It’s true but to Jason’s credit, that seems to be related to the cerebral palsy.

Banks?

It's like a 12 year old using excel for the first time put that together.

Holcomb looks fine on the sideline. But Fenwick still got stomped by BR and their backup QB Rocco Galasso 42-21. Top 5 HS teams are Loyola, LWE, BR, ESL, and MC. Playoffs are gonna be must watch.

He must be ok now then.

If a play-by-play announcer is asking the same question so frequently that it becomes a meme or a cliche, something's wrong with the broadcast. If John and Steve and the producer think viewers are intently interested in 3-0 count strategy, then Steve should know to talk about it without being repeatedly prompted. If Steve doesn't jump in on his own and John thinks there's value to the viewers in bringing it up, then the burden is on John to tell us why we should care. (Baseball Reference actually tracks each team's swing percentage on 3-0 counts, so that could be an interesting way into the discussion. And even John saying something like,"Yesterday, Vargas swung at a 3-0 pitch, but that was with a big lead" gives viewers context and tees up Steve to talk about how strategy differs in different situations.) Repetition is inevitable over a 162 game season, but the best announcers are always looking for opportunities to bring new information to the viewers, rather than asking the same question the same way again and again.

That asshole?

Mattress Mack came through for a whole lot of people I know 😁

I think I’d put aside my personal happiness for one baseball season for 18 mil. But, that’s just me….

Unless it's Tom Hardy

The white guys from London ruin the daps too

Damn, if my former data presentation boss saw that he'd rip that guy a fucking new one. You can't have that last column middle aligned and red on white is a no no. White text with black background looks much better on screens if you want to get a little spicy with it.

One of the most fun lineups and teams in MLB history. But they never got the ring. That's a shame.

Also big ups to Teel for shouting out the Youtuber that does the funny slightly leaned into NYC metro Paisan accents. What an awesome thing.

We are talking about guys who were on 2024 roster and 2026 roster

That Cleveland team was an absolute juggernaut. They went 100-44 in that shortened season. 112 win pace in a normal one.

did any analytics/projection system come close to forecasting Miguel Vargas' 2026? just curious hopefully, Billy Carlson can similarly pick up his offense, but that's far from assured a full year of health would be good, though...at least

I've told this one before: was at a pretty low point in my life. Was feeling sorry for myself taking classes as a super senior in N. MI at some podunk college to finish my (very expensive) degree. Wasn't working, my parents were about ready to kick me out of the nest and I almost got into a fist fight with my dad one day, which would have been the worst idea in my life. The Sox ended up helping us resolve some things and we cried together when they won. A really neat thing and not unique based on all the 2005 stories I've been reading from people here and on X. My dad died not long after that sadly, but I know he's watching from above. He used to leave the TV up loud when it was bedtime so I could listen to the games as I fell asleep. Just amazing memories of him and our relationship with each other and the Sox.

"Southside Samurai" was eventually copied by mlb.com fwiw. Plus, you already have the Japanese national/WBC teams called Team Samurai in reference to their fighting spirit/honor/discipline.

That seems astoundingly low. Weren't all the predictions in the $1.5-2 billion range...without a roof?
