DFA?

 

[Sandisfan]

Not a good start 2 runs in the 1st by the Yanks. Then Flowers comes though with Ramos on base to Tie it up. This team has been good when behind to start the season. Have a Good feeling about this team so far.
Can change quickly but looks like a solid team.

 

[tzill]

The team is solid. So far a decent game. No batdouchery, minimal moundshattery. We're in it.

 

[Sandisfan]

I'm behind my two innings fast forwarding the Yanks at bats.

Seems too soon. I'd wait until ASB to start serious complaints about his play but until mid May to be concerned.

Yeah, about this. Changing teams can be very chaotic. Give the guy a break for a bit. No real reason to think he will bomb this bad this early. It is just a funk. Hit attitude alone, though, has been earning his paychecks, so I am happy so far.

 

[tzill]

Whelp, mound fully shat. Get 'em tomorrow.

Very good defense at an important position too. But obviously the bat needs to be better same as Wade

 

[tzill]

So tomorrow is Spyder v. Rodon.

We should take this series.

Thanks a lot jinxie LOL

We haven’t ever won a regular season series with them in either location. We might win tomorrow but “should” is silly

 

[maxrandomness]

looks like the team is off to a good start
Losing a series to the lousy reds at home kind of sucked though
Watched my first game today
Yanks have a tough lineup
Some good veteran hitters in there

 

[maxrandomness]

Question
Is this Huff guy a better option for backup catcher than Sabol?
At least Sabol could hit a bit

 

[maxrandomness]

Oops my bad
I see he is with Boston now

Huff and Sabol seem interchangeable to me. Both have hit in the minors but not in limited big league opportunities and both profile more as bat first catchers. The only difference is that Sabol also can play the outfield (which may hinder him as a catcher).

Not silly, given the pitching matchup. Rodon is a hot mess; Spyder is balling.

We should win this one.

Welp, I do like being right but not when it's knowing bad things will happen to the Giants.

Try to learn something from this @tzill

The baseball gods are not to be trifled with lol
