Man... its getting a little dusty here in my office.

Props to the medical community for fighting this thing and saving countless lives.
Props to the scientific community for developing a vaccine so quickly.
Props to the current administration for prioritizing the distribution.

We're. Back. Baby!

It will be interesting to see how ticket sales go. Obviously if the team is no longer in the mix in 6 weeks it won't matter.

Those three things are great, but the population still needs to do their part.

They should absolutely rake. They'll probably have one hit and 15 strikeouts

I’ve been a fan of how Stearns has generally been able to mask a weakening farm system, but it now looks bleak.

You could go from basically worst to first by trading Burnes, Woodruff, Hader, Freddy.

I’m sure the route will be to try again next year buying offense around a great pitching staff, but it’s fun to dream about. And I’m generally not one yelling for a rebuild.

We have a ton of young home grown pitching talent in the majors that is cost controlled. Absolutely the time to spend on putting an offense around it to contend versus rebuild. It’s like we crushed the hardest part and now the whiffing on the ‘easy’ part

Yeah, it still makes to move forward as we are. Hopefully with a healthy Yelich and one acquisition bat we should have a passable offense again.

Yelich and hiura remembering that they are supposed to be good would definitely be helpful.

It's kind of crazy that we have three legit Cy Young candidates, along with arguably the best reliever in baseball, and we're sitting at .500. It's an all-time incredible squandering of amazing pitching.

I am really hoping having Narvaez and Yellich back will be a start, then if Keston can just not be an absolute liability, I think we are in some decent shape to help the offense. Probably still need to find a way to add a somewhat impact bat to that mix. Thinking they went a year too early on Urias.

The issue I'm having is Urias is about a year away from being a lost cause.

People knew the risk with Urias' bat...and that seems to be coming true. I'm not sure there is a ton more development to be had.

I'm sure this was just some kind of initial opinion bias, but I felt like he had a nice approach to the plate, willing to hit all over and be patient, just has not manifested into reality.

Any interesting players on the trade market that might be able to play short and provide some offense even if they only have a year or two left on their deals? Send Urias back down, hope the other bats come back to life and profit the rest of this season.

Trevor Story would be the logical pickup.

Yeah, I like that, what do we think it would cost given he is a FA after this season right?

Not much. Maybe a prospect just outside the top 10, another in the 20's, and a PTNBL.
