Douchey Dbacks saying a lot of shit about the post season. Real cocky and just brimming with " fuck you LA" basically...I guess the dip in the pool still stings badly. Hate the " not in our house" shit, the announcers, that idiot Rodney. I'm fine with Apaches, knew a few, they all hated each other, and we better not get swept.
It's audition time so in bringing up veterans it put up or shut up. Not guaranteed that they will be on the play-off roster but with pedigree that they have you owe it to yourself to see what if any they have left. Not going to win a WS with all kids. We all hate small sample theater when we get too excited about a spec or when a guy is hot so it has to work the other way. Grandy has not been good but he just got here and he's done it in the past same with A-Gon. I trust Doc and the FO to put the best guys out there irregardless if doesn't look pretty at times. Fear not Cody is back, Buehler and Verdugo are on the cusp. Our Ace is back Friday, our 1A in Wood is coming back this weekend and the Pads are on the schedule!
People underestimate the energy surge of having a guy with 40HR power in your lineup. First true big time intimidating homer guy we have had since Piazza.
This slump is great for the team. Its like how it was great that Kershaw got injured. And now Bellinger and Seager too. Everyone is going to come up ready for the season. Because we are in preseason right now. Our regular season ended a while back now. We have been playing in extended training camp since then. Getting ready for the second season. The playoffs.
There really is no excuse for Hyun-Jin Ryu to ever throw Goldschmidt a pitch in the zone. Begging for trouble.
So veterans are bad now? Gonzales is now on the pine after a few games. Granderson is a part time player who will get less reps going forward. Ethier has a bad neck again because he is trying to come back but not all the muscles are ready to go. These guys the reason why your team is in a slump... really? If a week or two of a few old guys filling in for some young guys who are taking some much needed time off so you dont burn em up is the reason why you think this team and the FO are showing that they really arent that great and actually kinda suck... then we are watching two different organizations this year. This is the perfect time to try out these vets to see what they can contribute. PERFECT. No other time better than right now to do this and see if you have some more house money to play with. Which means the FO is doing its job great. BTW Joc is not dead. He still around. When he comes back he will be something more than he was before. Before he was an underachieving guy who you needed and counted on at CF. Now he is house money. Anything we get from Joc this year is gravy... like the kind that runs through his veins.
All teams gotta look like shit sometimes, in fact they look like shit quite frequently. I think you need to look at some others shit so you can appreciate your own shit. Its not nearly as bad as you are smelling it. But you know the old saying... He who smelt it dealt it.
I think your nose is to close go your asshole...you seem to be olfactorally focused these days. Try some aromatherapy. Tell me if that makes Ryu stop grooving his pitches...or these guys stop striking out one after another.
Dude is such a homer lol. He doesn't need to be overly critical or anything but he shouldn't be delisuional either
Also,"when he comes back he will be something more"...wow...sly way of saying he's gained additional weight...poor Joc.
Something is really off with Granderson. 1-15 and 9 K's since he slammed into the wall in Pittsburgh. It looked painful and I wonder if he messed something up when he hit the wall.
