If there's one thing the last decade has taught me, it's that over 30 year old released players always provide immediate production upgrades over young players. It's definitely that.

Sorry, catchers.

they should DFA their catcher, 3B then too.

fine if they decide to get andrus but Sosa can and will turn it around. Apparently he needs to go to AA after being at AAA for a month because he's had a tough time adjusting for a week. This after seeing post after post after any hitter has a solid week in the minors that they should be brought up immediately. Romy was also cast to the shadows last year after a bad week (though I would be fine if Romy was up).

Ok wow yeah just watched the Colas homer.

I just don’t care about mlb pipeline. By next spring their list will start to match BA and others mid years. But by that time BA and others that actually get looks will have moved on. I think they do decent work on the draft, but I just don’t much care for their farm stuff.

The Ringer has the bears at 30th in offense and 32nd in defense. I don't think the Bears are going to be good. But just kinda re-enforces my opinion that the nfl media is by far the worst of the bunch. 100% front-running, 100% vibes based. They dislike that the bears drafted Justin Fields out of turn, and therefore the new regime is not allowed to clear the cap for a year like they'd laud any other team for doing - because they didn't surround Justin Fields with the talent they like. Therefore - they must have the worst of everything. Would love to hear the rationale for how the Bears, who were 13th in DVOA last year against a brutal slate of top QBs, are going to be worse than the Falcons defense.

mlb is hard. Adley Rutschman looked terrible for 2 months. Now he's great. Rodriguez man. It was really weird for that guy to start off disappointing, because since he showed up in DSL he just never, ever disappointed when everyone else was. But it wouldn't hold. Because Jose Rodriguez never disappoints.

Among other things, really thrilled that Hendriks did not eff around. Feels good. Crowd is legit. Mentioned it a bunch but crowds this year have been fun, games have been fun, even when the product hasn't. We actually do deserve good things.

Correct. Sorry guys, just need to be patient. Lots of top prospects have been brutal to start just this year. It will come around.

God singles

Hell yea!!!! Oh

Wow. Phew.

Ka chow

Suck my fist ump

They hit it hard. 101 exit velo from Vaughn and expected BA of .600

Bummer, Davis Martin was crushing it the first two innings then I guess lost it. but Carlos Perez hit another homer.

@Eminor3rd I know KBO isn't your bag but thoughts?

Buddy, nobody believed we could harness the wildness of the cease. BULLPEN pitcher they said. How are the padres doing developing their big beautiful gore? Oh he's gone? How about paddock. WHAT HES GONE TOO AND SUCKS? Oh, how do we deal with injuries? Well l... we do terrible, you'll never make it to the big leagues before you are completely destroyed. Our sister franchise nearly killed a star player trying to give him a spinal tap for allergies.

It’s just a hilarious name. The guy has to make it for us all.

Carlos Jiminez is 20 and in year 2 of DSL but he sure has hit the ball well. Also last night's ACL game. Eesh, props to Claunch for some walks, but boy our later round college hitters are K'ing a ton.

as fed up as I am with this team, watching Cease/Cueto try and pull them out of the doldrums makes it hard to not watch their starts. BUT CAN WE SCORE SOME FIRST 5 INNING RUNS TONIGHT

I kinda don't buy the subtext unless it's confirmed. This is pretty boiler plate "just moved clubhouses" stuff. The Red Sox traded away Christian Vazquez and replaced him with a worse catcher. Is that an example of a place that wants to win? No, but it's the red sox. Not saying he isn't throwing shade, but this is not very blatant.

Can’t wait for @Kalapses Kaskade banner
