Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

i know they have all the money in the world but stanton's contract is utterly insane...hes supposed to get $25 mil in his age 39 season which is 12 years away.

at that time 25 mil will not be bad for a good outfielder, but we've been down this road with aging power hitters. his dWAR is in the negatives, i cant imagine it would be any better in his late 30s. without some significant help from the marlins im not touching that contract, unless its a total and complete salary dump from new ownership.

but even then you have to commit to throwing $100 million away because hes not going to be productive or even on the field in the last 4 years of his deal.

Last year when I took my sister down for the Utley return game it was brutal. And this is coming from someone who lives in a swamp

Yeah it can get nasty. I actually had to take my contacts out during the game because I had sweat so much throughout the day my lenses were filmed over.


Anyways can we get Alfaro up here at least please? Can't take much more of Rupp

so let him figure it out at the big league level. 2 months of triple a with terrible peripherals and questionable game calling skills is more than enough.

Yep.

He can't be worse than Rupp.

Rupp is garbage

PHL 17 recently interviewed Alfaro and asked him what fans should expect if he comes up to replace Rupp.

i cant believe i keep going in circles with you on this but you do realize wins at the ML level mean absolutely nothing

alfaro is out of options after this year. he needs development time on his defense and specifically on his pitch selection. there is no front office on earth that would call him up.

if you want to complain about something, complain about kingery still being at AA or hoskins being blocked by sloppy sloseph.

Kingery and Hoskins fit into my yelling about bringing up the young bucks.

Pitch selection can be learned in the big leagues. No young catcher comes up ready to lead a staff like that.

Then again he'd be learning from McClure so maybe he's better off staying in AAA until that useless boob McClure is fired.
