oh yahoooooo you've done it again

couldn't hold on to him any longer. [...] I'll be keeping a sharp eye on him when he gets back on the field.

https://www.mlb.com/cubs/news/craig-kimbrel-reaches-big-save-milestone Terrific article by Jordan Bastain, of MLB dot com, detailing how Craig Kimbrel regained his mechanics resulting in his recent surge of performance with eyes on save number 350 on the horizon.

but they still slugger Colin Moran to man 1B for ??? years

I have been a Pirates fan since I was 7 years old. From Clemente, Stargell, Maz to the Lumber Company to We are Family to the Bonds, Bonilla, Van Slyke era, etc At this point in time I hate their ownership, I hate their management, I simply hate this organization and refuse to contribute 1 red cent to them. No games, no merchandise, I refuse to even watch a game on TV

this did not age well

and Alex Bregman started either 0 for 30 or 1 for 30

They could decide to play Walsh in RF and have the corpse of Albert playing more 1B

2 HRs a week is a 50 HR season

I coached and managed for decades. something I would instill into my OF's ... a screwup by an infielder likely puts a runner on 1B ... a screwup by 1 of you outfielders typically costs multiple bases and run(s) and could be the difference in winning or losing that game. I guess I'm old school

I do like Kimbrel this year but you can replace him with Trivino. I'd pull the trigger on that trade

Kimbrel with 4.7 perfect innings to start the year with 9 Ks and 2 SVs

sonofab I'm thinking 8 to 10 weeks
