  1. I’m insinuating that Barria had better stuff that game, because I was there. Giolito didn’t even hit 94 on the gun. Barria was near 96. Giolitos slider was trash. Even if it was an off game, Giolitos velo has trended down. Should not have traded for a guy like that and certainly not a top prospect. Not a difference maker.
  2. None of the acquisitions were ever difference makers. Hell, Barria had better stuff than Giolito the other day. Throws harder and has a better slider. These results shouldn’t be surprising. Minasian and Nevin are not taking us anywhere.
  3. People argue out of emotion, not logic.
  4. Serviceable. Better than expected.
  5. Are you saying you’re under the impression that arm injury frequency has gone down? If so you’re mistaken. They keep blaming it on overuse even though pitch count awareness is at an all time high at all age levels.
  6. Yes of course. But you have to lead. Trout always choking in big spots isn’t leading either.
  7. Not weird at all given Trouts history. He’s never been that guy. It’s unfortunate.
  8. Yes. The fact that frequency of arm injury has not gone down in the pitch count obsessed era.
  9. I don’t believe there is a single shred of evidence that pitch count obsession has reduced arm injury one iota. In fact, it’s the opposite
  10. Who said you have to agree with the premise of every thread to be able to comment in it?
  11. At what point does the fact that our pitchers rarely make it into the sixth inning get addressed?
  12. Jesus Christ. Fire the entire coaching staff. This shit is embarrassing and it’s getting our guys hurt.
  13. Holy crap, my opinion of Nevin got even lower after having read that. Just mind boggling.
  14. That’s called overmanaging. With a four run lead you go to your mop up guy because that’s his role and you’re not nearly as concerned with matchups because if he doesn’t have it you have wiggle room to make adjustments and still have a lead. Instead he put both guys out of position and he lost the game for us as a result. Piss poor management.
  15. This guy is clearly related to Nevin in some way. And just like I thought, there’s no justifying what Nevin did, just deflection and redirection. I understand the game great, and your relative Nevin is awful at his job. We all know the players suck, and we say so. Managers shouldn’t be the reason games are lost, and this one and others are on Phildo.
  16. Good god your takes are embarrassing. How are you related to Nevin?
  17. Can’t wait to hear Swordsman’s take on this abortion of managing.
