mammajamma Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 so lucky to have Ross dealing right now to make up for Corbin/Lester (and Stras apparently) struggling. hopefully ross will buy us some time for those guys to get back in a rhythm also need to find a way to keep zimm in the lineup.. he can be such a spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need Jon Lester to be full strength so we never have to watch Fedde pitch ever again!!! If we get this Joe Ross every five days, they are going to rattle off some win streaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I want Ross to pan out as a long term option. I really do. Every time he has a great game, it makes my day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl05 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Joe Ross looks awesome. Hopefully he can stay consistent. Just a reminder, Mike Rizzo traded Steven Souza Jr and Travis Ott for Joe Ross AND Trea Turner. Might go down as one of the greatest fleeces in history. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting Ryan Zimmerman Drafting Stephen Strasburg Signing Max Scherzer Signing Juan Soto Trading for Trea Turner & Joe Ross / Tied (Drafting Anthony Rendon) Amiright??

BigHuv21 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Jason Werth being the first big money free agent and not Prince Fielder or Mark Texieria was sneaky huge for the organization too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to keep both but was ultimately okay with letting both go considering the money they got. I can even justify letting Turner walk(he'll be 30+ I believe when he's a FA and speed guys fall off after 30). But no excuse for letting Soto walk. He is MLB's Pat Mahomes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Soto is the guy you MUST keep now. If they F that up, it'll be upsetting. Listening to Turner before the season on the radio. He might look 15, but he sounds like a baseball lifer who thinks about all the little things from how deep in the zone to hit, to situational defense. He's a sneaky leader on this team and should be kept. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is MLB's Pat Mahomes. ya i think turner has outgrown his "speed guy only" reputation though. he was one of the best hitters in the league last year. so even with some age and loss of speed, he's still incredibly valuable 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Love it! First player from the 2019 team to come back iirc. And he gets the 10k capacity applause he deserves! Edited April 15, 2021 by CRobi21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce is really good, but he couldn't get the clutch knocks that Tony Two Bags gave us all throughout that playoff run. Rendon was a lot of fun and was beloved by the team when he was here, but he also played like he was dead inside. Ice water all through his veins, no fear, no panic. Bryce definitely got in his own head when things weren't going well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammajamma Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The 1st inning is so weird Corbin has zero control, and their left fielder just gives up and let's a ball fall right behind him. Back playing spring training ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
