We'll be doing one each month for the rest of the season. It'll be easier to consolidate info this way and for everyone to be able to follow along any news and information centering around the club's various affiliates.

if it makes you feel better if they didnt trade PCA the likeliest alternative was mark vientos. also in the offseason zack scott said they considered a much bigger trade (which i think would have included Alvarez).

As hyped as he has been the last few years im not sure id feel comfortable betting that PCA ends up much more than Bader, and that's with him coming back from a serious injury and taking a development leap.

Sorry. Took me a little bit of time to go fishing for them this time. The links seem to be harder to nail down this year compared to last.

Good points E. I'm glad they're holding onto their kids now. Could have been worse. Zack Scott is a piece of work.

The biggest issue I have with that trade is that it was just so unnecessary. They needed pitching at the time, not hitting. It was an empty trade that did absolutely nothing for the club other than cost a top prospect. Just a mind-numbingly stupid trade. This team was run by morons.

think that was the year they fired chili davis bc he was fighting with zack scott and everyone was slumping below career avg (conforto worst year, mcneil bad year, mccann year 1). pitching wasnt great either but carrasco, jdg, and thor were in theory coming back.
if any of you watched the original justified am i crazy or does PCA  
Eric on Li : 4/29/2024 8:06 pm : link
look like dewey crow?
sevy pitching "very well" through 6 with just 69 pitches  
Eric on Li : 4/29/2024 8:12 pm : link
very happy to eat crow on that signing, so far it's like the baseball gods gave us one for all the shit they pulled with harvey/syndergaard.
through 7 with 79 pitches now

We all knew deGrom wasn't really coming back that year.

ump was squeezing him too. at least 3 50/50 calls went against him in the 8th.
Cut Wendle

Yeah the one I still didn't really understand from Stearns POV. And what was the rush.

This sucks.

Game is on Wendle.

We lost all momentum and energy.

GF1080 : 4/29/2024 9:31 pm : link
That's a really bad loss. Wendle and Diaz get the mongos of the night award.
I can't stand Wendle either.  
Optimus-NY : 4/30/2024 7:02 am : link
He had the runner at home dead to rights. Guy is such a loser from a loser organization. If I were Stearns and Mendoza I'd be livid with him after this game. He doesn't get a long leash. Say what you want about Louis Guillorme, but he was a TRMEMENDOUS defensive player. He would've nailed the runner at the plate in his sleep--as would almost anyone else with a modicum of common sense.
hard to fathom the wendle signing and his defensive problems  
Eric on Li : 4/30/2024 10:05 am : link
given how much emphasis stearns has placed on defense and the nature of his role. guillorme was a stud defender and he hasnt even ended up in a place where he is playing more. it wouldnt be the first time a player thought grass was greener when it wasnt and guillorme is hitting very poorly (.158 with a rc of 28), but wendle has failed his basic role of just playing solid defense. he is -1 DRS at 3b and -1 OAA at both 3b/2b in only about 60 total innings. in a full season that would be *15.
Wendle

and Justin Slaten remain Stearns 2 strangest off-season decisions.
