Schriffen was actually talking about our team’s baserunning, not Altuve.

LOL.

Horrible parenting.

After a heart-breaking 22-21 loss to Lincoln-Way East, BR is now 1-1 after routing Woodlawn 69-0. Freshman QB Sam Holcomb has likely won the starter job after this performance. https://www.maxpreps.com/m/news/q6mOoZrdpE6lq4SYZtV50A/football-recap-brother-rice-skates-past-woodlawn-with-ease.htm Marquee Network has picked up their game this Friday (8/4) — 5A State Champs St. Francis against 7A State Champs BR.

This fuckin guy…

The only way the Hicks/Sandlin trade can really be a bust is if Gage Ziehl turns into a better starter than Sandlin. Otherwise, it’s just money that would have stayed in Jerry’s pocket.

Pretty sure very few people said this. You must be thinking of the Cease trade.

Schriffen should be fired for this sort of insensitivity! You know this wasn’t just a slip of the tongue. Simply unacceptable. Jerry, you must replace this guy immediately!

“YEAH BUDDY!!!”

He needs to practice his STROKIN harder to gain those additional inches.

Jerry will technically still be in charge of the team by the time Murakami becomes a free agent. However, since a new contract would likely impact the payrolls of teams under Ishbia’s ownership going forward, it would make sense if Jerry discussed a potential contract extension with Ishbia to see if he is onboard with keeping Mune around in the future. Ultimately, Jerry would still be the decision maker due to the timing of the end of Murakami’s contract.

“YOU THINK HE IS GUNNA BE GOOD NEXT YEAR? I DON’T KNOW…” 🤣🤣🤣

“What about Danks?”

I posted it above. I wonder if the Sox just don’t like him for some reason. Seems like he still plays better defense than Pham per Fangraphs but there may be some other reason.

Neither team chose to call up Pham to their big league team to retain his services for their playoff run. Is this not true?

Ironically, many posters said he wasn’t a fit. But we just acquired the much older version.

I’m a bit surprised they didn’t just bring back a different old friend who appears to have been available, if they wanted a righty bench bat to face lefties. I wonder if they just don’t like him much.

Here you go again, misrepresenting things that other people say that you don’t agree with. Where is anyone weeping over this move? Or I need to “grow a pair” because I don’t agree with the move? It just seems like a bit questionable to add a 38 year old who is likely done. Also, while you chose to single out one team that chose not to retain Pham in the Mets who aren’t in contention, I did mention two other potential playoff teams in the Orioles and Phillies that dropped Pham like a bad habit.

Who wouldn’t want this veteran leader on their team?!?

Don’t try to use this kind of logic around these parts. Yes, Getz dumped three better outfielders to wind up with old man Pham for the playoff run. The same Pham that apparently wasn’t good enough for three other teams to retain this season in the Mets, Orioles, and Phillies. Last night’s broadcast provided the answer — Venable likely requested Pham’s acquisition because he liked him in 2022 when he was the hitting coach for Boston. He must have been impressed by the -0.3 bWAR that Pham put up for Boston in the second half of that season. The Castillo and Pham acquisitions appear to provide further proof that Getz thinks that he can strike gold for a few months to a year with aging players nearing retirement, similar to the old Kenny and Hahn strategy that usually failed.

I’ll take multiple choice answer C) neither.

Just heard this on the post-game show and there’s the answer. It was a request from Venable that Getz should have declined.

Getz could have just gotten him for free in the offseason when the Rockies non-tendered him. Then, they could have also had Adams pitching for them right now. Gotta love deadline moves that make your team worse.
