That arc is pretty much his vibe in The Bear so far, and it is done spectacularly. We will see how it finishes.

No idea, just interesting that these are being posted.

Hopefully he can carry this into starting next year, because we need A LOT of starters innings.

This is absolutely fair.

I would guess so too, but damn I would be so down for a baseball boat party.

I did pick up The Bear, and haven't been disappointed. It was kind of Breaking Bad-ish in that it took about a season to get going, but the cast is incredible, and they do such a good job with the characters, their tics, as well as what breaks them. Again LOVE the cast. Great story telling. I am about halfway through season 4 so far. Also huge shoutout for Jeremy Allen White as the lead. He is sooooo good at this role. He did it similarly for stretches of Shameless, (thinking of when Lip went to college and was working directly with the professor) but building a character around that totally worked.

I can't wait to hear Schiff bellow "STAAAAAND UP PERFECTLY FINE FIELD!!!"

I mean I have no doubt that some businesses will suffer. There is Grandstand and a couple of bars that get mentioned for sure. But I do think things are being exaggerated too.

I can't help but think, with as little stuff as there is around the baseball experience, what exactly are they losing? I mean if you work at the park, you can still work at the park 2.5 miles away. There isn't some big ballpark experience of shops that depend on the team, which is the whole point of trying to actually create a ballpark village. I know there are a few shops around the team, but it isn't anything like other teams, and I feel like they are trying to have two things be true at once, which can't.

The take out slide is an accepted part of baseball. Elbows the crotch are not. At that point you are just asking to get one of your guys hurt for not even a real baseball play.

The play IS baby soft. If you want dirty, roll the fielder on the slide like a real baseball play. This is fake tough. Like I am trying, but also not. It's like sticking your leg out on a screen. There is a right way to do things and trying to wing someone isn't it. Be better.

Guessing is the same as the rest of the AAA guys. They are good in AAA, and get their ass kicked in the majors. It's the same thing with Cannon.

If you want to break up a double play, do it like dudes have been doing it for 150 years. Your elbow doesn't need to be around another players crotch for any baseball reason.

Again, it's a cheap play. Why do it at all? If you want to affect the play, use a real baseball play and do a take out slide. Why do you need your elbow there in the first place?

I promise you with the fielders reaction to it, that's not where it got him.

It's a Whose Line is it Anyway episode. Everything is made up and the points don't matter.

That's crap. You want tough, do a real baseball play and slide a take out slide. Soft is winging another dudes crotch. You want tough, roll the fielder on the turn.

It's cheap. Look an actual take out slide at (or around) the base is a well established part of the game. An elbow to the crotch is just a cheap shot.

It wasn't Jerry, it was Getz.

Woof.

Yeah because suspensions will fix everything.

"What the f*** is the matter with you?"

Looked like an elbow to the crotch.
