In all seriousness, how is 14 out of 30 not 'average'? Or would you rather use the word 'mean'? i.e., there are 16 teams worse, and only 13 better?
-
Good grief, a utility player? basically Brock Holt, now parked at SS? Thank God we got rid of that guy. And what's he doing at that position when they have Kike?
-
Not mine. Whenever that tune comes up, I turn the sound off, just as I do when facing any other variant of chauvinistic drivel (e.g., the military-happy Star-whatever or, the absolute worst, God Bless Amerika.)
-
Are we really celebrating the fact that, while the major league club heads for yet another last-place finish, the farm has risen to the level of mediocrity??
-
If the cost of this dismal season will be the retiring of that HIDEOUS song, this years-long nightmare will have been worth it.
-
Yeah aa 50% success rate is about the ceiling in everything about this RS season.
-
Yup.
-
His on-field interview on the Sunday night game last year made me a fan (I believe that's where a dumb-ass interviewer asked about his mother, who was dead!). But this confirms my support!
-
More evidence of a FO bot. You know, Charles Manson had a beard, but lots of guys have beards, so what's the problem?
-
Agree 100%
-
There is no cover or excuse they could use to sign Bauer.

RULES QUESTION: I'm watching Dodgers. Mookie gets a hit. Pitcher holds him on--throws over and as Mookie is diving in, ball hits him in the wrist. He just lies there. Gets up. Trots to second ... Say what? ( The ball must have gone into dugout? right? although I did not see that ) If ball hits runner, ball is still in play, correct? (I don't think this was the third throw over ...)
-
That's because you are arguing with a FO AI Bot who has all the facts, past and future.

We have been rooting for young, up and coming players for years. The problem is, once they arrive, Henry trades them, along with a veteran or two whose salary he then includes. If I want to watch prospects, I can go to Portland.

And his cadre of burner accounts assuring us that all is well.
-
I have no idea what you are saying half the time. But I do know that you are never wrong, even when you say contradictory things. That's why I asked.
-
Are you suggesting that Grissom has the same up-side as Sale??
-
I've been doing the same with Ohtani, Betts, Yamamoto, ... I feel the same way.
-
I especially like the "continue" part ...
-
So the problem was when they extended the term to fly balls? where the notion that a batter can attempt to hit a fly out rather than, say, an off-the-wall double, is absurd. But equally absurd is the notion that a batter is rewarded for 'trying' to make an out w/ a bunt, or that the scorer is some mind-reader who can determine intent. (I believe there was a chapter in MONEYBALL critiquing the whole moral impetus behind the concept of 'sacrifice', no?).
-
Ha ha! All of which he will face if he signs with the RS.
-
Did Teddy have any bunts? Where the dumb-ass scoring rule is that if you TRY to get out while moving the runner up, it's a sacrifice, but if you TRY to get a hit while moving the runner up, it's an out. That is idiotic. (Why not, then, for sac flies? THAT doesn't count as a sac fly because CLEARLY he was trying to get a home run).
-
Are you high?
-
Totally agree. Wonder who was behind the hype? (Agents wanting more? Or owners wringing their hands about how unfairly they are treated and how impoverished they are? -- I suspect the latter.) (then again, maybe it was just bored fans making sh*t up!)
-
You mean, they need to make others "perceive" something that is not the case?
