But if any of us were sane we wouldn't be spending all this time following a baseball team.
Sports is an irrational world. You've got 30 teams and only one champion. You fail a vast percentage of the time.
There is still some complacency in how this team is being run. The extensions are great, but there's something amiss when Toro is still getting crucial at-bats.
Henry isn't selling the team. If he was he wouldn't have signed off on 5 long-term extensions.
If you're waiting for Henry to go you'll be waiting until one of you dies - and if it's Henry that dies I assume his shares will go to Linda...
No, the season didn't end with yesterday's loss. One loss in itself, however brutal, is just one loss. But I will certainly admit that making the playoffs feels pretty shaky at the moment.
Yankees bats have suddenly caught fire and we know the O's are playing a lot better.
If somebody gave me 3-5 in these next 8 games I might have to take it.
Although I wish the best whenever he plays, I don't think he has earned much love, Kimmi. Here are his fWARs to date:
2023 +0.7
2024 +0.9
2025 -0.2
Total +1.4 !!!
Now it looks like they've even decided they have to platoon him.
We all envied the Dodgers for signing Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates.
Both have been pretty lousy.
It's crazy hard to make the right calls with pitchers.
It was an unusual trade under the circumstances, and a risky one.
It does show that Breslow has a lot of confidence in himself and in the evaluations they do.
We'll see if that confidence was well placed or not.
I read a biography of Jeff Beck, and there was a part about Beck going to see the Spinal Tap movie, and being in convulsions of laughter through the whole thing, partly because he recognized that Nigel Tufnel was largely based on him.
