Rick Hahn can bite me

And JR’s budget is the walls .....

Don’t disagree with anything you said. I was just reacting to the idea that athletes couldn’t behave like children

You’re right. People are acting as if a grown man would do something as childish as cut up a jersey he doesn’t like.

Yeah, but his disrespect was sincere, so it’s okay.

And you don’t trust the guy that wants to run a Chevy dealership when he tells you he’s offering a Lambo.

If you can’t afford a weak bat from a position that is 1/9 of your lineup and primarily defensive (and often better D than the starter) then the correct answer is : “we didn’t build or roster correctly”

Poppy, I can’t tell if you incessant optimism wears me out or is wearing me down ...

RH: “something something insular something”

Is everyone assuming at this point that 40% of the rotation is going to be cobbled together from 4-5 different guys over the course of the season? On a team with WS aspirations? That’s the plan? The thought of that just brings back nightmares of Ozzie’s whole DH-by-committee extravaganza.....

How does a guy who hasn’t thrown over 120 innings in 4 years solve the need for innings in the back end of the rotation? Everyone talks about “bridge to Kopech” but then what also happens when Cease hits 130-140 innings or so?

Just dawned on me: let’s assume for a minute that the “it’s a business” argument holds water. If that’s the case, and a decade ago you were top ten payroll and now you’re middle of the pack, what does that say about the way you managed your “business” relative to your competitors?

Are we talking about the same Bob?

My kingdom for an owner that: a - knows how to build an organization b - give a fuck

But there’s some stiff competition.
