Google says he topped off at 96-98. Must have been a long time ago.

Unfortunately, he appears to have lost his fastball velocity.

WTF did this organization see in this guy?

SHOCkER. Dude throws junk.

How’s your fastball? Cuz this dude’s is weak.

Just noticed that.

Done. What next?

Ur-giggity time.

Colson is broken.

Huge Braden.

Yep, he had to swing at a good pitcher’s pitch because it was too close to take.

Wow, that wasn’t even close on the review.

Don’t forget to strap it on.

Yes, they did. The $7.3 million remaining of the final year of Gausman’s contract ($23 million for 2026).

You mean @ron883, right?

Getz pretty much said this as well in a post trade deadline video. That they have top guys and lower level guys but not the in between prospects that were mostly traded at the deadline.

Do we know what happened to him? His strikeouts and hits allowed still look good. But his walks are way up and appear to be the difference. Did he just lose his command/control?

Don’t let that stop you.

I wonder if he had his pornstache already in college?

I would have been willing to give up whatever the Sox equivalent would have been to what the Cubs gave up for rental Gausman — Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene. Two tiny slappy prospects.

Exactly, and it can get quite pricey and tough to find the parts these days. I was into the physical arcades cabinets for a bit but I quickly realized how much space they take up. Cool to have a little arcade gaming room though with physical cabinets.

It’s the legit newest portable model from Interactive Technologies — Golden Tee GO PGA TOUR. I bought it new and sealed in box on Facebook Marketplace. All the previous non-PGA TOUR models/arcades can no longer get software updates. This will get an update with new courses, etc. in October. You need a subscription to play online, track your stats, and get the updates. It is like $120 per year but you can just pay like $13 bucks for a single month in October and get the online update for 2027. I also thought about building my own PC emulator for Golden Tee but I was too lazy. However, TeknoParrot recently released emulated versions of Golden Tee up to 2019, so it’s very doable… https://teknoparrot.com/en/Compatibility Previously, the best and latest version of Golden Tee available via ROM emulation was 2006.

Yes, I do the same thing on drives and long second shots. The podium is super durable and took me a while to put together. It’s held together with numerous cam screws and cam locks. The actual Golden Tee system is just the deck part of it and it drops right into the podium snugly. Basically it doesn’t move when I put the WHAMMY on it, the podium or the deck. This is my “kids are leaving for college” midlife crisis purchase and hobby. 🤣

And are they going with three catchers on the roster or is one of Romo/Quero headed to Charlotte?

Not a catcher, no, and I was fine with the Bart acquisition. It just didn’t work out due to a random injury. However, Getz obviously had the prospects to trade for a rental starter, even after the Castillo trade. It doesn’t appear that Getz ever considered rentals since he even mentioned the additional year(s) of control for all the players he acquired at the deadline. He pretty much said it himself. That was the mistake.
