Bogart Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) We did this when they were good, going to fire this up when they are really bad. Questions going into the season: Dane Dunning - can he throw baseball good? Nick Solak - can he settle on one position? Isiah Kiner-Falefa - can I spell his name correctly without double checking by end of season? Joey Gallo - what do we get for the ultimate true outcome player?

Bogart Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Really like our 1-4 in the lineup. But also had to Google who is starting at DH today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culdeus Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 so 100% capacity for opening day, then drop back to like 50%? Is that honestly for covid, or the fact there is no demand for the product and this is a cover? I can't get a clear answer or bead on this.

Bogart Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Pathetic display of ignorance and stupidity at Globe Life yesterday. The game was pretty bad as well. But hey, Nate Lowe is leading the league in RBIs which makes my shares of Ronnie Guzman pretty worthless at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogart Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Another crappy loss, but hey, at least we have the reigning AL Player of the Week in centerfield (all apologies to Leody) Quote In the AL, Adolis García hit .333 and slugged .875 for the week with four home runs and nine RBIs. In the process, he completed a stretch of homering five times in his first 10 games of the season. The first three of those home runs gave the Rangers a lead, making him the third player in franchise history to hit go-ahead homers for his first three career home runs, after Jurickson Profar in 2012-13 and Billy Sample in 1979.

Bogart Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Quote Joey Gallo’s home run was 105.5 mph off the bat, and his single was 104.3 mph. Adolis Garcia’s home run was 107.7. Willie Calhoun had a 107.0 mph groundout. Nate Lowe was 106.4 mph on his double and 99.2 mph on his single. Nick Solak and Charlie Culberson had groundouts at 103.2 mph and 103.1 mph, respectively.

Encyclopedia Brown Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 What's going on with David Dahl? I wanted the Cubs to sign him over Joc Pederson.

Hitting in the bottom third of the lineup, no real power to speak of yet. Overshadowed by Garcia and others. I was really excited when he signed that he would be that number 3 or 5 hitter around Gallo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogart Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Ugly loss last night. It's amazing how one bad loss makes you forget about a sweep really quickly. Garcia going deep seems more common than when he doesn't, but otherwise, pretty sucky offense and even worse defense. Ohtani is really fun to watch on the other team. Wish I had him in fantasy.
