You should look into changing dealers.

I'm sure it's much more eloquent in the native language, translations are often dumb sounding.

I can’t believe Gunnar with his groundout robbed us of, “How many times do you see it?  A guy makes a great play int the field and then he comes up and __________”

Can’t believe we lost to Zach Davies. And by that I can totally believe it. 

For the life of me why this team, a GOOD team cant beat pitchers who are struggling and seem to fare better against elite pitchers....I am extremely worried about this series...we seem to always play poorly against Arizona...and we need every win we can get...not a good night for us...and the Rays finally lost...we couldn't beat crappy Davies....so frustrating..

Angel Hernández is back so that tells me enough  We have the tech and it's silly now to use it at this point.

I read on X/Twitter/Whatever that Angel Hernandez missed 22 (twenty-two) calls in the game yesterday. There were pitches in the middle of the strike zone being called balls. MLB had better get their business together. Fans will get fed up before long. This is not the 20th century, when there was no alternative and it was written off as "part of the game".

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
