Honestly that was your least funny post Ron. Kinda bullshit and I wouldn’t do that on your streak

Do know if there is there general support for the Tampa stadium plan among residents of the area? It sounds like approval is very much up in the air. Something has to give - the Rays are winning and they still can't get people to come to the park. This isn't the first year they've fielded a good team, either. Unlike the White Sox or the Royals, I don't think it's debatable whether the Rays really need a new stadium. One way or another, they are NOT going to be staying at Tropicana Field. If they do get approval to build a stadium next to Raymond James, I suppose the second question is whether that would fix their attendance woes. I'd image the location would have to help to some extent.

Great game yesterday! Fedde was very good. Let's get some starting pitching help[p this weekend

Old friend alert

He was literally traded t the Brewers a few days after lol

Without a doubt. Met's are a soul sucking org. Wouldn't wish playing for them on a dog.

You'll also see Martin in that grouping. R.Ray is pretty much the exact opposite. He has the very worst ratio. Same with Burke. Detmers and N.Martinez both feature prominently as flyball pitchers, too. T.Rogers of Baltimore has the best recent string of pitching going back 40-50 IP.

it was a very old tweet, someone just bumped and I thought it was new

Sorry to hear that, but getting cucked by PCA is completely understandable.

We legit!

true story, my ex was a Cubs fan. And our relationship was bookended by the Cubs Sox series last August and this year's Series

My MLB Sox game was blacked here in SW Florida so I watched the Rays feed but I caught the Vargas homer on Facebook with Schriffen, he was just horrible on that call, something he really needs to work on. I’ve sort of been in his corner thinking he would be more than adequate by now but now I’m not sure if there’s any hope.

It’s crazy how much Buxtons body has betrayed him.

What did he put out?

We are now less than two 1/2 days from the trade deadline. One thing to think about ahead of the deadline is what is the rotation plan is for 2027. At the moment, you have Burke & Martin as locks and Kay as a solid back of the rotation option. Then there is a massive group of arms who could be in the mix for the other two spots between Schultz, McDougal, H. Smith, Sandlin, S. Smith, Adams, & Thorpe. This latter group includes a former All Star and four former Top 100 prospects, but all of them come with question marks. Theoretically, we should feel awesome about this group with the breakthroughs of Burke & Martin. Obviously that really isn’t the case as many of these guys have gone backwards this year and the others haven’t had a chance to prove themselves at the majors due to injury recoveries or other factors. I would NOT feel good about starting the 2027 season with two of these guys in my rotation and even moreso not when that would make Kay my effective #3 SP. As such, one rotation upgrade is an absolute must and two is probably ideal if we’re really going for it. We should have cash to burn this offseason and adding a pricey free agent SP should the priority. No doubt Skubal is who we should target, but obviously that’s super unlikely and not worth planning around. The other best free agent SPs are Gray, Gausman, Ray, Peralta, Woodruff, Holmes, Mize, Singer, Flaherty, Boyd, Martinez, May, Rogers, Ryan, Griffin, & Bubic. King & Burnes also have opt-outs. That’s an incredibly deep free agent class and at our single biggest area need. Ultimately, I bring all this up for two reasons. First, many of these guys will be available at the deadline (by my estimate, 11 of the 19 guys above). If you really like one of them and plan to pursue them aggressively in FA, why not spend a bit more now at the deadline to bring them into the fold and give yourself an extended sales pitch window. Second, does the depth of this market change the thinking on adding a controllable SP this deadline? If a salary floor were to be implemented, adding a second pricy SP would be the best way to solve it. In conclusion, I love me some Reid Detmers and think he would slot in perfectly between Burke & Martin, but am now leaning towards going the rental route at the deadline. If I could get him for a pitching heavy package (guys in the group of seven listed way above), I’d certainly do it. But if it requires Carlson, then I think I probably pass for now and save that chip for later. I’d still try to add two rentals SPs this deadline and make sure one of them is a free agent priority.

why is Nightengale putting out fake info and stirring twitter into a frenzy lol

CBS Sports this AM has the Sox post season chances at 72.3% and projected wins at 84.3%.

And his nut. Unfortunately, we are still working on Jerry’s coin purse.

Road trip

Why?

That would be awesome.
