Watching the commercials of young people painting their walls I realize I am too old for that crap now.  I aint wasting my time or hurting my arm and back to cover up some stains.  LOL

Urias is so graceful playing 3rd base. It's like watching a dance artist perform a masterpiece.

Adley has made what would be some great throws to second if the baserunners were coming from third base,

Just looked and we have a night game Friday night.

No we don't.

We play at 2:20 Friday at Wrigley FIeld.

I said "almost a week".   Our next night game is Tuesday vs Tampa.

Yep, you're right. The schedule I pulled up was home schedule so it jumped to next week.

Weird that the Cubs would have a Friday afternoon game. I thought they did most night games now during the week.

I think all their Friday games at home.   Their night games are usually Mon-Thu for the most part (though I think they'd play on Sunday Night baseball on ESPN or Saturday night on Fox if asked).

I was bouncing around that umpirescorecard site a few weeks ago and I noticed an ump who had recently had two really great games behind the plate in a row, I think he was over 98% which is really rare.   So I made a mental note of his name so I would notice if he ever did one of our games.

Junior Valentine -- is behind home plate tonight.

He's been spot on tonight.

In the next 8 days we have:  

  • 2 days off
  • 3 weekday day games that I can't watch because I'lll be at work
  • a game on Peacock that I can't watch

So I can only watch two games after tonight before next Friday (Saturday & Tuesday).

I'll be having Oriole withdrawl symptoms by next Friday.

Seems like they are giving up some box office with Friday afternoon games instead of night games, but what do I know about the Cubs fans?

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      1. Where on the spectrum should Elias anchor between “let the kids play” vs. “sign proven bats”? 2. How do we get a right-handed bat to come here given Walltimore? 3. How many years do you think we should be willing to commit to a starting pitcher?  Where do you expect Elias to fall? 4. Between vets, rookies, and prospects, who can we trade / should we trade / do we trade for pitching or a bat? 5. What budget will ownership give to Elias? To what extent will he max out on his constraint? 6. What coaching and front-office personnel changes should/will we make? What about infrastructure or changes to org philosophies? 7. Whom, if anyone, should we try to extend, considering their agent and what they will likely demand financially?  8. For backup catcher, do we re-up McCann or go in a different direction? 9. Does it make sense to sign a blue chip reliever given the spotty track record of those signings (e.g., of 25 relievers signing for > $3MM last year, 2 had WAR of at least 0.5 in both fWAR and bWAR)? 10. Does Elias make any outside-the-box moves  (e.g., convert Akin to SP, sign a FA infielder, move JH to CF, find the next Suarez)?

      Hope to take my kids but it will depend on the ticket prices.  I couldn’t believe how expensive the tickets were when they were in DC
