We need more DAWGS

Can we trade for Altuve? DAWG

JOSE RAMIREZ? DAWG

Tomorrow is the 10-year anniversary of the Delmon Young double, so maybe he throws out the first pitch - or more likely JJ Hardy.

Harrison Bader? Lousy DAWG

I really think the majority of our guys are just soft.

Gunnar is a dawg. Westburg is a dawg. Even O'Hearn is a dawg.

Adley, Cowser, Mountcastle, Holliday, Mullins are all soft.

Ive said this for awhile. Talented but I want more edge. When I talk aboilut changing or mixing up the DNA this is mostly what I mean.

I dont have the best read on Ced. Regardless, I generally like him as a player. I dont think he is soft but he can be unfocused at times

Who shows some fire when our guys are constantly being hit or thrown at? When the umps are constantly hosing us?

It was Burnes. It's O'Hearn. It was Hays. Most of the other guys just put their head down and walk away.

Those Buck teams had Jones. Machado. Hardy. Davis. Markakis. Pearce. Even Wieters seemed to have an edge.

And they had Buck.

Didnt Burnes look exasperated with this team yesterday.

Btw this is an area where I believe a different manager can help. Youre not gonna completely change someones personality but you can help someone find more of an edge

Hyde was a good manager to keep everything calm and relaxed when we had a bunch of AAAA scrubs losing 110 games a year.

It is awesome that it screws over scalpers but feel bad for the real fans

 

Yup. I paid for season tickets and paid a premium for my seat yesterday while all the bandwagoneers got to go for 2/3 the price.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

When they showed Burnes looking out of the dugout after he'd been taken out the look on his face said a thousand words. It was kind of a "I don't know what the F else I could have done" with a mix of "if that was the last game here so be it".

Woulda preferred OHearn in the 4 hole.

I would love to genuinely ask Elias and a supposed analytical FO why in the hell an exttemely low WPA unclutch guy like Cowser is hitting 4th. How can that make sense

 

Or how reverse splits are constantly ignored. Or if more importance is put on batter performance or opposing pitcher performance when it comes to considering platoon advantages. It seems clear that gaining a platoon advantage is an utmost priority for the organization.

I was there yesterday. I feel like the crowd rose at appropriate times. With that said, there wasn't too much to be excited about and then the regression to the August through mid September malaise of flailing away at the dish for Ks or weak pop ups kind of sucked the energy out of the building.

Crowd can be taken out of the game at any time.
