    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Dana isn't trading Brice Matthews. That's his baby. 

But Jeff Bagwell is his daddy.

Our outfield sucks and our bench sucks. If Aledmys Diaz is on this team on Aug 1 that is another fireable offense. 

Our outfield doesn't suck when Tucker is in it.

Just go with it.

Astro fan big mad.

Speaking of Tucker, where is that pussy?

and he hasn’t been in it and don’t know when he will be in it. I said what I said.

Diaz never really did it for me his first time around, so I don't expect him to help much now. A less versatile Dubon...and we already have the utility role covered by Dubon himself.

Kikuchi and Ferguson have some warts but I like our chances of squeezing some juice out of those arms the way we have so far with Tayler Scott, Bryan King, and Kaleb Ort. All of those guys are strike throwers who don't walk a lot of hitters and have above average K:BB %s so I'm optimistic about the deals for the 2024 season. We are a better team today than we were yesterday.

Who else are the Pirates going to add to entice us?

We are gonna get fucking Michael Taylor who just beat us last night aren't we?

In a pinch, Cruz probably could play 1B. 

Pirates need to throw in Livy Dunne to take Verlander and Kate's role.

2/3 sucks > 1/3 doesn't suck. It sucks even when Tucker is playing.

This is just a reminder that Garcia has already been sent on 1 rehab tour through shitty Texas and florida minor league compounds before we got here. But where we are now is not a setback.  For reasons.

 

 

reminder that we traded for this dude last night:

So we might be able to use him to take out A's players and possibly beat them? Where does the bandwagon line start!

Would much rather have given the three for him as opposed to sending them for a starter with a 5.00 era. We have starters coming back, we do not have a right handed bat at first base

We don't really have a left handed bat at 1B either.

So we paid significantly more for Kikuchi, cool.

 

F+ for Dana. Not getting a right handed bat for first or an outfield bat to replace Chas is terrible. I mean how much could Canha have cost? But fuck it. It’s done. Our bat will be Tucker. JV gives us one last blast, Kikuchi becomes an asset and let’s go

Well there went Canha to the Giants. 

That’s alright.

we were pissed on July 31, 2017 when we did next to nothing.

there is always the 8/31 waiver deadline!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

what’s that?

that no longer exists?

 

 

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I'm fine with the deadline passing without acquiring a bat if it meant not giving up another prospect haul. Hitting is not our dire need, it was always about the pitching and we at least addressed it by getting a serviceable SP3/4 and another lefty reliever. Pitching is what will take us deep into October and one thing this organization has consistently shown is an ability to find hidden pitching gems that bear fruit later in the year.

So according to this, Dodgers traded 19.6m for 9.3m = -10.3m.  We traded 17.3m for 4.9m = -12.4m.  

 

time for the coping and seething phase of the trade deadline

I'm all for scoring enough runs that our pitching need not be quite as stellar. 

I thought we should have done nothing, personally.  Fans always clamor for additions.  We gave up way too much for Kikuchi when we have SPs coming back from injury and our farm is already light.

Let’s get Kikuchi in here and get him coached up and start winning some games. I expect zilch from the guy from the Yankees. No way they are sending a guy to Houston who could in any way help us against them in the playoffs. Hope he likes Sugarland.


Dont understand Dana. Cheap. Smashes LHP. Right hand platoon for first base. I know it takes two but that’s the kind of deals I expected us to make this year. Guess we were all or nothing on Yandy.

Best bat traded was Arozarena. I wanted him very badly. Winner would have been a fine consolation prize. We got worked there because we were too busy looking for a pitcher and took our eye off the ball imo.

Predictable response  from Astros fans re: Tucker

Best response at the bottom. Who was this? Screen name?
