Once the ball gets rolling on that kind of thing it gains momentum and even guys who think otherwise because of this little thing called making adjustments are afraid to be the lone wolf. You'll be remembered longer if you're wrong going against the grain than you will for being wrong as part of a group wrong. Plus better to limit the young foreigners earning power. Owners could be driving that narrative just like they are trying to limit the HS kids in the draft. It follows suit that if you do that , you're older when you reach Free Agency and thus less super long, super expensive contracts. They hate those and Mune was in line to get one then all of a sudden he wasn't and he'll be 2 years older when he's gets another chance.

Generally speaking, billionaires aren’t exactly known for having the mindset of “You know what? I think I have enough money”

The Sox just spent two years not trading Luis Robert and watching his value go to zero because they didn't want to pick up money, and needing to be convinced to pick up Mune. I also wouldn't be shocked if the ramping up of payroll quickly for the TLR era has some kind of traumatic effect on Jerry like we saw with his refusal to sign long term pitcher contracts after a flop or two. I will believe the horse has changed his stripes when I see it.

Not to mention the new draft rules seem to have been directly aimed at them while they ignored all the advantages given to the Astros who actually knew how to rebuild because they lost a crapload of games while Hahn and Co. actually kept signing free agents and won too much and never got the top pick.

Mike Schmidt didn't exactly come out blazing either as I recall from the back of his baseball card.

It was either by Fallout Boy in the 2019 comedy-horror Banana Splits movie ( I think 5 Nights at Freddy's might have been inspired by that movie) or... the Dickies version in Kick Ass It's also been in Boss Baby. And the Original Show goes back to 1968 .

I don't think he is planning on dying THIS year. They could be a year or two away anyway. He doesn't plan on turning the team over to Ishbia before 2029, so I suspect he assumes he will have more chances. Plus, I'm not really sure he cares if he wins or not. His priorities are not the same as ours.

Antonacci!

I met Don Kolloway while having a beer at McCuddy's I believe in 1977. He was a pleasure to talk to, a real gentleman.

He's become this years Alexander Albertus. I hope he gets back soon.

Great hearing from you, get your connection squared away and post more.

Great dive and slide at home by Antonacci to take the lead on Colson's double. He correctly used his (bare) left hand to reach for the outside of the plate (not the mitt on his right hand) ....which made me wonder which hand the sliding mitt should be worn on. Great base running though on a clutch hit to go ahead 3-2 in the 8th.

🤬

Players decide the fate of their team in some cases… so they’d be fools not to see what is happening, accept it, embrace it, and run with it while incorporating it into the bigger pitcher of sustained success. There is a middle ground and I’m hopefully it will be found.

Dude is pitching out of his mind and all I can attribute it to is an increase in control. Last year he was good but this year in half the innings of his prior load, he’s been great.

If I said to you, Uh oh, CHONGO!….what should you do?

Incidentally, the GOAT walk off team.

Correct. Getz knew this was a rebuilding year going in, and if he’s as good as he looks, he won’t interrupt his schedule to overpay while prospect trading for short term gain in 2026/27. If he had designed to go for it this season, he would have set up the pitching staff way different already before the season started. Not to mention the outfield

^^^^CORRECT!

Thats fine. Call it what you wish.

With all due respect to my elders, the original show/song is older than my parents 😅 But I heard a cover of it in a movie once and it's been an occasional earworm for me since.
