how deep does this rabbit hole go?

as I said, I'm top ten mod.

Welcome lurkers. here's some advice on the site: - I am a top poster and top 10 mod

like Frankie Montas just got 1.8 in arb 1 as well. Pretty surprised lopez hit this number.

putting total numbers daily is just the least helpful way of communicating ever. But +33k 2nd highest. However, our 7 day rolling average looks like it's plateauing, sort of like when we hit 10k/day in testing. Maybe sometime we won't take weekends off.

he beat my expectations.

If we get richards, I'd hope it's a factor of Katz seeing him so much last year and thinking he can convert his stuff to better effect. Not a big fan.

Yankees continue to show that if you perform well there they will keep you into your declining years.

our new cody asche except he won't play hopefully.

Excited for Adrian Gil

Not gonna be a lotta drama but After knowing it for like 2 years: Norge Vera is offish (1.5 mill) Yolquei Cespedes is offish (2.05 mill) I’m sure we’ll get great stuff from futuresox and jimmy today.

So good and bad news out of Israel - initial returns show promise that the vaccines do reduce transmission. Was always likely but not studied. - Israel has vaccinated 25% of their population rapidly but are still in a steep increase of infections. US isn’t close to 25% (well, maybe we are with previous infections). But things are at the 1 million per day twice this week and we know of a lot of state capacity opening up. Hopefully we can get surprised with rapid improvement

?

I enjoyed the wgn pre and post. I found McKnight kinda sincere but boring

I didn't say they needed 5 years to make the playoffs, I said we are looking at another 5 years because of what they are going to do this offseason and situation they are in.

but the bears aren't tearing everything down. And we just watched a team go without playoffs for 7 years. So I disagree.

In 2016 and 2017 Omar Narvaez had a 13% walk rate with a .069 (nice) iso. Narvaez eventually developed power but he was extremely weird doing that but it's what madrigal will need to figure out.

one of those things where had a relief package passed in october this would have already been readied. But I still think Illinois/locales could have stood this up faster anyway. We all knew in october a vaccine was close, mass vaccination plans should have been underway. It's like they just started when they heard they were getting vaccine.

just read up on bears cap situation. When they presumably try to press forward borrowing the future to save their butts, we are looking at another 4-5 years before we get back to the playoffs.

Absolutely. Whatever your thoughts on nick, I think it's worth remembering that some of the people most critical started voicing this stuff when he was in the minors. There was stuff that the bullish scouting reports said would translate that didn't right away. OTOH he was moved very aggressively and his best tool has been resilient. But for me some of the all-around stuff I expected has been missing at each level. At this point the number one thing I'd like isn't even power which I've given up on it's him being able to recreate his 9% walk rate in AAA. If he pairs up his hit tool with better selectivity its possible it ends up in some more power, we'll see.

I think the issue I have over the chicago mustard in-joke thing is it really should be clarified that we are talking about vienna beef dogs. If you are having some oscar mayer pork dog, toss schlock whatever you can find to not taste it. A good dog is when I lived in brazil, the hot dog itself was gross but they put like potato salad and crunchy fried potatoes and a bunch of other weird stuff on it. It was good because potato salad is good and so is crunchy fried stuff.
