Gas. High Gas (prices).
Wouldn't a $125 hold protect the business better than a $75 hold? Actually I prefer the Canadian system, you can preselect the hold amount at the pump. IIRC it was in increments of $25.

GAMETHREAD 4/9/22: Sox vs Tigers (Cease vs Mize) 12:10 pm CST
With the short spring training and cold weather, I'd be getting everyone into the lineup this month. I hope everyone has a start or two the next three weeks.

Giolito leaves with injury, being evaluated
He might be protecting his ass without a long term contract. Be conservative with your body.

Good point. I don't mind them setting a limit. But they can set the dollar amount at any level. Most stations by me now have $125 as their stop. I can fill up there. There are a lot of customers here with 26 to 40 gallon tanks. At $4 a gallon and a $75 stop they sometimes can't fill up. Basically for me it's the equivalent of setting the stop at $25 for most car owners, about a half tank.

Trevor Bauer receives 2 YEAR suspension from MLB
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant the media in general, not the specific person he sued. Imagine if his next suit is ESPN or MLB Network.

GT: Sox @ Tigers (Giolito v Rodriguez) 12:10 CT NBCSN
One of my favorite business trips was a quick breakfast meeting in Windsor then flew out of Detroit to Mc Allen, Texas where we had lunch. Dinner was in Reynosa Mexico. Three countries in one day.

TLR 2022 Thread
Away from the game too long? He just managed a team this past season that overcame a myriad of key injuries to win their division by the largest margin of any team. Will he still be away from the game too long next season? The season after?

Are you saying anyone's past managerial record isn't relevant or just Tony's record isn't relevant?

2022 Catch All
We were looking at that on one of the RV forums and several of the posters called b.s. because too many cameras are all filming. Seemed staged.

Micker Adolfo DFA'd
But remember the claiming team must put him on their MLB roster. He's likely to bounce around a little bit this year.

Pujols Appreciation Thread - McGwire/Sosa of 2022?
Saving baseball 2022 style. By the end of this season he could be ninth in total hits, third in total bases and extra base hits. Total hits he'd be passing Willie Mays and Eddie Collins. Total bases and he's passing Bonds and Mays. Extra bases he's passing Babe Ruth and Stan Musial. And he's back in St. Louis. What could be better? It could be baseball's 2022 replacement for Sosa and McGwire.

"how much marijuana is in the car?" "This much" and handed the police officer a lit joint. Lol https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/whataburger-biscuit-calorie-check-leads-to-texas-teens-arrest/amp/

TLR 2022 Thread
Side bar. I was running out of games to play with my 8th graders. Basically it was a competition where they correctly use a vocabulary word in conversation then get to play a game. Groups would compete against each other. Then I remembered the grand prize game. Only I made it table top with some plastic cups and ping pong balls. Then instead of one long line, I arranged them like bowling pins. I then stood back and realized I had the kids playing beer pong. Lol

TLR 2022 Thread
So TLR created a position/title, then brought in a incompetent yes man through nepotism, all in an effort to shut down any disagreement and to just do it the HoF TLR way. Is that about right Balta?

And don't forget they hired Katz because Lucas knew him. More nepotism.

Who was the previous analytics coach? Why didn't he stay on?

TLR 2022 Thread
No manager makes every decision with a 100% success rate. In game decisions are important but team culture and attitude are also important. Last year the team stayed in the race with major injuries. If he wasn't so disliked by fans the results should have had him in manager of the year discussions. I could see him earning a Manager of the Year award. Is he the best in baseball or even the best in our division? I don't think so. But he's who we have.

Opening Day Traditions
My school has a cool opening day tradition. Teachers wear a jersey of their favorite team. There will be lots of Astros gear of course, and some Rangers. But the Cardinals, Guardians, White Sox, Marlins, Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, and (sadly) Cubs will be represented. Plus a couple surprises I'm certain. I'm rocking a replica Buerhle 2005 WS jersey this year.
