Has nothing to do with performance.

That would be interesting as its been reported that many pitchers dont like throwing to Lee.

Those were the ones that Venable was allowed to hire for himself i believe. This is nothing more than Venable being allowed to bring in more of his guys. Last year they didn't want to change everything at once.

The best.

Ill take that bet.

Really good. The resteraunt is down here in New Lenox.

The Hog wild brisket nachos also improved as the year progressed.

I just think it's going to be a bigger fight and strike/lockout than you think. The players think short term as their careers are relatively short. Thevowners are playing the long game.

This is where I think you are wrong. Its pretty well known that many teams are not making money. The twins have significant debt. JR brought ishbia on to pay off debt. Many teams are probably making money but not all of them.

Got it. Agreed.

McDougal has been more consistent for the first game.

Possible, if it was bothering him for a while. Legs and the transfer of kinetic energy up the chain drives everything. But no more than 4-6 weeks back. If it was longer than that they most likely would have given him a longer time off.

Yes. Patellar tedinopathy in his knee. Shutting him down for the season to let it heal and rehab.

It a good plan if the tendonopathy is reoccurring. That's not something you want to linger, especially with a guy that tall. Unfortunate.

I have 100 on 50.5.

Yep, grade 2 is about 6 weeks. 4 at the absolute positive best.

Had to wait for all the mail in ballots. 😁

I agree with everything except the 100 loses next year. They will have enough talent within the organization to not lose 100.

Oppor is not coming fast. At least 2 years away. Only 21 and needs many more innings.

Other teams. Its a league

They said he will play 3B most of the rest of the way to "rest" to finish the long season.

So you're saying that the glass half full people are the only realistic and objective ones? That's just as wrong as the other view. Once again its not a dichotomy of one or the other. Both are wrong if you only have the two choices. Objectivity means you don't have the ideology of it has to be one or the other. It means looking at the information and evaluating without the preconceived notion.

He's going to the AFL so he's season will be extended somewhat.

It was a lot of fun to be at. One of the better sports moments I've attended as a fan, not including working.

That was the goal.
