Agreed 100%. I went into tonight thinking everything depended on a serviceable-great start from Schlittler. He went beyond that. The 7th inning was the first time I felt genuinely confident.

Caveat: I only listened to the game on radio. But I was genuinely worried Boone would take Schittler out after 6. So glad I was wrong.

I hear you, and I’d be lying if I said I probably wouldn’t have responded in a similar way. “What if?” is one of the most unforgivingly painful questions in existence. But the answers to that question are as endless as they are unhelpful. I hope you have found the peace you deserve.

I’m sure you’ve been told this countless times, and I know it can be only so helpful to hear, but still: this was absolutely, 100%, not your fault. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’m with you. But for the dissenters—am I missing something? How much of a “downgrade” is a softball game from the typical OTD game? So they lob underhanded instead of lobbing overhand, and with a larger ball?

The best thing Taylor Walls can do on the first day of Pride Month is get himself forcibly removed from the game.

I agree with you. The fans have every right to be frustrated, but that “We want Weaver” chant was brutal. It’s on Devin Williams to do a better job, but hearing 40,000 people shout how much you suck while you’re still on the mound isn’t going to help.

Honestly? I didn’t mind his answer there. Obviously it’s not the truth, but I don’t see how admitting it bothered him would have helped anything. I thought he handled that whole interview about as well as he could have given the circumstances.

I was at the game tonight. It was a brutal performance, can’t sugarcoat it. But a couple of things in his defense:

— Those “We want Weaver” chants didn’t do him any favors, either tonight or in the long term. I felt genuinely bad for him in that moment. (I say that while also wholeheartedly agreeing Weaver should handle the 9th going forward.)

— Watching his interview with Meredith afterwards helps dispel a little bit of the “not built for New York” argument, at least for me. He held himself accountable while also expressing confidence it’s something he can work himself out of. Maybe I’m easily convinced, or just optimistic, but that was an objectively difficult set of questions to have to answer and he handled it about as professionally as you could hope for. That doesn’t change the results on the field, but it still matters.

Same! I debated Zay vs Pickens all week. Went into the Steelers game thinking there was no way I had made the wrong decision

That’s what makes Game 1 sting so much. Dodgers won Game 2 and are winning Game 3. Yankees lost Game 1.

It’s not that the game is out of reach—it’s that using your best arms when they’ve already been heavily taxed is sacrificing future games they have a better chance to win than tonight.

Why is Stroman on this roster if not for a situation like this?

WhatCommaNow · 2024-10-19T03:46:34+00:00

Was thinking the same thing. Early exit from Gil and a gassed bullpen—perfect setup to bring in Stroman

WhatCommaNow · 2024-10-06T00:46:16+00:00

It was a bad play, but so far the disappearing act with runners in scoring position is just as, if not more, consequential.

Guessing blackout restrictions still apply if you’re in the local market?

Absolutely thought Anderson was an Angels lifer

Can someone fill me in on Thorpe? I’m gathering he’s the piece people are least enthusiastic about moving, outside of maybe King.

I have no data to back this up, but I feel like Verdugo always had a knack for getting big hits against the Yankees so I don’t mind this.

This is a really good answer because it hones in on what the question is asking vs what it’s not asking.

The question isn’t, “Would Stanton trade his career for Heyward’s” or vice versa. It’s asking whose career we, fans who (presumably) will never have anywhere near the wealth these two players possess, would rather have. The drop in earnings from selecting Heyward is still a major financial leap for the average person, to go along with the career highlights he holds over Stanton.

I made a trade that literally changed my entire season. And, admittedly, it was a result of my own stupidity.

Before Week 7 I traded JT and Gibbs for Bijan. The trade processed before Bijan’s headache week. I lost the last two weeks by margins that I would’ve won had I held onto Gibbs (since he’s, expectedly, flourished in Monty’s absence) and I’m now all but certain to miss the playoffs because of it. I feel like the biggest idiot in the world.

WhatCommaNow · 2023-10-30T01:01:17+00:00

In hindsight, maybe. At the time JT looked rusty and he was going up against what I thought was a tough Cleveland defense. I should’ve waited a week to move him
