The fact that he HAS shut his mouth is almost a more powerful statement than if he had come out and said negative things.

This. You want a group that is on the same page at this stage. This just has all kinds of potential to go sideways.

Compulsory Patriotism isn't patriotism. Its cultish.

This screams of mollifying the masses.

9 revolutionary wars as many combat deaths as in the Civil War 2 WWI's 7 Korean Wars 4 Vietnams 100 Afghanistan Wars 50 Iraq wars

I think it would have been if things had stayed normal. I think MLB will want it more, but I think there has never been a worse time to ask a City to put up a package to attract a bid than there is now, and those conditions will linger at the state and local levels for years on. Unless you get someone who is willing to fund a bid from the ground up (stadium, team, etc) it will be a bit now.

For those who don't think it is a big deal, think of it as 250 Bengazzi's yesterday and about 60,000 of them overall.

It is sticking with me that TLR called this a "complete roster".

There are guys on this team who get on Twitter and give an opinion when they cross the street. They sure had opinions when RR was fired. And now? Nothing.

Except we just hired a manager who six months ago said he would force his players to stand for the anthem or not let them on the field to kneel.

What if I told you that you could love and respect the military and our vets, but still recognize that politicians are using them as tools and props to get other people distracted away from real issues in this country, and most fall for it

It is just a show at this point anyway.

While he said a lot of the right things, to have such divergent opinions from what he said very recently seems suspicious at best. It comes off as unauthentic at best and lies for the press at worst. The non- reaction from the players tells me they feel similar.

Yep. No surprises there.

Mostly because they don't have enough talent.

This is such a Boomer mentality. Its like if you aren't doing well its because you aren't getting abused enough. The 50s are gone.

That and WAR, oWAR, dWAR, batting average (which you seem to think is very important), runs scored, stolen bases, BABIP, OBP, wOBA, and RC+,.

I won't tell you about all of the categories that Eaton out produced Nomar Mazara in.

If felt about as long as April 2020 did to me.

If you are asking if I think Steve Stone could do another job in baseball after decades of being an announcer, I would say the same thing. The game isn't the same as the last time he was in a dugout.

Rick Hahn flat out said they didn't interview everyone he wanted after JR went to TLR.

Steve Stone bringing ?

Great. Get rid of them too.

You mean the team of players where not a single player has said anything about this today? Not a single tweet, interview or comment from a current player. No, sounds like everyone is thrilled.

Seeing something like this might also mean that LaRussa is playing a persona for attention too, which is almost worse.
