The Dodgers are ensuring a push for major changes in the next CBA. Which of course will lead to a big fight and quite possibly another work stoppage or threat of one.
Our RH hitters:
Refsnyder - kills lefties but righties kill him
Wong - decent numbers last year but metrics say he was lucky
Rafaela - terrifying K/BB ratio
Story - who knows
Grissom - who knows
Campbell - only real hope
(I'm not forgetting the fringy Romy who did OK last year.)
Personally I think if they don't sign a RH hitter, our lineup of RH hitters has a chance to be one of the feeblest we've ever seen in Boston, unless Campbell does something big about it.
The thing for me is, we never got a credible explanation for how the interpreter could make 30+ transfers of $500 K to an unidentified account without the bank looking into it. We did hear about all these new security measures banks have in place to flag suspicious transactions for money laundering and the like. So how could this happen?
I'd love to know how the bank explained it to the investigators.
Yeah, I don't think the idea of "the guy" really works, mainly because too often "the guy" has other wealthy suitors.
Even the Yanks are losing out on "the guy" in some cases-Yamamoto and Soto.
Seems to me it's clearly framed as a two-part point. 1) Why are they spending so little; 2) Why, when they do spend, do they pick guys like Story and Yoshida?
I can wrap my head around the concept of multi-faceted incompetence...
I think that's interference from ads. It's happened to me too. We talked about it on the moderator's forum, and Brock said it was probably specific ads doing it.
If the problem persists, I'll let Brock know about it.
They are. They're not cheating, but they're exploiting flaws in the system to an incredible degree.
I think we can be pretty sure it's being noticed and there will be changes. But that doesn't help anyone in 2025 or 2026.
