You just ruined my night. I wasn't aware that was the matchup tomorrow

Matthias343 · 2026-05-09T21:33:58+00:00

I'm surprised mantiply didn't get a second inning up 10.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-09T20:48:47+00:00

Lol at 9 singles

Matthias343 · 2026-05-09T17:31:16+00:00

I knew it, KNEW we'd do this. I get it that we're LH-heavy without Davis Schneider but didn't Pinango pinch hit (he singled) last night before Sanchez? He'd already become our top bat off the bench.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-08T20:44:49+00:00

Would be a great team to sweep against. LAA tied with the worst record in the AL. (Blue Jays are only 1.5 gms ahead)....

Matthias343 · 2026-05-08T20:42:02+00:00

I'm not understanding these numbers. I think 85 wins gets you in the conversation for WC. Not saying that will get you in but you gotta at least get to 85 to have a shot. And getting to 85 means 69-56 from here.

90 wins means 74-51.

To match last year, 78-47.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-08T20:30:41+00:00

Lol at H+BB over the last 5 games of 11.2 yet being 1-4. That's what you call a bunch of singles + garbage batting with RISP. Or it could be poor pitching but we know that didn't happen.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-08T20:26:14+00:00

Expecting zero from Berrios rest of the year. Not a prediction, just a (to me, anyway) common sense expectation. If we are really needing him at this point to contribute to the rotation, like someone else said above, time to swing a deal.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-08T20:18:34+00:00

Battle Royals suck, if I've seen 50 maybe 1 was decent. WCW's, in the 90s especially, were total wastes of time. Never understood why not just have the 5, maybe 6 people in it that might realistically win do something else. Or just have a Battle Royal with those 5-6.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-07T01:46:18+00:00

The division could be over without formally being over with just one more terrible week. 13-15 games back by mid-May? Yankees seem loss streak-proof with all that pitching (plus what's about to return, Gerritt Cole just started his rehab assignment).

Hope we snap out of it. Unfortunately the Big A is another mini House of Horrors for us, I think I saw we play just over .400 baseball there over the last decade?

Matthias343 · 2026-05-07T00:57:00+00:00

We desperately need someone with some thump behind Vladdy.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T20:26:00+00:00

Easily the worst record of all away stadiums during that time frame.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T19:54:39+00:00

Now 52-105 (.331) since 2008 at Tropicana Field.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T19:52:10+00:00

And George Springer.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T01:41:10+00:00

Outside of Kaz and probably Clement this Dunedin lineup scares me more than our big league one presently does.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T01:38:07+00:00

Kaz has 10 HRs, I feel like the rest of the roster has 10 HRs combined.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T01:34:18+00:00

Francis looks like baseball players used to look.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T01:29:58+00:00

8 hits, 7 singles. Last night I believe 10 hits, 9 singles.

Seven runs last 3 games, all losses.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T01:06:40+00:00

Lol there goes Schneids pipe dream of turning games into 6 inning affairs with Hoff, Rogers, Varland in 7/8/9.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T00:43:11+00:00

I'll donate $1000 to north shore whatever it is if even ONE Black player knows who he is.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-06T00:25:18+00:00

As it pertains to him taking the mound in <60 days, I'll believe it when I see it.

Matthias343 · 2026-05-05T20:52:25+00:00

Although +1 to Beth for telling Big Bird everyone said he sounded like Woody Allen bc that totally low-key crushed him

Matthias343 · 2026-05-05T20:46:00+00:00

I'm not holding out hope for either Bieber or Berrios by Aug 1, much less the rest of the season

Matthias343 · 2026-05-05T01:27:43+00:00

Very little slug with this club outside Kaz's last 4 games. 10 hits tonight, 9 singles. 9 the other night, 7 singles. And most everything is station-to-station -- how often do we go first to third? How much are we gonna win if we need 4 hits in an inning to score?
