  1. This teams problem is the farm system, which is on Moreno/Reagins/Dipoto. Eppler so far has done a great job (Simmons, Maldonado, Maybin, Meyer, the bullpen, etc). This team had no pitching depth coming into the season according to everyone, has sustained crazy bad luck with injuries to all their key pitchers, yet they are hanging in there and getting serviceable innings out of JC Ramirez, Alex Meyer, and Parker Bridwell. Let's let Eppler have his crack at this. So far the results he's gotten out of reclamation projects have shown a legitimate ability to evaluate talent, something Reagins and Dipoto flat out were not capable of All we can do is assume that the luck is going to turn around at some point, and we'll get a few breaks. We have a ton of money to spend with Hamilton's disaster contract being gone. You get some luck and a couple good free agents (a bat and a pitcher), all of a sudden you have a very talented team pushing for 90 wins next year. For the first time in a decade I feel comfortable with our front office, so it wouldn't surprise me
  2. Yankee Stadium is a joke. That ball Judge hit is a flyout caught in front of the warning track at Angels Stadium
  3. Scioscia's gotta get tossed here. The umpiring is so bad in this game. Send a message
  4. The Rockies pitching has been real good. They got Hoffman in the Tulowitzki trade and he's been lights out. They also picked up Jake McGee and Gregg Holland for the bullpen this offseason and both have been dominant.
  5. No one can ever say we got lucky if we make the playoffs, that's for sure
  6. Yep. Doesn't provide anything defensively and obviously can't run the bases either. This is who he's going to be until the end of the contract/he retires, though. His legs are shot and his approach gets worse and worse each year trying to compensate for it. At this point we'd be better off with Cron at first, Escobar at DH, and Cowart at 3rd
  7. Since when was the bullpen moved to the left side of the infield?
  8. Pujols has a .662 OPS this year and can't play the field. The guy is a complete liability
  9. He looked pretty crisp out there I'm told
  10. Nolasco: 5.01 ERA Chavez: 5.06 At what point do we say some random scrub from AAA could do just as well for a fraction of the price..?
  11. Nolasco is seriously bad, and has no potential to be good
  12. Pujols and Simmons should switch places in that lineup
  13. Maybin, Simmons, EY jr. have been stars for this team
  14. God, Valbuena is a moron, why not just flip the ball to the guy covering
  15. Revere is the most useless player on the roster. He's just taking up a spot on the 25 man at this point.
  16. Can someone explain to me why the dodgers have the 23rd pick, despite making it to the NLCS last year? Is this all based on regular season record or something?
  17. The competitive balance thing contains like 4 current playoff teams lol
  18. Billy Eppler has made more good moves in a year and a half than Dipoto and Reagins made in 6 years
