Official "Panic Button" Thread

I disagree.


That makes assumptions about failure modes that don't withstand even the slightest scrutiny. Just tired cliches ? Do better, sir

I'm interested in energetic cliches

There a Reddit for that... probably

Are you expectations of me so high that you really expect me to do better? I'm honored.

I don't expect you to, I am telling you to

Julio Rodriguez has 1 HR and is batting .253. Panic meter is 0.

[revo]

Cedric Mullins: .193/.246/.370, but since April 22 is hitting .096/.161/.173 in 52 ABs. With Baltimore being loaded, I sense a move coming (either an IL stint for suckitis, loss of playing time or trade). Panic Meter - 7.

0 seems a bit low, I'm at least 1, maybe even 2. Rather than panic, it's more a confronting the question of how good will he be ? After his rookie year expectations were huge, but he hasn't improved since then, and has just been a below average offensive player thru almost a quarter of the season. I've certainly changed my expectations of him.

Still only 23 years old and already with two all-star seasons under his belt. Probably still 3-4 years away from his prime seasons. He may have a "lost" season in the middle somewhere and maybe this is the one. But, I think he is on the verge of going on a tear. He could be one of those players who can't hit in the cooler weather. That would easily explain his slow starts the last two seasons.

Sitting for the 2nd straight game vs. a RHP, with no indication of any injury. Panic Meter rises to 7.5 (yes, we can do fractions on the Panic Meter!)

Oh come on, go for the full 8 lol.

I've always thought that Mullins was overrated. The last few years he's been one of my favorite names to throw out at the auction and then sit back and watch someone else spend good money on him.

Well my anti-jink may have worked. HR and a double off the top of the wall today

Jordan Beck - just came up and is 3-for-21 which is fine, but it's the 0 BBs and 11 Ks (52% K rate) which is very troubling. If you were overjoyed that you got him on waivers for free, well.....Panic Meter - 8.

5 game hit streak culminating in a 3-4 game with his 1st HR and 5 RBIs. Still 0 walks on the season. Panic Meter subsides to 6.5.

[revo]

James Outman - .173/.256/.284. Probably has a lot of goodwill from last season, but when Heyward returns, Pages may not be the one on the outs. Panic Meter - 6

demoted to AAA today

demoted to AAA today

Whew, at least it's not Langford

Wow, the emoji's or whatever are harder to find these days.

I dropped him for Ryan McMahon in my limited bench league. If McMahon wouldn't have been on the wire, I probably would have stuck with Keith. But, he is in danger of being demoted if he doesn't break out soon, which i doubt he will this year. Maybe 2025 will be his year.

I picked up Colt Keith again. He seems to finally be putting things together.

Edwin Diaz is showing us why no closer can be trusted.
