and right on q
Mike Shildt said Michael Wacha had good stuff tonight, which raises the worrisome question of what would have happened if he’d had his ‘B’ stuff. Yielded seven hits, including two home runs in 3 2/3 innings.
Guess I don’t mind the unwarranted positive comments so long as it’s followed with taking a guy out of the rotation or lineup when they clearly should be. [Reply]

Michael Wacha was responsible for 1 of those games. Oh, and we got shut-out in his start anyway.
Why do people insist on believing that Wheeler would've changed the direction of this club?
This isn't a good baseball team and Wheeler would've served to make it slightly better, and still not good.
The problem isn't that Mozeliak didn't get Wheeler. It's that he built a team where adding Wheeler wouldn't have mattered anyway.
Bingo!
BTW someone needs to let Shildt know this team is 2 games under .500 since May 1st. [Reply]

that stupid ass PR, back your players, they fought hard crap pisses me off. But, he has improved the defense and base running with the same players from last year when it was an embarrassment. Most of his bullpen moves can be justified. Some bonehead ones for sure, but again, vast improvement over Matheny.
I’m not ready to say he sucks. The issue is our talent level. Who we traded for, gave FA contracts to. Schildt has no say whatsoever in acquiring talent, giving out FA money etc. Mo is the one who needs to be fired. [Reply]

will they let you into the stadium with that kind of sign?
The Dodgers, Astros and A’s are light years ahead of us in talent. You can’t score 1-2 runs a game and beat that level of talent consistently. 2 runs in 3 games in LA for fuck sakes. [Reply]
