Nasty change.

I am. I have sort of avoided it out of a curmudgeon anti-podcast bias. But I should check it out.

I hate talking on the TV during play of all sorts. The MST2k style banter of this thread is different.

Cthulhu is a Red Sox fan.

That went better.

It has oomph but no mojo.

That was a hit me hard fastball. Lordy.

Yikes. His fastball looks like the straight dead one tonight.

I work at a place that has a turf scientist.

I’m way late to the thread. But that was good Kimbrel. Shots for everyone!

But the service time?

What is this thread about? I ask because I have gotten confused lately. I am an old MF.

Such post-modern pessimism on spring. “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking 13”

They tacitly did when they approved the move. Where the Athletics would play as they waited for their pleasure garden to be built was the elephant in the room (pun intended). The owners washed their hands of the mess.

I think another factor in the delay is to have a reserve of flesh blood into what is a meat grinder of a season. Let him AAA and chill for a bit, it will lesson his overall season strain. And when he comes up it will be like we traded for the missing piece.

Westburgmania!!!

He’s been like that more often than not for several years.

I don’t enjoy watching Kimbrel…it’s all waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It’s the benefit everyone gets from putting on the tools of ignorance. Locking up an elite catcher is an easy move for both sides.

Lucy just sold the team.

RIP. He loved the city and the team.

Top of the list of people covering things up are Ohtani’s lawyers—for themselves not their client. The first they heard of this was when the LA times called them?

Once an organization gets competent, it’s difficult discerning what are marginal innovations, truly radical insights, and simply stars fortuitously aligning.

Well yeah, my snide remark was more about the Cohen hype than how to build a team—the recipes for which haven’t changed much for a decade plus or so.
