Hopefully it's as good as the first season, which was awesome. Also cool to see that they've already greenlight a third and final season that is supposed to come out in 2028.

This offense is arse
Hyers should have been gone after last season, but he definitely better be after this one. It may not make a difference with our crappy hitters, but our approach is terrible across the board night after night.
Mahle looking like shite tonight, throwing meatballs.

The option was show intention. We didn't do that.
Clearly we should have shown intention by trading 3 of our top 6 prospects for Hunter Greene like you wanted, we'd be way better off. :lol:
Agreed on the hindsight ticky tack responses about Mize and others though.
While VAdawg is pretty much right on target with the off-season being the time to have fixed all this, there was tons of solid upgrades available for almost nothing. We are over here with scrubs like Young in our bullpen, and guys like AJ Minter were traded for almost nothing. AA is just a moron (or he has pissed off the other GMs so much that he has Coppy level relationships with them and has to overpay all over the place).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we extended Strider before the Sale trade was made.
You are 100% correct, he was extended in October 2022. Which was dumb to begin with due to him having not even completed a single season, and being an injury prone pitcher in college who already had TJ surgery. Throw in the fact we didn't even get any cheap control years out of the deal it was an all risk, no reward type of deal and completely moronic by AA.

AA has done a HORRENDOUS job from the offseason all the way through the deadline this season. Really the last few seasons….
He's been pretty much terrible since we won the WS in 2021 outside of a few great trades like Sale. Getting lucky on those deadline deals in 21 shot his ego to the moon and led to stupid shite like letting Freddie go and the trade for Murphy.

These first 7 innings is how I think a lot of us fear how the postseason is going to go
Pretty much. Only 86 pitches seen in 7 innings is absolutely pathetic.

Even though it was an out, Riley going the other way with power is really nice to see. Hopefully he can keep this going.

Riley has looked really damn good at the plate tonight.
quote:
wasn’t watching, but following on the mlb app. Why didn’t we run Dodd back out for the 10th?
Because WW isn't a good manager?
Dodd looked really crisp as well. And Kinley has an ERA over 8 in the second half now, so yeah, not a great move. And Iggy as mentioned has been rough in the second half as well.
As surprisingly good as the starters have been, the bullpen is looking pretty patchwork without Suarez.
quote:
Up 6 or down 6 is a reasonable spot for Young.
The only reasonable spot for Young is AAA. It's baffling that Karinchak is sitting down at AAA with scrubs on the roster. He must have banged AA's wife or something given the numbers he's put up with team and in AAA this year and not being up.
Baffling that we still have Young pitching on this team. Dude's FIP will probably be over 7 after this game, with a WHIP of around 2.

I mean he is all but admitting outright that he isnt even trying to finish ASOIAF anymore.
I mean, at this point I'm not sure why any of you pay attention to him, it's been clear for over half a decade he wasn't going to finish anything. After COVID came and he literally couldn't leave the house and he didn't finish anything it was quite clear. People thought his ending was a joke with the TV series, he doesn't know how to fix it, so he just won't release anything rather than be ridiculed.

You really couldn’t create a more AA-doubter outcome than the one he just delivered
If he hadn't gotten lucky as hell at the 21 deadline his arse would have been fired a long time ago. He's truly been entirely worthless since the beginning of the 24 season, a true display of ineptitude and complacency.
The Padres got Ray from within their same division and only gave up their 10th and 21st best prospects according to BA (and they rank even worse on Fangraphs).
His absolute refusal to fix our starting pitching issues over the past two seasons is ridiculous.

Which is an all-star pitcher with contract control.
He hasn't been so far this season, this season he has been current version of Strider. If he was pitching well coming off that elbow surgery it would be one thing, but he hasn't. And he's never had a complete season ever.
Carey and Gill are whatever, but trading two top 50ish prospects for a two pitch starting pitcher who has only managed to go over 125 IP once in his 5 season career and has never gone over 150 IP would be hella dumb. Particularly when he's royally sucked when he's been on the field this year (he has one start when he hasn't got smacked around, and that was his second one)
Greene is basically Strider. Down to the TJ surgery early on, being shut down due to elbow soreness in 24, now arthroscopic elbow surgery in 26. He's a ticking time bomb waiting for the second TJ that ends his career, and much like Strider he doesn't have the secondary stuff to compensate for losing fastball stuff.
Anyone who gives up major prospects to trade for him is likely to regret it.

Looks like we will get to see how Hartman adjusts to AA fairly soon Broski (along with Gil, Caminiti, and Carey). I'm interested to see how they do adjusting to the challenge, particularly with them coming from one of the worst home parks offensively in high A.

Not sure why his numbers are so much worse this year, but he’s battled a hamstring
He was super lucky with a .260 babip, 85% LOB percentage, and a HR rate over half his career averages, none of which are sustainable.
He has a career 4.19 ERA, that's what he is. We gave up nothing for him so it's no big deal, but he's a 5th starter if we are lucky. If we make a trade for a legit pitcher I'm assuming Ritchie is gone and then it's fine if Mahle gets starts. But if Ritchie isn't traded he needs to be the 5th starter to get quality innings.
quote:
Would give up a haul for Kirby in particular.
He's been fairly average since being injured last season. He's still been a solid #3 starter, but I have a feeling he'd cost like a #1 in trade.
I'm not a big fan of big trades for controlled guys right now given I think we are going to lose most of the 27 season. I was sure the owners were going to get a cap before the Skubal trade, but now they definitely are. We'd basically be paying for a year of control that would be nearly worthless.
quote:
That hurts because I thought he was the most obtainable in terms of AA being tight with his coin purse.
Given that the cubs gave up two 35+ FV guys to get him (Cubs 30 and 33rd prospects on Fangraphs updated 26 rankings) I think it's safe to say he was fairly obtainable.
I'd say Mize moves the needle pretty well myself, he'd give us a really good #2 starter, which would give us a fighting chance. Obviously injury concerns there, but Greene would scare me even more with injury concerns given how much we would have to overpay to get him.
And given that we are looking at Perez and Elder as playoff starters atm, many starting pitchers could move the needle a bit.
Given the prospect cost of the secondary pitching market so far, if AA doesn't get something done his BS will come off even dumber than usual.

Basically this. Hopefully we can grab Mize for a reasonable deal.

He was good his first season, but after that he's pretty much been terrible.
