I asked you a question. Heck you can have all the other teams Buck managed as well.

How many rings did the two get between them?

Who did they get back early? What lesson should have been learned?

Ungodly hour in St Pete is anything after 10 PM.

175 isn't reasonable, you have a dozen teams with a higher payroll. Maybe 250.

This is the same issue he had before right?

I don't think spin was fully integrated into pitching philosophy at that point. I also don't think anyone is going to leave spin or velocity on the table.

So if a 30 year old comes over from a foreign league he should be subject to the draft, make league minimum, and not be a MLB free agent until he's 36-37 years old? So you don't want anyone to come over. Got it. I'm done.

They would just stress their arm for even higher spin rates.

The smaller markets get a larger pool. Every team is capable of spending the maximum amount of money they are allowed to spend. Brooks Robinson signed with a crappy team because he knew he'd have a quicker path to the majors. As for Ohtani, he just would have stayed in Japan until he could come over as a free agent. That would have sucked for everyone. You do know he cost himself a lot of money coming over like he did right? I'd love to see you prove that the top international talent is all about the biggest pocketbook. Wait, unless you mean International Free Agents should be subjected to the draft? You can't mean that right?

Mayo hits right handed.

And he got sent back down.

He did throw one strike to Mayo, and somehow he didn't swing at that one.

Wow, strike three in the dirt. He should have walked on five pitches.

Interesting choice to swing at that pitch.

Not sure what you have against the players that you want the draft. There is a reason the players are fighting against it. It's all about lowering costs for the owners. I'm fine with your #1 and #3, for #2 I'd go with something impossible and have MLB cut all ties with gambling.

It's OK, it's not like Burnes is probably gone after this year and the clock on Adley and Gunnar is ticking.

The real kicker for me was when he forced Elias to get Soto for his bullpen!

I think he'd look a lot smarter if he had better pitchers to work with.

Except in blackjack if you lose the one hand you are still up from the five you won.

Insert Yellowstone joke here.

He looked kinda scared rounding the bases.

If only he had know about the Golden Tee cabinet in the locker room. He was missing that data point.

Please hitting a HR off of Bassitt is bottom of the barrel stuff.
