Rendon never said he hates baseball. He said it's boring to watch. 

They may not have unlocked him yet but they have mastered cutting him loose.

Maybe they just aren’t that good of pitchers? It may not be a complicated issue at all. 

@Lou you are truly missed my friend. Happy Birthday! 

Zero reason for him to be in the montage to begin with.  

rebuilding....ish.

Regardless of the starting pitcher, I don't see any reason to give Moniak starts over Adell. It feels like we know who Moniak is and it doesn't merit this much playing time

So we have a Brett Kerry and a Barrett Kent.  That won’t be confusing.  

It’s a moosical number.

I agree
 

For those of you wondering what Wayne's $200 shirt looked like without the tie and coat....

I mostly agree, but our first pick should be another fast riser, as there aren't too many and one should fall to us (either a hitter like JJ or a pitcher). There are a lot of 1B, but we have Schanuel. 
 
After that, I mostly agree on power arms, but Caldwell could be another interesting pick. He's a bit undersized, but in some ways reminds me of El Rojo, who just made the team better. A good combination of speed, power, contact, and defense. 
 
After a polished college player I'd focus on some.power HS arms to create another wave of pitching talent. With the staff we have, and the players in development, we can afford to take higher end HS players l create another wave of talent. 

This thread skus

The mood swings in this forum are awesome.

Grading anyone or anything through one game is stupid as shit, though that's par for the course with you.  Phil isn't coming back so if you're going to be terminally asshurt about the managerial change all season the only thing you're going to accomplish is making an ass of yourself

I've mentioned this before, but it's possible that the totality of the information MLB has is enough to scare owners off, while still not being enough to bring charges in any individual case.  For MLB/the owners, maybe it's about the overall pattern of behavior.
Again: I'm not arguing for or against anything. Just pointing out a possibility. 

If this is really a year to just see what the team has in terms of its younger players and prospects, it wouldn’t seem to make much sense to sign a vet who is a PR nightmare, and would take starts away from someone else’s development. Unless Bauer is part of a long-term plan, it would seem counterproductive to what Perry is trying to do this season. I don’t get the obsession.

I just realized that in years past I was only really interested in wins and losses. 
This year, I'm legitimately interested in watching a bunch of guys on the team play.  I also like Ron and haven't liked either of our last two managers.  
And I'm sorta over the whole Ohtani thing.  
I'm ready to see a team that's decent to good at pretty much all positions.  
Going back ten years, I would say that I enjoyed watching Trout and Ohtani of course, but outside of that there were very few.  Howie, Richards, Shoemaker, Simmons and that's about it.  
This year I will want to see Neto, O'Hoppe, Schanuel, Rengifo, Trout, Ward, Sandoval, Detmers, Soriano, Drury, Canning, and a few others.  
They might not win enough to make the playoffs, but I like this team.  

The team goes 68-94 - their worst season since 1994.
