You stand a better chance pinch hitting Brault.

Official Game Thread - 8/11- Bucs vs Cards

<t>We have very little talent. People who think we are going to be competitive in two years are nuts. Next year, we will be worse. Where is the hitting coming from? Not from free agency. Do we have any prospects who can come in and rake? Doubtful. Pitching is a whole different thing. I have no probl...

Time To Consider Making A Couple Bench Moves

<t>I easily see seven or eight names on our 40-man roster that serve no purpose and can be kicked to the curb at any moment. We are locked into at worst the fourth overall pick in next year's draft (We won't catch the Twins). Still think Baltimore will be better than us in the end and we could move ...

Your 2024 NL Central Champs

<t>Speculating on a possible starting lineup/rotation for three years out is fun for some, but 1. not everyone on this list will make it to the majors. So after another embarrassing 2022 season, which it will be, so all the sudden NL Central champs (I think your title is a bit tongue a cheek, but I ...

Official Game Thread - 8/7 - Bucs @ Reds

OK ... people have said that 2022 will be better. With very few options ready to infiltrate this lousy starting rotation, can someone explain how next year will be better. We won't be adding anyone good in free agency and out pick ups will be off the bone pile.
