Fair enough.

It's behind a paywall or I would link it. The Athletic has the Dodgers as the favorite to win the WS with the Sox in a small group of top contenders. Once again, why are the smartest baseball minds in America writing for Soxtalk while dummies get national exposure? They just gloss over no 2nd or RF. List Kimbrel as an asset? Playing in a weak division is the only reason they will even sniff the playoffs.

Fans vote with their pocketbooks. They will get the league they are most willing to pay for. It's really the only way fans have any input. The millions of casual fans will out vote the hard core traditionalists every time. So DH? Lined players pockets. 162 game season? Lined pockets. AL and NL merger? Lined pockets. Interleague play? Lined pockets? Night games? Lined pockets. Speeding up games is better for television, lining pockets. I'm the opposite. If it doesn't line pockets, in others words if the fans won't buy it, then I'm suspicious.

Just like the last few have been painful. Rehab isn't easy.

Hey Cub fans. Anytime you have a chance to watch Nick play, go. You never know when he'll be out for six weeks.

Or a slow spiral to oblivion. It's a challenge to balance old school with modern aesthetics.

It just makes sense. Let's modernize baseball.

My brackets are an almost total bust at the match play.

Several media outlets are reporting MLB will have a decision by April 16.

I'm with Balta in this. It seems like pitching is the hardest to replace and stay competitive.

I do.

You'll be in prison or face a firing squad. Sadly in war it's ok to kill that guy but not that guy.

Sucks for the guy. He's had a tough career, although a lot was self inflicted.

I want to see JR cuddling with TLR in the dugout between innings.

This would be the first post at Padretalk.com just to set the proper tone.

But not conquering is worth committing murder for? That's a huge step and big self sacrifice.

It makes me sad that cheating is so widespread this is necessary.

I've always been a Boras fan. For months people talked about how important competition is, Boras players don't accept less to help load a championship team. For months we heard how players were receiving too little of the revenue. His players generally receive better than market pieces. He totally supports his players. If I was a player, he'd be my guy.

The players developed skills that can be exploited by the capitalists.

I like Boras. Owners make too much money. Players are receiving too little of the revenue. There just aren't enough agents like Boras.

Lol. Should I cite that there is a war in Ukraine? Biden is President? The team's formation was widely reported. It didn't hurt my ego you needed help with Google. I enjoy teaching. It was literally the first ten results when I found it for you. Why didn't you believe the White House put a team together?

Thank you for posting.

I assumed people know that multiple government agencies would each have teams responsible for this. I believe Soxtalk posters are that smart and don't need dialogue for dummies. But I'll include a few links for folks that might be less informed or need more information. https://bfy.tw/Sn3Y https://bfy.tw/Sn3S https://bfy.tw/Qs2P
