But the whole premise that a woman wealthy enough to own a Major League franchise couldn’t afford a condo in Miami, especially if the team was winning and selling out games, struck me as a major plot flaw. And that’s ignoring how well Miami baseball teams clearly draw…

That movie made zero sense...

I get paid in the adoration of my readers. So, yeah, I might as well not exist...

For your viewing pleasure

Former Sox OF Kevin Mitchell, although he was with the Giants at the time...

They already field a team the same way the court system fields juries. Some Oakland resident checks his mail, sees the summons, and realizes he's playing RF that night.

Hey, that man once made a great running catch, high-fived the fan, and still got the throw back in time to double the runner off first base...

Just buy some licensing rights to "Roam" by the B-52's, change one word in the lyrics, and start that massive radio campaign!!

Or know we exist...

Johnny Damon tried raising his arm to disagree, but it was too weak. But Duran's arm is certainly weak and probably a big part of the reason he played 2B in college...
-
But what he does do that I like is any ball hit to an outfielder that requires two or three lateral steps to field suddenly becomes a potential double. He stretched enough singles into doubles last year to make up for a few missing stolen bases. What scares me about Duran was his .381 BABIP. Not entirely sure that is sustainable. Speed does help BABIP, but .381 is a bit much to expect...
-
The Dodgers looked a tad rusty, too. And for $70mill, one might think Ohtani would learn some basics about baserunning. Or do you have to pay more to get that aspect of his game?
-
I am hoping Whitlock's durability issues last year were related to his hip surgery in the off-season, but even then he has never thrown more than 120 IP in a season. And that was back in 2018, when he was pitching in A, A+ and AA ball...
-
Yes. Stop raiding the bullpen for starters. But the only way to do that would be to GO GET SOME STARTERS. The season is officially underway, and Montgomery is still available albeit clearly unlikely. Sleazinger and Lorenzen still need jobs and are reportedly only looking for 1 and 2 years respectively...
-
Hoping his time in RF is limited to emergency fill-in. Duran has the speed to cover RF at Fenway, but he really is not a good outfielder and doesn't seem to take advantage of that. I hope Cora deploys the Duran-Rafaela-O'Neill outfield or the O'Neill-Duran-Abreu outfield to start the season. If O'Neill is surprisingly not available, Duran-Rafaela-Abreu is probably the best alignment, but it leaves very little in the way of depth...
-
But when he played 2b there, he did so as a former shortstop. So technically, he is a former former shortstop…
-
There has been some criticism of the Sox repeated drafting of middle infielders. I present today’s starting defensive alignment for the San Diego Padres 1b: Jake Cronenworth, former shortstop 2b: Xander Bogaerts, former shortstop 3b: Tyler Wade, former shortstop SS: Ha-Seung Kim, current shortstop LF: Jurickson Profar, former shortstop CF: Jackson Merrill, former shortstop RF: Fernando Tatis, former shortstop DH: Manny Machado, former shortstop They just need JT Realmuto behind the plate…

Like those old bumper stickers in Atlanta. “Go Braves!! And take the Falcons With You!” Obviously when both teams were struggling heavily…

The A's drama should be easy for fans. Go if you want to. That franchise is leaving whether you go or not...

I would think it’s closer to Communism than Capitalism. It’s obviously not Communism, as the government doesn’t control any part of it…
-
It is odd that fans almost universally side with the players, who, let's face it, are no longer struggling financially. The entire system boils down to a few hundred people who cannot agree on how to divide up roughly ten billion dollars. I think their all in the wrong...
-
MLB has made some dumb rule changes recently, a list topped by the ghost runner, but one very good rule was limiting September call ups...
-
I do think at some point the Yankees have a spending limit. Can they/should they drop well over $100mill AAV on two corner outfielders (one with frequent injuries) and an oft-injured DH? They might do it, but I can see it causing some major problems. I would think Soto's agent should see that Soto has far more earning power than Judge. What would that extension look like to make Soto give up on free agency before his age 26 season?
-
All I know about Montgomery is he wants 7 years, per multiple reports. As for Snell, I only know 5 years $150mill was not enough...

I am living in a world where they see him as a solid target. Do not ruin my world. Let Henry do that a year from now...
