Scratch him off the wish list for the deadline then.

The full list:

OF Andrew Benintendi
IF/OF Whit Merrifield
C M.J. Melendez
DH Hunter Dozier
SP Brad Keller
SP Brady Singer
CF Michael A. Taylor
OF Kyle Isbel
RP Dylan Coleman
C Cam Gallagher

That's pretty much everyone worth a damn in their lineup sans Bobby Witt. Jr lmao (keep in mind Salvador Perez is still out with that thumb injury too)

They straight up might not have a catcher for that series.
 
It was interesting during either the pre-game or the TSN panel thing with Scott McArthur and Steve Phillips (I forget which one I was watching at the time) that there was mention of a disconnect between Charlie and the front office. Maybe that means all those times there were questionable managerial decisions and there was some talk of 'Charlie's just a puppet of management so if we're going to blame someone for the pen usage or Tapia or whatever, blame them.' were misplaced and he really was going off script.
 
No doubt we need to upgrade pitching (especially in the pen) but little things like batting Tapia leadoff, over playing guys like Panik in years past, and waiting until pitchers completely blow up despite clearly not having their top stuff that day all are self induced wounds. That glare Guerrero gave Montoyo tells you all you need to know about the players feelings since Vlad is one of the easiest going players in the league.
My only concern is listening to the radio today they said Schneider often drew up the lineups and had a lot of say in the decisions. They implied that likely lineups etc wouldn’t really change because of that. I hope they are wrong. The thought of Schneider putting tapia in the lead off spot and is all realizing it was him all along would be like a double down nightmare

Ha, that's hilarious
 
Even going by this dunce cap logic, Gausman went 14-6 last year so I fail to see what stupid ass point you're trying to make here.

Ha, exactly! I thought I was taking the dumbing-it-down approach by only looking at ERA. Yikes.

Just catching up on the NHL stuff so only just seeing this after a busy day. About damn time. Most of what has gone wrong lately has been more on the pitching than Montoyo, but his bullpen usage hasn't helped the pitching at all, and he's a terrible manager. This should have happened in the offseason but at least they rectified the mistake.

The first part of your sentence explains the second half of your sentence.

Your lack of scientific knowledge isn't a virtue.
Without getting into it.....

People might want to read the all the Pfizer documentation that the courts are forcing them to reveal very carefully. They were fighting hard in court to hide their studies/trial data for 55 years.

I say people should read it all, and then make up their minds.
