Toddwert Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 You guys are viewing this season like they are trying to win the division…its a development year its been that from the beginning. Winning games and being competitive was just a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smh Yeah - Tichenor's been bad, really squeezed Manning to start the game and the ring up on Torkelson was ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never going to contend but after he allows a few runs, why leave him out there to give up 7,8,9 runs? If you think there's gonna be rain, seems like the smart play would be to consider an opener and bringing Manning in afterward. But there may be other considerations that we as fans don't realize, idk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve attended several AAA games this season and I am all in on the ABS System at the MLB level. Perhaps one year of Challenge System and then roll out the ABS in 2025… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can quibble whether Englert is worth locking in a roster spot for the full season. But they don't have any real answers for pitching in Toledo..it's defensible.

I'm sure Harris knows the talent on this roster is years away. It's easier to sell when you are 8 games out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is the sacrifice teams make... if they believe in his tools and aren't all in on making a run while 7 games out, there isn't a discussion to be had about dropping him.

No one saw Texas’s this year. Two or three moves go the Tigers way and a couple of developmental successes and they could be competing in a year or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
