The Blizzard of 22
One of my players has an indoor setup with trackman. I'm guessing it's getting a workout.

So . . . . is the window still open?
Absolutely I believe they are WS contenders. Oops, wrong holiday, I thought it was April Fool's Day. Currently they could win as many as 85 games. They might even win the division. Then they get swept away like old beer cups.

Carlos Correa is a Twin - 6 yrs $200M
I haven't really followed SpaceX but it seems as if they took a NASA contract, research, and technology and did something that NASA and then Russians have been doing for decades while being lauded as geniuses.

I'm so glad we have an owner that doesn't sign guys to these crazy contracts and has to charge a lot for beer and parking. Keep everything cheap for the fans.

Our plan is to head south Monday. Tuesday is probably better.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
Thank you. I'm worried that my wife will be really bored.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
Making summer plans during the off season. Full day at Cooperstown? Half day? Other things to do in the area? We're heading to Maine then across Canada to Thunder Bay then back to a Texas.

My wife (born and raised in the south) asked what I'd be doing the last couple days if I still lived here. I said going to work. Business as usual.

Which Players do you have the most and least confidence in having a good season and staying healthy in 2023?
I'll be in the minority with this but I believe Grandal will have a slightly better season. My biggest worry is Gio.

Dodgers gonna cut Trevor Bauer now that he’s reinstated (updated 12/22)
Exactly. While any team would like to quietly sign him and fly under the radar it will be national headlines. And the news organizations aren't going to assign their team ass kissing sports reporter to the story, it will be there news reporters who don't care about hurt feelings or access to inside information or locker room access.

The reaction to domestic violence has slowly then rapidly changing over the past fifty years. While the Sox have a proud record on some social issues, they lagged behind in their reaction to Boston. I would hope if the same situation happened today the reaction would be different and more in tune with today's societal values.

Let's also remember he has sued the media that covers baseball. Teams will have to consider that as well.

White Sox acquire reliever Gregory Santos from SF
I feel like I just read a sales pitch for a time share in Branson. It really highlights how thin the line is between AAA and MLB.

Killing someone (perhaps accidentally) while fulfilling his fantasies is a reasonable worry. He already choked someone until she was unconscious. Murder is a different legal definition. And I believe someone can rehab themselves including him. So I believe he can stay out of trouble and lead a solid life. But doesn't get another chance to play MLB baseball. That ship has sailed. I join others who say it would send their loyalty to the team.

That's part of the lesson. You can't choose but you should pay attention to any genetic risk factors and take appropriate steps.

I agree with @Balta1701 the players will never go for a cap and floor.

I'm teaching health this year. I made up a pledge for the class. I want to live a long life and die healthy. I will choose good parents, avoid bad stuff, embrace good stuff, and not get fatter and fatter every year until I die like most first world citizens.
