Home Run or Nothing article...
That is to say, it’s a crapshoot once you get to the postseason, but you’re going for frequency of production, not aggregate volume. A longball-only offense will give you aggregate volume that helps and evens out over a 162-game season, but you are likelier to enter a “famine” cycle in a short series compared to a diversified offense.

Home Run or Nothing article...
I have always felt that a one-dimensional HR / K offense is probably your best bet to get you to the postseason, but a multifaceted offense will tip the odds in your favor once you get there.

Five off season questions...
8 of those players have lost value from Opening Day...all but Antonacci you can argue about Sandlin but generally selling low on assets and buying high or close to peak doesn't work out very well and Antonacci has more value at 2B trading Meidroth at an all-time high and moving Antonacci is more logical but everyone will scream Chase is too important to move now and was in many ways the co MVP with Vargas

No way. We have the ammo to get an arm without giving up a major chip. Carlson, Schultz, Antonocci, McDougal, Sandlin, Martin, Wolkow, Bergolla, Quero Not saying we are going up get a top 10 arm with a package of 4/5 of them…but a very good SP

Texas Tech shamelessly supported Sorsby's attempts to sue his way into uniform—an attempt that ended when the Big 12 filed a checkmate lawsuit of its own. Sorsby dropped the fight, and that was that. But cocky Cody vowed vengeance on the documentary. “Looking back on it, I know that Texas Tech and I handled everything with integrity, and we did things the right way,” said Campbell, who also chairs the school’s Board of Regents. “I think this is something that could have been handled much more privately. We’re not going to forget about that, and I don’t think they’ll forget about it either when we’re up by 40 and still throwing the ball in the fourth quarter. That’s where the retribution will come."

Checks notes nobody can touch this MIL pen when Megill's unavailable they still have Uribe and Ashby for high leverage the problem is they're still 4-5 (2 starters/3 relievers) pitchers away and already spent $22-23 million on Castillo for 2027

It's personal preference. Mune Colson Vargas vs. Caminero Diaz Aranda what is the faith level right now for those first two Sox hitters? and the competition level now is a totally different animal

Yeah Yandy didn't go. But not being prepared to hit a 3-1 curveball right down the middle is really...something.

I don't think I've seen a team worse at recovering onside kicks than Texas. Well...maybe the Packers.

Trading Colson isn't going to get you a ToR arm... So Bonemer +++ depending on MLB proven profile as a frontline starter...

Obviously easier said than done, but trading for a TOR arm should be the #1 priority of the off-season for Getz. Adding depth (DH, RP, Backend SP) in free agency should be the easy part. Sadly I just still don’t expect this organization to be highest bidder on the few available top free agents
