Skenes is filthy


He just looked a little greasy to me and he'll outgrow the acne.

It would be some form of poetic justice if we manage to get some runs off Skenes on a bullpen day and manage to **** this game in the ass in the end, after everything else that had happened.

The only positive spin I've heard on Kikuchi is that he has been unlucky

No one is unlucky you're whole career… they just call they being not very good

We can try and rationalize that the guys we sent are overrated by the fans, or go cherry pick stats that no one's ever heard of to justify Kikuchi is actually good... but there's just no defending this.

It's an absolutely terrible move and comes off desperate at best and incompetent at worst. Unbelievable.
A trade can't be judged until it's run its course. I would like to know just how much more Flaherty would have cost.

How could it have possibly been more? Bet we see him traded tomorrow for a lot less than this

Do any teams want Pressly?

The Astros. You did just hear how long it'd been since he last gave up a run? The Pirates are a good team. You don't win every AB.

July 29, 2011 Ed Wade trades Hunter Pence for P Jarred Cosart, 1B Jon Singleton, P Josh Zeid and OF Domingo Santana.

July 29, 2024 Dana Brown trades Loperfido, Bloss, or Wagner for Kikuchi.

Who got the best value between the 2 trades?

Gotta agree

I want to believe but

I could buy some kind of 'he does well at MMP' tale

After such a great run up to the deadline. This sucks all the joy and momentum. This feels like what the angels did last year when they traded everyone for a bunch of garbage because they were desperate and missed the playoffs. I won't be surprised if the same thing happens to us.


Remember the energy from the first Verlander trade? This is the exact opposite

Here's a good example of a fan out of touch with reality and way overvaluing "their" guys.

I mean if what they are saying is true that the ask for flaherty was too high then holy shizballs

They must have wanted minute maid park, orbit, and prima nocta with julia
