June 16, 201511 yr Also, Hech made two amazing defensive plays and Dee made one too. #perryhill #WARwhatisitgoodfor
June 16, 201511 yr It is my birthday. I was there. Best game ever. Carter Capps got a standing ovation from me. I was also standing next to ARod during Yankees BP and then telling him to sit down from very far away when Ramos got him out. Vince, we did it. happy birthday erick!!! Glad you had fun bro.
June 16, 201511 yr Capps has just been sick. This guy could do some big things in the future. Now we just need to get him some big moments to perform in, like say a playoff chase.
June 16, 201511 yr The Lomo-Capps trade has actually been one of our most successful in recent years. Considering the huge upside we're seeing in Capps, and the suckage of Lomo coupled with dumping his arby years off the books, I'd say it's been a total success thus far. But now I jinxed it and his arm is gonna fly off like a Mr. Potato Head piece next time he pitches. Edit: Though I gotta mention that I do miss Lomo. He gave me two tickets on twitter once, so now he's practically family lol.
June 16, 201511 yr I'm of the impression that Jennings has OCD and if he doesn't make a double switch every game, he will go insane. Why do you take out a guy who is leading your offense on the night for Donovan fucking Solano in a 1 run game? Idiot. Whatever. Good game to be at. Glad to see we drowned out Yanks fans for the most part. A rod got the shit booed out of him then made the last out. Exactly how it should be. Looking forward to tomorrow when the guys both teams traded match up.
June 16, 201511 yr @Marlins vs @Yankees game 1 of a two day twin bill. #Marlins #Yankees pic.twitter.com/e4kvzTfFyY — Alex Carver (@hammerhead33065) June 15, 2015
June 16, 201511 yr Beat that Yankee bitch ass tonight, sweep tomorrow, then u go watch the boys do it again in New Yuck. Woohoo!
June 16, 201511 yr if I wanted to go to the game tomorrow (haven't been to one in a couple of years), would it be best to just try and scalp em outside the park for $5? is that still a thing? that picture up there^ looks like the park's only half full

He gave me two tickets on twitter once, so now he's practically family lol. Something to remember about LoMo's line is that Safeco is super hard on lefties. 112 OPS+ since the trade. Averagish for a 1b. He's beaten out our 1B the past two years by a good margin, while making a lot less money. Really, the only knock you can make is that he still can't stay healthy. Our 1B had a -1.0 WAR last year and -0.7 WAR this year (-1.7 while making 10.25m), while LoMo as put up a 2.1 WAR while only making 4.48m. Not demeaning the trade, but saying we've been better off w/o LoMo is just wrong.
June 16, 201511 yr Capps may be a better RP than andrew miller. His fastball is definitely better and his slider is as good. This dude is special.

June 16, 201511 yr if I wanted to go to the game tomorrow (haven't been to one in a couple of years), would it be best to just try and scalp em outside the park for $5? is that still a thing? that picture up there^ looks like the park's only half full that pic looks to have been taken prior to first pitch, it wasn't that empty as the game went on... it's basically a sellout tonight, you could try the scalpers thing but this may be the one series where there's no guarantees you'll get in.

Not demeaning the trade, but saying we've been better off w/o LoMo is just wrong. Understood. But I'll take a lockdown bullpen arm, over a .260 hitter with sloppy defense and an extensive injury history. Plus, my comment was on a player for player basis. Capps is/will be more valuable than LOMO going forward, at least in my opinion. If you look at trading lomo because we brought in Garrett jones, then yes, it was a complete abortion. They were trading him regardless, whether it was a wise decision or not, so all I'm saying is the piece we got back for him is actually a good one. So basically, yes you're right, Lomo is a lot better than our first basemen (which is not saying much). But since we were trading LoMo anyway, we could have done A LOT worse than Capps. Can you agree with that?
June 17, 201511 yr Said this in the game thread, think it's worth repeating: Derek Dietrich's night was better than Donovan Solano's season. YEAH BUT DEITRICH IS OVERRATED BY THE BOARD!
