I’d bet we aren’t

You don’t make this move and be done. They’re definitely gonna do something else

 

[zjcvols]

I wish we hadn’t started ha
Well see what else happens

OF defense till Mike gets back gonna be brutal

Yep… Really need Harris back in mid-August. Don’t even care if he hits.

I think it's okay to say "let's make a move" but still not like the move made.

Oh I agree. It just keeps with the narrative of the thread of where we question every thing that happens. No matter what it is

No we don’t.

Wrong, there was excitement about the Oakland trades...

It's been brutal. Heck infield defense has been questionable

I have never seen a point in buying this season.

Probably because none of them are good fielders.

Saw a byline that says Joe Milton has "mesmerized" Patriots coaching staff in practice and I would pay significant money to watch a full Joe Milton practice.

 

[GAVol]

No we don’t.

It's baseball. Of COURSE we do.

The whole appeal to the sport is that it's everyday with time built in to second guess everything lol.

One of the more official signs I'm getting old. I swallowed a pill without water and have had heartburn for 2+ hours

go back and read my posts brother ha

The thing is, they're in the playoff picture and the pitching is really good. So if the offense can just show a pulse, you can convince yourself that they can get into the playoffs and have a puncher's chance. And yes - I know it's likely a pipe dream.

I played golf on Saturday and on the 4th tee it occurred to us that we had spent the first 3 holes talking about our ailments like your old Aunt used to do.

They absolutely should buy. You only get so many chances at the apple cart and with the new playoff system everyone has a decent chance. 2021's team was worse, and they won the whole thing. I don't like the attitude or leadership and there are flaws. But they should try and upgrade without selling the farm. You get in and have a chance. Soler helps. Even with his terrible defense, he's a legit leadoff hitter that changes the game. I got to think Olson gets hot at some point. Harris comes back. And the starting rotation (if they stay healthy) is as good as anyone's in the NL.

Soler is slightly better than what we have with the potential to be just as bad ha. The risk/reward with his contract ain’t worth it

 

[TBrown]

Are we overrating Jorge soler a little bit?

I was being totally sarcastic. We argue about EVERYTHING.

He is significantly better than Rosario, Duvall and Laureano.

Guys, Alex Anthropologie is an idiot. Lets just be clear. There is never a plan with this guy lol. And his only innovative thinking is to run back the lightning we caught in a bottle. It’s weird.
