It was incredibly out of touch and absolutely so ridiculous as to not need explaining. Hence the response. I am sorry the phrase bothers you,

Speaking of fundamentals, a spell check would be fitting.

Get there REALLY early. I bought A/B/C lot parking. I got to the park at 4:05, lots technically opened at 4. By the time I got through traffic, B was already full, and A was about 1/3 full with a really long line to get in it. if you don't get there early, you will be in the boonies.

When he pitches out of the pen, he pretty much stays as a two pitch pitcher. No idea if he could mix in the other stuff enough to keep them on his slider, but Kopech has been getting hit hard for a while now, and I am not good enough to see if he has a tell, but my eye test sure feels like they are able to see his slider from a mile away, and are ready for his fastball.

OK Boomer

Teams have been doing this to Kopech for about a month now. It's almost certain he has some kind of a tell. Go back and watch his last regular season outing too. They lay off the slider and swing hard at his heat.

Game recognize game.

Now this is funny.

I was worried he'd burn down the clubhouse, but thought he would at least have the team ready. Turns out I had it backwards.

So we are going to pretend the same guy that ignored his staff when he didn't understand a rule is now seeking out his coaches for advice... but only when things go badly. Ok Stan.

Kimbrel and Bummer both look a lot worse this year and series because of the defense.

Because we won tons of playoff series with him around...

You are just going to ignore his extension, so yes, yes I will keep laughing.

I couldn't stop laughing at Lance Lynn being a cheapskate move.

The funny thing is the farm system people have changed almost completely in the last 5 years.

Leave it to Ron to be campaigning against what the guy actually asked for.

I'd rather have a healthy Rodon, but it doesn't work like that.

Sounds like a great TLR imitation.

Well hopefully being back home allows Tony to align his infield better, manage his pen better, and the defense to not suck.

He has an 80 grade hit tool and injury tool.

Unless the Cubs hooked him up with his dealer, irrelevant.

?

So much worse.

It's not really, this is probably the first time he didn't get friendly media questioning about it, so it sounds worse.

Good to know the ABs when we weren't down by 5 were the ones that didn't count, but one the one in the 9th when the game was over did count. Brilliant.
