There was no good excuse for not filling black holes. They were all depth moves, not forcing anyone out.
They'd be much better than 48-42 right now with the added good players.
Many teams have much better players than we do and they aren't 48-42.

In other words, what you believe means absolutely nothing because you're usually wrong.

Re: Trade deadline trade ideas discussion
Spaghetti doesn't stick to the tune of a 2.04 ERA. History doesn't support your claim.
Teams aren't supposed to get as lucky as the M's have been where 3 injuries led to 3 relievers nobody wanted saving our season.
Idk how many more times I have to say that your spaghetti method isn't a reliable method to building a quality ball club.

I've been right about most every season but this one.
But good for you that you think the greatest outlier in the history of Major League Baseball proves that you knew what you were talking about.
Re: Trade deadline trade ideas discussion
The only reason they have a negative run differential is these guys, most of whom would never have been here if we had signed one more bat and another SP. It's not rocket science, stop using their run differential to justify your absurd stance on the team.
The terrible players are gone. And never should have been here.

You've got a bad case of the Yeah-buts.
Yeah, but the relievers...
Yeah, but the run differential...
Yeah, but the backup first baseman...

Re: Trade deadline trade ideas discussion
And I'll say it again, the M's likely don't have the lockdown bullpen we currently have if they had gone out and signed guys like Alex Colome as you wanted them to.bpj wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 9:12 amThe only reason they have a negative run differential is these guys, most of whom would never have been here if we had signed one more bat and another SP.

The M's would also have a way worse run differential if Newsome, Marg and Stadler hadn't gotten hurt because there's no way those 3 relievers would have a 2.04 ERA over 84 innings. We're talking probably double that and Cruz + a LF you wanted to sign wouldn't have overcome how shitty our bullpen would have been if things didn't shake out the way they have.

Yeah, and JP Crawford sucks, we know. You're always right.
