He'll get the swing going as soon as we trade Thames. Can't focus with him around.

 

Thames gotta go, I'm sure we can get a relief pitcher for him. Got 3 lottery tickets for Lind, got Aguilar off waivers, but Thames is bad and we can get a reliever for him.

Not aggressive...think your plan is odd. I think calling up Hiura and trading Thames is a weird solution to Aguilar and Shaw batting .175. I'm also not sure why or how we'd get a high leverage reliever for a guy who's so bad he has to be unloaded on a team where he's the only 1B that hits. Seems like you are irrationally upset with Thames, that's all.

You two make such a cute couple and I don't care what they say about that.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

That's cool. You're entitled to think my plan is odd. I really don't care what you think about it. I think you're obsession with this conversation is weird but you don't see me going nuts over it.

Shaw still swinging poorly.

And Thames is still a defensive hack no matter where you play him. I wonder which will change first?

 

Again, so is Aguilar. Shaw's just a hack this year. He's did this in Boston and that's part of the reason we got him.

 

It's nonsensical to trade Thames under an assumption Shaw will just snap out of it. This is a contending team. We need Moose at 3rd, Hiura at 2b and 2 options at 1b who are killing their respective split.

 

Thames isn't bringing us helpful pieces for 2019 via trade.

I think Thames can be traded for helpful pieces, we just aren't in a position where that is viable at the moment. If Shaw gets going we can talk, but he isn't right now, and I don't believe it's a guarantee that he will. And he's not playing where Thames is, so that's where the plan gets especially odd for me. You can play both while Shaw is "snapping out of it" so that the guy that's been hitting is actually producing.

Just got in from walking my pup. Shows 2 outs, Cain singled and Arcia was on 2nd at the time. How did he not score? Was it really that big a bullet?

Had more to do with Harper's arm than anything. Arcia would have been out by a mile.

Ball got to Harper pretty quick, he was shaded to the line a bit shallow. Threw a laser to home, Arcia would’ve been toast

Was kind of a skipping hot shot at Harper too. Right at him and he gunned one.
