Fredi = the best choice available.

Yup. I'd much rather see him than Pendleton or Yost. Pendleton seems to lack the fire/drive I'd like to see in a new manager and I really have no idea how he'd handle being in charge.

I used to be big on Yost, until his stint in Milwaukee. And it's not the fact that he blew a huge lead late in the season either. It's that his players threw him under the bus. He didn't have the loyalty of the guys in the locker room and that's the one thing a manager MUST have in order to win.

TP hasn't exactly been a world-beater as a hitting coach, and although hitting coaches do get too much of the blame when things are going bad, I'd prefer that a guy succeed as his current job before he gets promoted. I actually would prefer that he took on some other role with this team (or another...) so Fredi could bring Jim Presley with him.

Is this game going really going to happen? WTF?

I have directv extra innings and they don't have the HD broadcasts of games on Peachtree. So I was watching the Chicago (csn) broadcast and at 8:15 they said "Expect to start play in 45 minutes." Assholes.

EDIT: HA! I post this. Turn around to look at the TV and Prado is standing at the plate!

Per Bowman: Heyward to DL with a thumb ligament sprain. No real damage, just getting time off. Jurrjens off the DL, Kawakami to the bullpen. And Matty will be up tomorrow, one of Chavez/Martinez will get sent down.

Strasburg got out-dueled tonight. Hudson wasn't getting nearly the calls as him, but he hang around and won it.

Not sure you and I were watching the same game. Didn't see that Strasburg was getting the calls over Hudson at all. Why would a rookie pitcher be getting the calls over a seasoned vet in his home park? Maybe I am blind but I didn't see the favoritism you did.

Strasburg's defense let him down, they imploded on him. Nationals are a horrible baseball team both offensviely and defensively. Would have liked to have seen Strasburg throw his curveball last night. Think he only threw it about 7 times that I noticed because of the humidity.

On a side note.....did anyone see the moron in the white shirt behind that plate during the game last night? He was really liquored up by about the 5th inning and was acting like a 5 year old. Just wondering if it was anyone on here. :)

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By TD alt · Posted

      More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?

      Goodbye to Barno

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
