He hasn't been the guy he was in 2020 and might not be again, but he still has value at a 1yr/12M contract. I'd certainly consider it.

Sounds more like speculation at this point.

He only had 89 RBI, one more and he'd have jumped from #6 to #1.

He's going to sit against lefties.

Not saying it isn't still the obvious fit, but it hasn't happened yet.

Isn't that the same thing we've been saying since 2020?

You know what would help if they have to face Texas next year? Not giving up 7 runs a game.

Naw, even the Rays managed 19K.

I can see it now, World Series games with 10K attendance.

There are no winners here. Update.

I can see Mountcastle having a season in which he just stays hot. Sort of like Schoop in 2017.

He doesn't strike me as the type to honor his word.

I'm fine with the profession, I question folks being armchair diagnosticians.

What if two wildcard teams advance? They have to play at a neutral site?

They missed in 2014.

And Roch promised to do something or other if Adam Loewen didn't stay with the O's when they dropped him off the 40. He's already walked it back. He MEANT that he'd retire from XM Radio where his contract was already up. But we get to watch/listen/read about him getting crap over it, which to me at least has some value.

I'm not much for excuses. Ohh we can't win because the big bad market teams spend more money than we want to. It's been shown that a team with a smaller payroll can win if properly run.

How many of the teams with the highest payroll in their division won their division this season?

Mad Dog said he was going to "retire on the spot" if the Phillies lost, so we have that going for us, which is nice.

You don't think they are excited about having the AZ market represented?

Baseball reference does indeed list The Gravedigger as his nickname. Thirty-five bucks a grave was pretty good money back then, of course it helped to have an in with the guy running the show, darn nepo babies!

Would be so cool having Gunnar bag your groceries during the off-season!

If Gunnar can combine the second half hitting with the first half walk rate...
