Yeahhh I have zero confidence in Lopez. And the last time I said that we were down 8-0 after 2 innings or whatever it was

omg hahaha

Ha. This was what I was going to say but didn’t. Though I do think between both we can get a league average offense (mendicks at 97 wRC+) Ive always been a fan of mendick. His rough Birmingham year he still hit like 15+ homers, his slash wasn’t great but he outperformed all of our big outfielders that year

weird I would not have guessed that Eloy homer would measure as far as it did

Great take there by luis

it's funny to me people's different personalities. Some are probably tracking this and it making them excited or relieved. For me it just makes me nervous for how much worse it will feel if they don't make it lol.

Right, this stat is essentially "thank you tigers". I love our pen right now, but very nervous on our staff. Will feel better if Lopez makes a real comeback even if it means pen for him. And I guess Dunning made me feel better.

yes please golden state trade for LaVine and reunite wiggins/lavine

Yeah, I'm not trading up in this draft. Glad they got 4, but it's a pretty weak draft.

I am not sure where I stand on that. I think McCann is the first catcher that made me notice game calling, in part due to how terrible it was from our catchers prior. i wanted him locked up last year but it is what it is now. He earned it. I’ll miss him for sure.

Eloy my goodness.

Can somebody send me Tim's address I don't think I saved it on my phone

Private schools do an excellent job of getting wealthier students that have more resources to accommodate a situation like this. If I was a head of public schools, I'd start running it like a business and start "cutting the fat" of students that need more resources than they put in. Don't have internet? Seeee yaaaa. No computer? Bye byeeee.

Right exactly, he’s at work! His producers were hearing this even if the audience didn’t cut in. This isn’t someone saying they heard him use it at a restaurant.

Eh, he could contribute as an asset if he is talented and desired. Get the guy you think is best. If cespedes immediately looks like a swing and miss corner outfielder, he'd probably be less valuable than a super talented 19 year old pitcher you could trade.

If I was saying anything remotely inappropriate on a conference call prior to a client hopping on, and it turned out they were on, I would be fired. If they were not on yet, it is very likely I would be fired if other reasonable people from my company were on the call. If anything he's more protected "being in the public eye" since he can cry "pc police". It's incredibly easy not to say racial or homophobic slurs at work. It's kind of a barest of minimums kind of requirement.

Not gonna lie the extremely messed up intl schedule makes it hard to get too excited about this until we figure out what sox were able to do in Jan(?) with cespedes/other guy.

ugh remind me to finalize bets faster.

This could be Robert related... could be renteria obsessing over having a super lefty lineup against two cubs RHPs.

I agree, no way that was the first time he said something like that. Just incredibly unprofessional, hot mics happen where you embarrass yourselves. This isn't a hot mic, he should be fired even if they weren't live.

Dunning's start was a huge positive, that said, really annoys me that they didn't give him the drew Anderson start a few weeks ago. We have same control now, and he would have given us a much better opener in an important game.

I'm gonna take the opposite side of that bet.

why? There's no point in having him in Schaumburg, he's not going to contribute. He was active. We aren't getting an all star pitcher. I could absolutely see him as part of a package.

Wonder if there was strong enough trade interest in Jake?

dang, I really liked the wgn pre and post game.
