That’s not to say the film isn’t enjoyable! But the book is masterful.

You won’t die alone. Malumud is brilliant and the book is far superior to the movie.

That’s why I’m wondering something is bothering him.

Yea he looks ginger up there. Bat looks very slow.

Agree 100 percent. As a great man once said: “you play to win the game.”

Bro, you have made this about yourself from jump. Have some self awareness.

Why did it offend you so much? This is the internet.

Your Kevin Brown hate is weird.

Agreed. I’ll start thinking about reaching for the panic button in the first week of June. We’ve seen how much of a f’ing crapshoot the playoffs are now. I’ll take 94 wins and WC. Let’s get in and roll the dice

I doubt that’s the case, but yea we aren’t making Ragans work at all. No plan it seems like.

The sky is the limit. He displayed DeGrom level dominance at times today.

He’s looked very good this spring. You won’t allow for the possibility that he has a good year? The FO clearly likes him and they’ve done a pretty good job so far in most facets.

Eh I think Baker Tate and Cano and Coloumbe can be pretty solid in short relief. Kimbrel is who he is. He’ll get the job done in the regular season but it may be scary sometimes. Then some have said Baumann looked good this spring and if so, we can slot him into a higher leverage situation.

Looks like he had some trouble repeating his delivery today. Especially at the top of it as his hands separated. Yea he’ll be frustrating I think.

Turn the Ben Shapiro podcast down, I can’t hear you.

I feel like there would be pretty huge legal implications if he were to do that. Not sure how billion dollar sales work, but I imagine there were hundreds of pages of contracts that have been signed. Or I hope at least . But I do share some of your reticence that things may not get better. “The devil you know… etc”

Aside from the “liftoff” comment, he doesn’t really do that it seems.

Basallo is the answer I think. 2027.

Why wasn’t he just included in a built-out version of the Burnes deal then?

About 15 years ago I saw Cal at Pepe’s on Falls Road (great Philly cheesesteak.) My teenage brother was maybe a bit star struck and staring and Cal said, while trying to access the the potato chip rack, verbatim, “get out of my way.” That singular focus and drive to overcome obstacles could be invaluable for Gunnar.

He also seems like a d-bag.

I worry you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
