I really wanted Flaherty to get his first MLB win. One of my favorite prospects in a long time...I remember when we drafted him with that compensation pick we got for Beltran...my dad looked up a bunch of clips/info on him and I was blown away. I hope he stays on the roster this year...5 innings, 9 K’s, gave up 6 hits, only gave up 1 run...not bad.

Hicks doesn't. He's the real deal.
But, I dont blame Matheny for not using him. He's 21. Pitched in "A" ball last year. He pitched 2 days in a row. First day was 2 innings. Hick's is looking like a bonafide stud. 3 days in a row, this early in the season? Not even Matheny could be so stupid. |

Agreed. Relievers in 2018 dont go 2 innings successfully this early in the season. Matheny is an idiot. Maybe whoever he brings in blows it too but at least it was a fresh arm.
Gregerson. Leone and Holland will help the bullpen. If they are 80% of what they were in previous years and with the addition of Hicks, the bullpen this year should be a lot better than last years dumpster fire. |

I can somewhat see now why they wouldn't move Hicks or Flaherty for a rental.
Keep them this year, sell enough Buds and Busch at the games to pay for a superstar this offseason. |

Wacha can only pitch through the lineup twice. If he gets through this season without any shoulder issues, thats two years in a row. His value should increase. He will still have 2 years of control left. If Kelly hits near .300 in AAA, he will regain the best catching prospect in the game value. Put those 2 together with one of our outfield stud minor leaguers and we can get some high end help on offense. Pay Manny his $350 million. We will still have a starting rotation in 2019 to pick from of.. Martinez Reyes Weaver Flaherty Hicks Hudson Mikolas A Championship window is wide open.

As much as I love Machado, he'll be wearing pin stripes or Red Sox next year.

My posts on this are what I'd do to get us back to potential championship caliber team. Not procrastinating on what moves Dewitt or Mo will actually do. However the trade mentioned could happen with Dewitt and Mo pulling the trigger. |

Matheny stretching him for 5 outs is certainly debatable, but the pitch selection was the difference, particularly to Yelich. The slider was starting to hang, at 2-2 go up under his hands with a fastball or paint the corner. Neither place can he hit it out even if he knows it’s coming. When Yadi put down another deuce I thought wtf. Paint the corner with a fastball down, we were getting that call all night.
Then we compound the error by calling the same on the first pitch to frog eyed Braun. Matheny is a dumbass, but those two pitch calls were just atrocious. |

That’s why you don’t shake off Molina. Yadi should have kicked Leone in the nuts.
