so much depends on itHard to love a team with a defense that gives away runs by the wheelbarrowfull.
Ort and Alfaro enough to get him?So, not interested in the Sox adding Ohtani then?
Where are "the downs"? We could do this DOB shit all day."What is a 'country mile' DOB?"

He says it on the road too. It's just his thing.Landsdowne st
The distance a meatball swifty travels before she’s gone?"What is a 'country mile' DOB?"
Alfaro on the roster is utterly perplexing. The guy can't hit, can't catch, and can't throw. Literally just use a minor league catcher that can't hit at all and can play the position.That Alfaro throw was just little league bad decision making. And by our "July" (which is early May), none of our catchers will attempt that. Just eat it. So bad.
Good on paper. Mayer better be great at SS with the glove. Otherwise, this is a pretty average defense.This would indeed look good

Demote Bloom to scouting director and draft honcho but give him veto on trades but still hire a Dumbo-type?It sucks because I really believe in Bloom’s prospect plan, but I doubt ownership has the patience to see it through.
It's easy to base your strategy on guys that are like 6-7 years away. Dude was hired from the Rays to make something from nothing in the interim, results matter.It sucks because I really believe in Bloom’s prospect plan, but I doubt ownership has the patience to see it through.
Is DOB planning on leaving the booth?The distance a meatball swifty travels before he’s gone?
There's a reason and I don't think he is as bad as we've seen defensively. But that throw is not one a fringe player should be making. All catchers know you get a free pass by eating it. Except for him apparently.Alfaro on the roster is utterly perplexing. The guy can't hit, can't catch, and can't throw. Literally just use a minor league catcher that can't hit at all and can play the position.
When did Yoshida become a right handed hitter?This would indeed look good

Oh I know. He’s basically hot until year 5 or I’ll be completely on the fire Bloom train. Some guys better pan out.It's easy to base your strategy on guys that are like 6-7 years away. Dude was hired from the Rays to make something from nothing in the interim, results matter.
He's the motocycle catcher from Bang the Drum Slowly, except he's not a fictional character.Alfaro on the roster is utterly perplexing. The guy can't hit, can't catch, and can't throw. Literally just use a minor league catcher that can't hit at all and can play the position.
Bad proofreading. Sorry.Is DOB planning on leaving the booth?
These references are so sweet. And so cold.I just have to say - that's delicious.
If he were allowed to throw the ball into the OF instead of trying to hit it there.I'll bet Alfaro would be a hell of a softball player!
They had their chance to get him for only money last winter, he wanted to come back.How much would it take to get CV back?
Maybe post-Reese injury it’s different?They had their chance to get him for only money last winter, he wanted to come back.
No evidence to my knowledge that is the case. "The downs" is an English colloquial synonym for hills. My guess is that is where the term came from. Either way, DOB sucks at calling baseball games, and Aquaman is illustrating why there are no underwater baseball leagues.Landsdowne st
You realize CV has transitioned from "backstop" to "paperweight?"How much would it take to get CV back?
Enrique and Caleb Hamilton should be enough, no?
Or Rafaela at SS, move Mayer to 3B or 2B and move Devers or Story to DH? But then you have to play Casas at 1B (and Dalbec at UT)Good on paper. Mayer better be great at SS with the glove. Otherwise, this is a pretty average defense.
