His arm is not good for that side of the IF more than anything.

I think in general these generations care more about the results on the field.

Payroll is not their biggest expense, especially if they now have debt service they never had before.

It is would be criminally negligent to be the one community losing businesses because you are the only one NOT offering incentives.

There is A LOT of that happening. I don't think people understand that so much economic development money is out there specifically for attracting and maintaining businesses. Literally in any town of an OK size, there are redevelopment and economic growth boards which use these tax dollars as direct subsidies for business retention and recruitment. There were companies lining up to pay Amazon to move. NYC put a $3.5 BILLION dollar package to get the HQ2, in just TIF money. That company is worth over a TRILLION in market cap.

Is Vargas dead?

Do people not understand that? I mean think of your house. You can own a $300,000 house free and clear and have no cash at all. It's an illiquid asset. A baseball team is similar.

I mean think he looked at what relievers were getting at the deadline and thought I can do that. The problem was 100% targeting an unproven 32 year old who hadn't got to his second full season for a kid who should be exactly the type of player we should be targeting. Just sign a free agent flip reliever like everyone else.

Are you saying you need the announcer to tell you how to feel?

Nice to see Brooks even it out.

Brooks misread that ball badly and then set a screen on Colson who had the read. Taylor never had a chance

Getting let down by defensive positioning.

It's 5-0 now. This inning is a scoreless inning if the manager doesn't play his infield in in the first inning with no score.

Yeah inning was over with a goose egg if Mead plays even at 1st.

Infield in in the 1st inning? Eh.

How the heck did that get thru?

John and Steve are back together again.

Hawk was genuine. He was pissed off when things were bad, he was elated when things were good, and he didn't call everything like it was the single greatest play in the history of baseball.

So what exactly would you say that ya do here? I AM A GDAMNED DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST!!!

FAFO

What do I want? To call the game, and let the excitement happen at genuinely exciting things. There is definitely nuance to PBP.

Unless this thread was the jinx all along...

Which means unless they wanted to call him up and send him down 4 more times in the next eight weeks, it doesn't matter.
