Shady, I know you won’t do so, but I'll ask anyway. Will you refrain from posting on any of my post or threads. You make do many threads virtually unreadable as you always get caught up in childish back and forth.
Thank you in advance

Just replace Burleson with Walker you useless garden gnome. Presto. They asked for most upside, that ain't your boy Burly. He has peaked, just getting fatter and slower. Wear it.Shady wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 21:06 pmYou are a gutless weasel. What's your lineup?

Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
He’s cooled off lately too. So definitely need to let him settle in there. They rushed Carlson after a hot AAA streak. Better to let him work through things down thereBrummerStealsHome wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 17:44 pmRevren!Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 14:56 pm OF Donny, VS2, Walker

But leave JJW at AAA longer. No need to rush him.
Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
Agree. The theory that VSII will become a legit hitter is belied by his regressive performance from college to the minors to MLB. Only 61 career runs scored by a guy with his speed. He's very good defensively, but he has a -1.1 arm (e.g., only 3 assists in MLB).scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 21:38 pmThank youdugoutrex wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 16:54 pmany lineup with VS2 isn't the best possible upsideBasil Shabazz wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 14:56 pm OF Donny, VS2, Walker

I'm on record for saying I’d give Nathan Church a shot.
Outside the box idea, what about JJW?

Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
hamstring muscles can completely heal from most injuries, but the recovery time and process vary depending on the severity of the injury. Mild to moderate strains can heal within a few weeks with proper rest and rehabilitation, while more severe tears, especially those involving tendons, can take several months.
The guy had a hamstring injury, one time in college. It does not mean he’s gonna deal with it until he’s 85 years old.

Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
I was sitting in Big Mac land last night and Gorman was at 3B. It was very evident he is very slow reacting to the ball. The play in front of Winn he should have been going towards first and short hopping the ball instead of breaking late and heading towards CF where he had to spin. Then on Shaw's triple it was literally a ground ball ten feet to his right but he didn't move till it was by him. He looked good at bat, but not sure he has the reactionary skills to play 3B.JohnnyMO wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 16:43 pmI wouldn’t rush JJ until at least September callups. Gorman at 3rd, Walker in right. Burly and Herrera rotate between DH and LF.
Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
It's only Church with the longer-term plan for Josh Baez. They can't keep VSII as a starter. JJW is not one I'd try, but that's me.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑10 Aug 2025 11:01 amOut of the current players in the organization, who would you play in CF the rest of the season?ClassicO wrote: ↑10 Aug 2025 10:57 amAgree.

I actually do hope they get that professional help.
If your stated intention is to “talk baseball” you could have remedied the situation LONG AGO!
You choose NOT to!
Which tells us that you are NOT just here to “talk baseball” but seek attention, cause trouble or whatever??
Again....the ball is in your court.
You promote daily confrontations and stir the pot then claim to be a victim.
That speaks clearly of someone who needs professional psychiatric help.
And I do sincerely hope you pursue it.
