The Astros don't win without Verlander.

i want to make a Duvall joke so bad right here, but i think i'll pass

He homered today. So did Tyler Flowers. Can't really rip on two of our favorite punching bags today.

Hell, Newcomb even went 3 scoreless and only walked one.

I think the Filthies are gonna be a lot like our 2013-2014 teams offensively. When they are hitting HRs they will be good but when they arent they will suck. Difference between our 2013 team and them is we had an elite Bullpen that year and they dont IMO.

Duvall has another homer.

He has more extra base hits in today's ST game than he did in his 53 ABs with us last season.

Another difference is their park is hitter friendly, the Ted was not it was more fair.

Supposedly us, the nats and the twins are talking with Kimbrel. We're offering a shorter deal (because of course we are)

I think if everyone is healthy and we add Kimbrel then we'd easily have the BP in the east and it'd make me feel a lot better about our ability to shut games down late.

Tulo, Judge, Stanton, Andujar, Sanchez, Torres, Lemahieu.

Kid is legit and could end up as the 5th starter.

Oh, I have no doubt, & I'd love to see him or pretty much anyone else with a pulse in the rotation instead of Gopher Teheran.
