Moose Milligan

Well, I hate Blake Snell. The end.

He wasn't that good when I started. I dunno what changed. He's still only 2.5 stars, I'm not sure how he's still raking despite not having a higher ranking but I'll take it.

True, good point. But Tanner Scott hasn't done really well for the Sox, ERA's of 5.76 and 4.70. To your point though, Kyle Stowers has been called up and OPSing at .966. Granted it's 176 plate appearances but I wouldn't have expected any stretch like that for him.

Probably because there's no way the real life GMs would trade Vaughn for Mancini and others. The Red Sox wouldn't trade Benintendi and Downs for what I gave them. The computer seriously overvalued Tanner Scott That doesn't mean I wouldn't trade those guys in real life if given the reign to do so. I'd cut Davis before my butt hit my office chair on the first day, put Cobb up for sale and start pounding the phones to see what I could get for everyone else.

I mean...who's to say they won't be cut by Memorial Day? You don't know. Crack a beer and celebrate my good man! ?

First item was to cut Chris Davis. Second was to trade Alex Cobb, but no one wanted him. So I cut him, too. And then took a lot of joy when the Red Sox picked him up and I pounded him when he came on in relief and rallied to beat them. Traded Mancini and others to the White Sox for Andrew Vaughan who's turned into a stud. Traded Givens, Tanner Scott, Jose Iglesias to the Red Sox for Benintendi, Jeter Downs and Connor Wong. Rutschman is looking like an MVP candidate type. It's been fun.

Traded him. I traded pretty much everyone, except Austin Hays who's turned into a 35 homer, low OBP type for me. I've zoomed ahead to 2023. It's now May 23rd, 2023 and I'm 26-23 and a half game out of first place. Pitching is still below average but starting to come around some.

Means was terrible for me, too.

That'll never happen. While Tony Clark is a jerk for digging his heels in here, it's what he's gotta do as the MLBPA president. Giving on this issue would be a slippery slope for them moving forward. The MLB owners want a cap, the MLBPA is so incredibly strong and they don't want to give an inch. Ever. Including at a time like this. I don't see how the MLBPA agrees to play this year, really. Which is unfortunate.

Name some names, foolio.

Watching some of the KBO. It's nice to watch some sports but...I don't think I'll be watching much more. i don't know who any of these guys are. And I'm pretty much out of stuff to watch on Netflix.

Maybe?

What if Boldenone cures COVID-19? Dude might just be ahead of the game.

I liked getting Aquino. Well done.

It was. I was kinda hoping he went 3-4 with a couple of dingers or something. Agreed, Nick gets lost in this conversation. What is it about the lefthanded swing that makes it so pretty? Is it how they fall off to the first base side naturally?

Here's hoping he recovers. He seems like a really good dude.

Just cut him man. Just do it.

Hays has turned into a pretty good player in my sim. I locked him up long term.

With a last name like Wockenfuss, you expect something goofy.

I was going to see how those stances worked out for Cal that day but unfortunately they didn't play https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/?date=1988-05-17

Yeah, I'll pass on the KBO if I gotta see Mike Wright.

Well, maybe I'll watch some then. Who's there? If you tell me Tyler Wilson I won't be happy.

You can't kick Chris Davis to the curb in those other games.
