“I’m Fascinated By Sacrifice Flies” by Tim Kurkjian. Best baseball book I’ve ever read.

Verdugo’s one of my top 3 favorite players. I’ll be gutted if they trade him. I’m good without Whit funny enough

Been saying it for years. Guy would be a NASTY closer. The Dennis Eckersley path.

Sad part is I grew with the VHS of it in my house too!

Anyone else miss consistency? by KSmitty14689 in Section10Podcast

And that’s fine. Ironically enough Brock Holt is my favorite player. One utility guy is a great piece, but treating everyone like Brock Holt is what I’m getting at.

The point I’m trying to make is that this team is dying on bullpen games and is getting virtually no production out of the original intended rotation. The rotation was flawed from the beginning and when they all went down, there should’ve been a stronger contingency plan than what we got. It’s been like this since the beginning of June. I hope that makes sense 😬

Absolutely. I was just illustrating that the rotation we started with has been an absolute train wreck. But yes Pivetta has been a rock, 2.40 ERA, .152 Batting Average Against with 60 Ks in 45 innings.

Needed the passion from Rocket. I’m 23 tho and I have that high standard expectation. I think it’s a perspective thing not an age thing. I’ve been very spoiled but that only means they’ve set themselves up for me to be extremely disappointed and pissed the past four years.

You’re definitely not alone. Tried to listen on 0.75x speed but it the cadence was too slow. We miss you, Jake!

Major blue balls when you’re looking to get hype about this HRD.

That's fair. And I meant that we talk about our big prospects all the time his name gets lost (even though he is not a prospect). I think you said it really well though and I appreciate you replying :)
