We should have had an option asking “and will you be happy or miserable” with 80% of the 92 and first place option apparently miserable

This game has been quite long yet I just said to myself “whoa it’s already the ninth”

The Orioles were actually very good most of his tenure!

Our Padres SME has arrived

Tepera pitching like he has really is a boost. Let's us use our non-kimbrel/hendriks guys for good inning matchups and not need to throw crochet and bummer in every tough situation.

biggest jinx in history

obviously that's hilarious?

The other really fun thing is I can't imagine a worse offseason to try and need to offload Manny, from the abundance of elite MI talent to the CBA. Truly a hilarious situation, I am cackling.

lol sorry, I saw it was trending and am enjoying the padres schadenfreude too much. (also if he was traded it confirms my priors during the pursuit that you can always get out of big contracts)

It is extremely, extremely funny to me that padres are likely to finish below .500.

his double play suckage is why i'd rather just have leury at this point (let alone offense)

I'd say yes, though I'd note 2b has always felt like Leury's worst infield position ironically. SS and 3B I like him fine, 2b he seems to make more errors. But we are comparing him to cesar so.

I don't think that's a controversial take

I wish I could remember which poster kept tracking Gavin Sheets through birmingham as I was like "meh can't hit for power as a 23 year old 1b who cares" because they hopefully are enjoying this. That is just an unbelievably sweet swing the way only a left handers can be.

something I forgot to ask is what injury happened to Bryce Bush? Never remember an update but he was out basically from the first week and now all the way through instructs

The dream for #2 seed still alive.

Important to note Moncada is also likely not going to become one of the great defensive 3bs at this point.

I uh, will be wrong. But I kinda imagine him like Beltre. Early in his career this impossibly talented kid with some boom years but also average years, and then fully putting it together and just being consistently great for a long long time. Maybe injuries won't let him, but his approach and offensive game seem like it's such a high base that can go way higher, but it just comes down to consistency there. His 2019 was way less special than Beltre's amazing 25 y.o. season, but Beltre was one of those guy sit felt like people were disappointed by for a while given the package but then when he figured it all out could not be stopped even by age. But more likely he'll be a completely different player.

It's like mid at bat you see him just go "Ohhh I get it" and either stops chasing and walks because the pitcher doesn't want to throw him anything in the zone, or gets something in the zone and puts great contact consistently. So gratifying to see that little incredibly ripped 20 year old boy whose shirtless pics I consumed for years on Instagram is now a fully grown baseball star.

Would love to find the Spring Training posts about how Robert forgot how to play baseball when he had a bunch of 3 pitch outs.

It has really, really hit me that I have never been to a sox playoff game. Lost decades are brutal. I am a damn mid thirties man with three kids who helps mod a white sox message board...and I live in Chicago.

Well, if sox win some games, high likelihood I can't go to all these, and I'm sure others will be in same boat. Keep your ears open.

80% correlation

It will pay off if we make the world series.

Man you guys getting good seats makes me question my 20 game package haha
