Get a grip on yourself. It was a joke.

Or a higher spin rate.

No rings allows for a tighter grip on the bat.

Looks like Plawecki is back to being Big Nate's FT caddy. Nate with... Plawecki 3.00 ERA/.614 OPS Against Vazquez 3.97/.807 Small sample size? Yes. How about career? .636 w Plawecki in 547 PAs Against .783 w VAZ in 714 PA Against

Agreed. If we could fake an IL, that might be a good start, then some "rehab."

It's time to DFA Brasier and call Seabold up. (I guess wait a couple days, until Seabold is in sync for a start.)

It's still early, and hitting is down across the board. I think these guys will all rebound. How far is yet to be determined.

Word was they limited Seabold's inning in his previous start, so he'd be ready to start, today. I have to think he'd have done better than Brasier & Co. Call up Seabold or Winckowsk, ASAP. Call up Fizty or Casas. Call up Duran. Promote some guys to fill their slots.

It's time to call up Seabold. Maybe he should have pitched for the big club, today. 6 IP 1 H 0 ER 1 BB 11 K (Feltman and Kelly blew the game for Woo.) Walter seems to be cracking up: 5.2 IP 6 H 4 ER 1 BB 7 K Rafaela 3-5 for Greenville Mayer 3-6 for Salem/ Bonaci 3-4 w 2 BB

Yes, I felt we've beaten the subject to death, that's why I surprised you said I never answered the question.

Congrats to the Celtics. They have built a fine team with more good pieces than my Bucks. They earned this series win. Not having Middleton hurt the Bucks, but we still had our chances. I never expected Grant Williams to be the 7th game difference maker, but the Celts have done this over and over. Another game, it was Horford. You guys have nice support people beyond your solid 3: Tatum, Brown & Smart. Bets of luck. Just don't let the Warriors win it all. I think you'll beat the Heat.

I did not know you asked about trusting Bloom. I think, if you read and understood my posts, you'd know my answer is yes. I trust Bloom to build a winning team in 2023 and beyond. I think he is building the farm up for the extended future, and we've yet to see those results, which should be expected. It's very hard to build a farm taht produces ML ready players in less than 3 years, with one of them being a year where there was no minor league action. I think next winter will be very telling, and I might be proven wrong. He has not done all that well with his larger contract FA signings. Story, so far. Richards. Perez I and Perez II. I think he has a good eye for talent that doesn't take $150M to or more to obtain. He's swung and missed a lot, but that too should be expected when seeking gems in the rough. After this season, there is no longer any budget excuses, unless Henry puts on the brakes, this coming winter, but I doubt that happens. BTW, I never meant to even imply you were afraid to answer any question I have ever asked you.

Amazing. 6 walks in the game, but 3 in one inning- followed by a FC.

For the fourth time, I've said you don't have to answer, but when you assign fealty motives for me asking why 2 posters chose offer him nothing, I kind of hoped for a reason other than one that I suggested MIGHT be a reason. It was not meant as a criticism. I genuinely wanted to know why people chose nothing. I never thought about the idea that the other choices were so bad, one might think nothing was closer to their opinion. That's on me, but all it takes is for someone to say that a bit sooner, but then again, nobody is obligated to clarify anything they write here. Nobody is saying you have to answer. It's a delusion you are still holding onto. It's your right to be deluded, too. Carry on. (not that you need my permission to carry on.)

Yes, I read that and repeated your reply in a post. Not answering is your choice. That way, nobody can ever say you were wrong. (Not implying that was your intention- just pre-empting a misguided counter attack.)

You are so clueless. Where do I even come close to saying I didn't like that 2 people offered nothing. I actually asked them why no offer at all... like not even something like $5M/1? This is "how it all started?" What got started? Can I ask why someone chose their choice? Are you sending investigators to determine why I broke protocol? You really are something! I didn't like the choices offered in this poll, either. None really captured my opinion. I was curious why some chose offer nothing. I tried to think of why they maybe chose that answer. If I was wrong about the dishonor part as a possible reason, then fine. I never said that was the only reason why someone chose that option. Instead of reading motives into my statement, why not actually answer why you chose nothing, until now? Why be so obtuse?

Again, I've said twice you don't have to answer. Stop pretending people are saying something they are not saying. I stated my opinion that I think you should provide your ideas or plans for building a staff, since you seem to have an opinion on everyone else's plans. It's not about changing anyone's mind. I happen to agree with you on much of what you said about our farm pitching and extending Eovaldi. Asking someone's opinion is not trying to change their mind. Again, you are reading into things that are not said or even implied.

So, if they DFA him, tonight, what will you say?

It's pointless debating someone who cannot understand how debating goes, then when cornered, he says, "I told you I'd just change the question," or something like that.

Please! Stop. It's not just about Eovaldi.

This is totally false. You bashed me for criticizing Cora and still saying I'm glad we have him as our GM. Specifically, yes, you did. You are still saying it now and missing the context. Not surprising.

Yes! Go on vacation, Celtics! Go Bucks!
