@saddles what was behind the uniforms last night?
I am not up to speed on those. I know this is some kind of special weekend across baseball, but I never read anything about why it is or what it is all about.

Yes and Santana could’ve easily slid over to 1st or 2nd. We also have forsythe.

Santana and forsythe were outplaying both Guzman and Odor at the time. Calhoun was hitting better than both Guzman and Odor as well.
I can agree they were outplaying them. I like what Santana is doing but neither are that great on defense and I sure do not want them as our 1b for the future or our corner infielders. If one of them plays the IF then I would of course choose Santana. I was for Odor getting his act together because we had no one on the horizon at 2b until Solak came about so now I am good with him taking the position away. Guzman needs time to figure it out and be our 1b and his average keeps climbing at Nashville. This is about the future.
FYI - Verdugo and Calhoun have about the same numbers overall in every way with Calhoun having just 2 more HRs. But Verdugo has 150 more ABs.

Verdugo is probably a lot better on defense tho.

I know that we probably won't do much during the off-season but what do you think about going for Gerrit Cole? That would really be a positive way to open the new park

Cole would be nice but may be too expensive. They almost have to make some trades. Just to many needs to fill and do nothing.

He would be nice. He is 28 so should have some years left and has shown himself well in the AL. But ownership would have to open up their pockets. If you are going to spend money it might as well be on a top of the line pitcher.

Just what we need
Not for a few years. I think he is still 16 years old. By that time, most of our present OF will either be out of baseball or will have left in free agency.

Lol, not at all. Did I stumble upon something?


The song that replaced country rap Old town road quotes the line ----well- Duhhhhhh. I am definitely not a pop fan but have a 13 year old daughter so go figure
