  1. ... and all sports in NCAA.
  2. Did you expect me to go back and apply my exegetical skills to my earlier post? (I'm just way to wrapped up in the game to do that.)
  3. There is no sense to be had with this team. But the important question is, will the Seadogs have enough of a season so that I can pay off that debt I owe you? (Probably the only thing about this baseball season I'm looking forward to.)
  4. Just remember, as we were told in another thread "intelligent" RS fans support all the moves Bloom/Henry made. So now we just need to have them explain to us how we are supposed to appreciate the nuances of this team. (I think I am simply insufficiently conversant with dWAR and fanGraphs to really understand what we have here.)
  5. Ha ha! I understand now. If all the players Bloom signs end up to be Hall of Famers, then he did a great job. ERGO, "intelligent" fans support him. (Of course, they will have no reason to buy tickets or purchase gear, but that's up to the marketing department, right?). At least the pitching is great, no?
  6. Damn, this Bloomian team is hard to watch; but so were all the off-season moves these past two years. Oh well. You get what you pay for, I guess.
  7. Absolutely! I definitely expect them to average over 1 run a game. Take it to the BANK!
  8. I know RS stats geeks did not want to PAY Mookie, but I don't think you'll find a single fan who says "I don't want Betts on this team!"
  9. It already is.
  10. Yeah, if only they had dumped JD a couple of days ago, they'd have a shutout going today, and would have had a damn good chance of a no-hitter yesterday.
  11. I missed yesterday. Was there a grand pre-game ceremony about getting under the cap? And why aren't all the players wearing "Reset!" patches on their unis?
  12. The fact that the RS are mediocre doesn't bother me--I've cheered for lots of mediocre RS teams over the past half century or so. Rooting for players you know is what fandom is, no? What bothers me about this situation (and this is everywhere in pro sports today), is that it took so much wheeling and dealing to GET to this level of mediocrity.
  13. I guess I am failing to see exactly where the strength of this team is.
  14. There have been no questions raised about Bloom's dealings???? what else has anyone talked about for six months?
  15. THAT'S what all RS fans wanted.
  16. EVERY team should win if they hold their opponents to three or fewer runs. But hey. RS got as many hits as Mookie did on opening day, so all's good.
  17. Hey! We're a half-game ahead of the Yanks!
  18. Did they fix the new Yankee stadium? Wasn't there an entire section where part of the field was obscured? (Hard to see how that could happen with a modern stadium.). I remember years ago, my friends in theatre design would work on scale models, and one of the things they did diligently was check the sight-lines of every seat in the (imagined) place.
  19. Clean living. Healthy diet. ...
  20. But don't worry, Covid-supporters: Texas (which presently has one of the worst infection rates in the country) will have a full stadium for opening day.
  21. Whew. I didn't think the RS undefeated season would last this long.
  22. It's all about practice.
