Our thread has twice as many pages as the Rangers thread... Rangers fans ARE NOT fairweather though.


their thread also doubled as their offseason thread

Although we did have our pissing match where we whipped up on fake staph, but we'll ignore that.

We'd have about 150 pages if it weren't for staph deleting tittays

I would imagine if Correa were knocking the cover off the ball we'd see him in there. With him scuffling a bit I'm not surprised we're giving him some extra rest.

He may be a starter one day, but his current role is perfect for this team.

This.

I feel like he's most valuable where he is now than anywhere else.

Think of it this way...Would you want Fiers getting his innings and seeing Devo once every 5 days?

And it shouldn't be Fiers forever. Way too many options for that 5th spot in the near future.

  • McHugh gets healthy
  • Frances Martes gets ready
  • David Paulino gets healthy/ready
  • Brady Rodgers is off to a hot start in AAA
  • Trade for a respectable #4/#5 pitcher

But all of those other scenarios leave Devo in the pen where he's been such a huge weapon.

Huh? Why would we trade for a 4/5 guy? That's dumb

I could see that happening.

If our 1-3 is stout and they want to improve the rotation without giving up the big prospects it'll take to get a 1/2 guy then an improvement in the 4/5 for giving up very little could be an option.
Yep. Throw a Low A Lottery ticket to the Braves to get Bartolo Colon. Slot him in at #4 and let Musgrove get skipped a couple of times to limit his innings a little.
Bartolo Colon is something else


As long as we get to watch Bartolo Colon bat!

As much as we complain about home umpire, and we are only an inning in, but I thought it worth noting this ump seems to have a very good zone.

Were they joking when they said if you sit in the field-level suite you can shag balls during bp?

Nope. They rope off an area of the centerfield warning track, and you can stand out there and shag any ball that makes it that far. Of course you have to contend with kids who will probably pester you to give them the ball you worked so hard to catch.

So who's gonna tweet the guys and ask Reid...

I've been seeing it everywhere but have no idea what #tofa stands for. Is this a new marketing thing or what?
