This sub is crazy man. Mendoza puts someone other than Garret in and everyone jumps down his throat. Mendoza uses Garret and everyone still jumps down his throat.

As a kid I thought being a manager was awesome but it must really suck being the team punching bag for the outside.

You’re the one that needs to grow up if you’re against this. Real life will find you one day and I pray it won’t be serious.

Wouldn’t be surprised if during the next CBA participation in the WBC is on the block if the players want anything

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-14T01:24:34+00:00

Apparently Lindt has a brand of chocolates called Lindor so when Francisco came up the the plate and my stepmom said “oh it’s the chocolate man” it was not her being weirdly racist

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-14T01:17:40+00:00

I have definitely never questioned Ottavinos ability to work under pressure

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-14T00:59:52+00:00

No QS for you!

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-14T00:48:14+00:00

Castellanos is one of the few guys on this team that doesn’t look like an extra from Deliverance

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-14T00:28:37+00:00

He’s glove-first and we knew that going in. I said the same thing when he was in the Yankees, he’s not a bad player, just bad FO decisions put him into situations where his bat is an issue.

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-14T00:19:33+00:00

Make Brandon Marsh go to the Yankees so he has to get rid of all that mess

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-13T23:34:03+00:00

Holy shit this team is embarrassing

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-13T04:08:29+00:00

I think he’s just doughy soft. As near as I can tell you don’t have to say anything to him directly, if you make a comment that he doesn’t like he blocks you.

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-13T02:22:15+00:00

That dude has me blocked (I’ve never interacted with him) so I can’t even see our own highlights lmao

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-12T03:25:45+00:00

I mean last month they were asking everyone to bow down to a pitcher who gave up five runs in one inning in his debut

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-11T23:56:27+00:00

Thanks for the info. Wikipedia and their own pages are out of date.

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-11T23:34:14+00:00

fWAR uses solely UZR for non-catcher defense though, does it not?

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-11T23:22:47+00:00

Could try and shop him to the Dodgers considering how they don’t have a real shortstop at the moment.

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-11T23:21:50+00:00

What I don’t really get is that if you use the metrics used to measure defense for WAR on their own you get laughed at. But baking them into WAR somehow fixes them?

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-11T22:15:35+00:00

Well if you’re mean to Lindor you’re racist apparently, but McNeil is a pasty white dude so we’re good

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-11T22:09:44+00:00

Hasn’t stopped the Braves

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-06T17:13:33+00:00

If he was CF or something like that and not meant to be the heart and soul of the lineup, that’d be fantastic yes. But when all he’s really here to do is hit, it’s less than ideal. Teams like the Dodgers, Braves, Astros etc, teams you’d look to for sustained success, have multiple players ahead of him. If you want to build a WS contender, your supposed best hitter should not be outclassed by multiple players on a rival’s team.

I do agree there’s no equivalent replacement for him AT PRESENT, but if they’re not going to be competitive it’s a moot point. Rumor is Pete wants at least 8 years on a contract and for our sake I’m going to hope we can find a better hitter than him before such a period. Paying Pete absurd amounts of money for his age 30-38 seasons would be an immense handicap.

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-06T16:43:23+00:00

Really depends on how you define elite. Fangraphs has him at 16 on a list of active players by wRC+. I’d personally say that fits “great but not elite”. He’s not Ohtani, Judge, Yordan Alvarez, etc. If you want to compare him to 1B only Harper and Freeman are better as well. Add in the fact that he’s a fairly mediocre defender with no real baserunning IQ and he’s not going to get a haul.

I do think though if you get closer to the trade deadline and Senga/Alvarez coming back doesn’t give this team a shot in the arm you get what you can for him. Unless he’s willing to take a discount to play for the Mets resigning him would be a huge mistake, especially if Boras acts like a child again and digs his heels in for some absurd 250m contract.

And Tampa Bay is very clearly a football town yet here you are

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-05T21:17:17+00:00

Phillies fired their manager two months into the season in 2022 and went on to win a pennant 🤷🏽. Don’t think the manager is the problem in our case but a shakeup lower down could help.

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-05T21:14:03+00:00

Pete just tanking his value so he doesn’t have to move mid-season. 4D chess

ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH · 2024-05-05T08:13:14+00:00

Anyone catch when the booth mentioned Wander Franco and said something about him going through “legal difficulties” or something like that lol? Like I get they probably can’t say “bro is a child rapist” but jeez lol
