I've heard a lot about what the NFL is doing to help but not a lot about baseball.  Seeing the empty stands in yesterday's game made me wonder why Arte wouldn't donate a percentage of ticket revenue to Houston.  I would think he would get more people to show up if it was for a good cause.  Maybe the extra fans could encourage more than 3 runs scored.

I don't view you as mentally disciplined and mentally organized enough to have a discussion of any value. . .

Add edit:  no intention to insult, at all, just saying you seem wholly committed to a point emotionally and can't seem to back it up with any reliable logic with an objective, fair look.

So says the logician that employs an ad hominem.

Slappy, I was just saying in that gif that the shovel is for trenching and  not digging.

I will be digging everywhere looking for a full season of consistency.....

A better shovel might help.

It should be Troutofhere!  Or at least MVP KId.

Well, this is the lineup I've been waiting for all year.  If we can't produce runs with this lineup then . . . well . . . we suck.

Bummer but a life well lived.

I'm glad it hasn't been Parker Bidfarewell.

Or showcasing for a trade coming up in the next couple of days.

I really hope it is this.

If Arte gives Scioscia an extension I'm finished with this team. Really.

Cowart sitting...absurd.

 

I agree.  I have also been a fan since 1979, when I attended my first game.  But fanaticism only goes so far to excuse stupidity.

Mr. Fletcher, can you please do a story on the (mis)management of Cowart or at least the optics from a fan's perspective.  Can you ask Mike, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?"

Looks like Cowart is our starting 2nd baseman

 

Did Mike mean in this quote not to give Cowart more ABs?  I thought he was talking about Franklin.

Ha yah Cowart's sitting today

Unbelievable! I already turned on Arte; I have now turned on Mike.  Eppler is next.

Finally 2B is solved for 2018.  Now let's address 3B, LF, and SP!

Good.  2B is solved for 2018.  Now let's admit Valbuena experiment failed and Maybin is too fragile.

What Torii is wearing.

For me, Cowart>Wong>Gordon>Aybar>Kinsler.  To me, Kinsler would be like having A.J. Pierzynski on the team.  And I still don't like rooting for Escobar!

Wong>Gordon

I think the possibility of getting an outfielder and moving Kole to 1b when Cron (and Marte) are traded is legitimate.  I also think that if Moustakas can be had for a rental then why not also Hosmer, aka Angel killer? 

If the Angels were willing to trade Cron, I could see them going after another outfielder, like Cain, and moving Kole to 1st.

I like !!!

why trade for any of them if we can just sign them in the offseason?

If we want to win now and have first shot at resigning.

I hope KC will be sellers so we can trade then extend: Moustakis, Hosmer, or Cain.  I wonder if the Cards are down enough on Wong they will trade him.

I trust Maddon to make the right decision.  As for Sciocia, I'm now on the side that agrees he has been scuffling for a bit too long now.
