If Kevin Brown were announcing this game he’d be like “and Bautista gave up the go-ahead homer to a guy named Elias, fittingly enough it was a guy named Elias who brought him to Baltimore.”

I'm expecting that cringe Seattle radio sports host to post "King Nothing" in response to Bautista's outing tonight.

Does someone else post for you in the game threads that also has a thing for making snide comments about him?

Because it's constant.

Even when he was on the IL you were doing it.

O'Hearn makes a nice play, you take a shot at Mountcastle.

 

Again let the comments go by dude.  Why are you getting worked up.  I make most of my comments on game threads and lots are spur of the moment reaction to some misadventure.   Why dont you put me on ignore?

    • Oakland is in a weird place for sure.  If they truly are going to try to build for being good in 2028 for the big splash in Las Vegas.  Then trading for major league or even major league ready players makes little sense.  In that situation you want to trade for a large mass of highly regarded lower tier guys.  But that does not really make sense either to me.  The odds of more than one panning out is not that high.  I guess the best thing for Oakland would be sit on Miller and see how well he does for the next three years and deal him with two/three years of control left.  If he is as skilled as we think he is he would get more in return with a longer track record and health history.   Nothing makes sense to me for Oakland to trade him.  I would make a team over pay.  
    • Chuck Thompson for me.  As a kid he was the voice of summer.
    • It's not just you. She was fine. Ben calls Irvin Irving, they all make mistakes. Is she the best announcer we have? Not even close. Is she as bad as people are making her out to be? Not even close. Hive mind is strong on this type of subjective topic.
    • Super encouraged that Bradish stuff looks as nasty as last year.  His metrics are even better so far: whiff% 30.4 (vs 25.9 last year), groundball% 59.1 (vs 49.1 last year).  As Big Ben mentioned, he has upped usage of 2 seamer in lieu of 4 seamer while rest of offspeed offerings are similar to last season for slider and curveball. 
    • He has a lot of bad luck with injuries/illness, etc. When he's healthy, he's average at the plate and slightly above in the outfield I would say. I would definitely take him (healthy) over McKenna. Hell, McKenna went unclaimed a couple weeks ago.  Do you think Hays would go unclaimed?
    • I saw Gunnar kinda of pose after he hit it and though, "That's out" then the camera shows the outfielder standing there looking up and i was like, "Rats" then Newman made it out to be a can of corn and thoughts "Double rats." Then it become a home run! 🤦‍♂️
    • The Robo/challenge system in AAA has to help a kid with super natural knowledge of the strikezone.  Then he gets to the majors and all that goes out the window and umpires got a dinner date at Ruth Chris Steak House and the strikeouts pile up.   I want robo umps in the worse way.  I made post about wanting it 15 years ago or more.  I think they are all gone now but I wish I could find them.  We are so close to dumping the "joy" of trying to figure out what 60 year old fat dude behind the plate thinks is a strike tonight.
