Wtf is up with McBroom? Why is he not getting more playing time? He's started 2 games in like the past 8 games, but he has a .999 ops. It feels lime this team is being stupid as fuck and blowing a great opportunity to get long looks at guys. Fucking didn't even give Brett Phillips a real shot and shipped him off for a Tony Pena Jr. clone. [Reply]

Oh yeah. I didn’t even mention that one because I think it’s now safe to say that a lot of small market GM’s with tightwad owners would have been content with their 2014 and 2015 rosters “as they were” and just missed a title run for that reason. GMDM convincing Glass to be a non-absentee owner of a baseball team is an understated accomplishment of his. [Reply]

I also feel bad for the fans in San Diego for all the football & baseball failures. They need something to root for. [Reply]
Bunting with two strikes and takes a fastball down the middle. If that doesn’t tell you it’s either 100% mental or 100% not caring, I don’t know what will. [Reply]
Mondesi should not be playing right now. He's lost. Now that the Royals have a partial owner who, like Mondesi, is a highly talented son of a big leaguer, I wonder if they will be better able to get some help for Adalberto. [Reply]
If there's anything that really helps a player its keeping his ass in there playing! Doesnt matter that he looks worse and worse, you just gotta make him play. No time for a mental break. Just gotta literally beat it out of him! [Reply]
The more the season goes on the more annoyed I get with Matheny. Its his call to play Mondesi Every. Single. Game. and to keep McBroom on the bench. Fucking idiot [Reply]
