Could we possibly ban the phrase 'I get it' from sports talk shows?

Of course if we did there would be a lot of blank air time which I understand is not desirable but even if 2/3 of the show were blank air as a listener i'd still be getting the exact same info.

I think the solution is to just not watch sports talk shows. :)

Exactly!!!!! Once you've spent 20 minutes here at the OH it's hard to descend into a mindset that allows you un-ironically listen to broadcast sport talk. The best I can do is a kind of MST3K imitation for a few minutes before moving on to something more informative like an infomercial for a new juicer.

      38.  We have 23 players in AAA, so presumably could reserve 15 more players from lower levels.  That would leave about 11 or so unprotected.

      How many can you protect on the reserve list?

      Nunez is the only one I really care about, and that was only after reading Tony's glowing writeup.

      Welp I guess they didn’t protect Burch after all.

      Elias on MLB Network: Holliday is a guy we are counting on

      Nor should anyone. Holliday still has talent and his 2024 hopefully won't be a harbinger of things to come. He's going to end up a good major league player, the question for me is, will he become an impact player?  My answer to that is. Maybe? It's not out of the realm of possibility but as I've said in other posts, he's got things to improve upon, several of which (arm strength, and physicality limits due to his size) are not something he can do much about. Saying that, before people (not you per se) poo-poo his power potential, I provide this as proof that the power potential is there. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=5c6b3b25-fb5c-45a3-9ad1-0eb167a4c8b8  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=7cc4a5fb-6f8b-4ae4-abf4-87963225ec05 The flashes are what gives me hope he can still be an impact player at the major league level. We all know he's a hard worker too, so I imagine he'll get the most out of his ability. We all need to remember that players need to fail before they will make meaningful changes even if professional coaches are telling him he has to change. If he has "Ohtani swing" working in spring training then perhaps the change is for real ad he's ready to get it going at the major league level in 2025.

      What is even funnier is I did not even take more than the recommended dosage.  One pill of each.  I think it was a weird reaction to the Ambien.  Lots of stories about people sleep walking and sleep eating on it.  I entered a different dimension and was in an Adam Jones Kangaroo Court dimension.   I basically have not had Ambien since.  Maybe once or twice in twelve years.  Who knows what I might do on it?
