frick that. If I was calling the shots, my top priority would be Wade Davis.


If not Davis, there are plenty of other attractive bullpen pieces... need to add one or two. Everything else is in great shape for 2018.

I'm reading Bregman AMA and now he's about to be interviewed on MLB Network.

ETA: I like how he basically gave away that he's not 6'0" with his "I'm short" comment.

Too bad a lot of their fans choose to be classless on Facebook.

I don't know how many times I've read a Dodgers fan refer to the Astros as a "racist and classless" organization.

Random question:

Do you guys think we will see J.B. Bukauskas in the majors next season as a bullpen guy? Or do they leave him in the minors to develop as a starter?

They want to develop him as a starter so unless he is dominating and they think he can be a Sept call up/playoff roster guy I doubt he’s up in 2018

If we don’t have a new LH reliever by 5 then Luhnow should start packing his bags IMO

Someone told me a few weeks ago they heard B-Mac was by far the funniest person in the locker room and I was kinda surprised. Very interesting to see Bregs say the same thing


Considering he’s basically the poster child for being the fun police in the MLB I bet a lot of folks would never expect that

He hasn’t made any transactions since Aug 31. The audacity of that man!

One last thing I found fascinating from Bregs AMA...


“What Dodger gave you the most anxiety to hit against or when they got in the batters box?”

With Kershaw and Jansen as options...his answer was Morrow

Good thing he won't have to face him after Morrow becomes an Astro IMO FWIW

Geoff ludlow is more concerned with fiddling with the quad cities staff while the major league bullpen burns. I have a list of no less than five quality bullpen arms that we should have papers already drawn up on.

This is really pathetic imo. Honestly the immediate lack of foresight takes away from the luster of the playoff run we just had.

In Travis Sawchik’s fangraphs chat today he said he liked the idea of Liriano signing as a reliever. I know his first couple games with us were rough and the home run against Devers wasn’t great, but say we sign 1 later inning guy (Morrow, Reed, Minor etc) and Liriano comes back for $3-5M as a LOOGY. If we still need upgrades we get them at the deadline. Thoughts?

ETA in this scenario we get rid of Sipp this winter
