Extensions can sometime be a problem.
May find out what Woody is made of.

There comes a point that you have to be able to realize that sunk costs are just that. Contract size and length shouldn't be a huge factor when it comes to roster and lineup decisions. If they do become deciding factors then you aren't playing to win as much as you are to keep certain players happy. Keeping baseball politics out of the decision making process can help in the standings when the standings actually become important.

Maybe there’s more to it then this.

Elvis is the leader of the team now and he’s been a fan favorite for awhile now.

The front office could think that by keeping odor, they would help their chances of keeping Elvis because Elvis and odor are such good buddies.

I’m just trying to brainstorm. Giving odor the contract was a baffling move to say the least.

Santana is hitting .350

He’s not clearing waivers. Like I said earlier in the thread, he was also one of our best hitters in spring training.

 

[scotsman1948]

tuned in the game at the start of the 2nd and the Indians team in the movie "Major League jumped into my mind. I found myself saying the same thing that the guy in bar said "who the hell are these guys?"

 

[WastinSomeTime]

One decision that will not be that hard is sending Wisdom down.

 

[Nightcrawler]

We just can’t get these guys out

They always put up big rallies against us.

No matter if it’s khris Davis or some freaking scrub.



Can we just forfeit and go on to Seattle please?

Smyly and Volquez injured

 

[DT LUNA]

Long Ball Chavez at it again.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Gallo has now struck out looking in 3 consecutive plate appearances in which the called third strike was a ball. Unbelievable

 

[Duane1952]

Smyly and Chavez need to be DFA'D.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Chavez blows

Shouldn’t have brought him back.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I see old Profar has been doing damage today.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Nothing seems to go right in Oakland for your Texas Rangers.

 

[Duane1952]

Maz starting to heat up.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Smyly and Volquez injured

Should’ve planned for it and brought in extra pitchers who could start / do long relief in the mean time.

That’s on the front office.

No, quit signing injured pitchers.

 

[Duane1952]

Chavez blows

So does Wisdom.

 

[jta4437]

Chavez blows

Shouldn’t have brought him back.

Using that hindsight again, no one thought it was a bad move at the time
