If overuse was the argument, Romano would not have been warmed up or still brought into the 8th when the damage was done and it was 5-5 from 5-1. This was a blatant example of a green manager who was out coached by the opposition.

7-2 in the last 9 against teams we're supposed to beat up. Been a good 10 days.
I just don't see Groshans as the long-term solution at 3B. Not doing bad isn't really good enough. He's got to be knocking the snot out of baseballs to be a serious prospect.
Let's hope other teams' front offices disagree with me.
Id probably give him until the end of the year to start looking to trade him. He was injured in 2019 after a good start and didnt play 2020.
Hes slowed down recently but I dont think we need to seek trades for him. If we can get a good deal I would part with him though.
This cannot be said enough. Even of the guys knocking the snot out of Minor League balls, only a tiny fraction of them have what it takes for the Majors. Anyone who isn’t on a war path should be shopped. We don’t have holes in the lineup to “give them a shot and see what they can do”.
Already pissed that my 2017 Pearson draft prospect card is quickly losing all value. Don’t need that happening IRL to our valued specs while we’re trying to win.
Looks like we are currently hanging or hopes on Danner or Adams to restore some value from that draft. Atkins really seems to have punted that entire draft while having 2 1sts and his own scouting staff in place for the first time. It’s a bad thing for a rebuild when you get absolutely no value from an entire draft. Could have at least traded some of the guys while they still had value.
Depression.
I’m getting around to my baseball cards tonight after doing my basketball cards last night (found a Giannis RC that I had no idea I had $$$). Cant wait to see what my Tatis RC is worth right now. Vlad too, but his stock is just beginning to rise. Vlads RC will be worth a lot more by the offseason.
I bought the full set for around 80$, mostly for the Vlad RC. Gotta check if there is a Bo in there too.
I’m guessing the Tatis is worth around $600 or more rn.
Giannis worth about $400, up from 8$ when I first pulled it.
Football cards are really hot right now so I’m excited to see what I have there too.
