We already went from a potential #3 hitter and a top starter to nothing in one year. Taveras>Miller>Heyward all lost, then nothing.

I'd take my chances on 1 year of Arenado with potential for more than Reyes ever managing to not blow out his arm.

its a different era now. All teams have money. Not Yankee money but plenty to sign that one player. Also it’s about marketing for the top players. They make $20$-$30 million but they make more with commercials. Shoe contracts, Gatorade etc. you play in a big market those companies like you better.
Look at Trout. Best player in the game. No one gets to watch him play and no big commercials. Harper and Manny want those big contracts. That’s what has changed since Holliday. It’s not enough to win and play in front of great crowds.

Just a catastrophically managed inning by Schildt. God, I hate managers' obsession with getting a SP a win.

We had a 7 run lead on a team that wants our playoff spot. Just give that away for an individual record? A worthless stat. It’s not a Shildt thing. It’s a baseball manager thing. Supporting your pitcher doesn’t mean ****ing over the other 23 players.

I feel like Hicks is a keg of dynamite, just waiting to blow.

we had this game won. It shouldn’t even be close. Schildt has pulled guys early before. I’d like to know why he stayed with Mikolas tonight instead of pulling his pitcher when he looked lost, just like the other times he pulled his pitcher.

I know we had the off day yesterday, but he’s gotta get innings somewhere. I’m still not convinced the kids don’t run out of gas before it’s over with.
