Without Big Game James, we wouldn’t have sucked as bad as we did from 2016 - 2018.

Isn’t Mize injured?

Alright folks... it’s taken me quite a while to reach the final phase of grief for this otherworldly loss. Though, healing has finally occurred and I come to share with you my lasting insight. Imagine another world where the Shields trade did not occur. Imagine in this world that we retained our talent and Tatis Jr. In this world, we don’t suck completely and as such draft for guys like Madrigal and Vaughn. We don’t trade for guys like Eloy, Kopech, Moncada, Cease, Giolito, Lopez, Dunning, etc. We likely don’t sign Robert. We more likely just keep buying old “on their way out” free agents and drafting between 15 - 20 while still missing out on the playoffs. So... I will take Madrigal, Vaughn, Eloy, Kopech, Moncada, Cease, yada yada yada and accept losing out on “he who shall not be named.” In closing, thank you Jamie Shields for helping us suck so hard that we are starting to see a bright future around the bend. Enjoy your retirement in San Diego... May we beat the Padres in 2021 for a World Series Championship. PS... suck it James. I mean, thank you James.

Truth

I might be talked into this but won’t in any way be sad if it very likely won’t happen.

I too was stoked. ??

Tatis JR and Machado. There, I did it for you... let’s get it done.

It’s happening??? ?

Frank Thomas a couple times a year for a decade starting in 92... Ozzie at spring training in 2005 joking with me and Pablo Ozuna. Brett Lillibridge giving me a bat on the field with only press present. My Dad and I being walked through the park by Brooks Boyer.

Here’s hoping.... ( silly hoping ) Eloy = Dye ++ Vaughn = Thomas - Collins = Thome - Dunn

Greggy Poo ?

Someone said something once about putting your sword away... no?

Pinch hit him the Cubs series against RHP relief and then start him in Arlington.

“He whom shall not be named” has not been mentioned.

I enjoyed hearing what he had to say on Thompson. Said that he was looking like a first rounder until a bad spring pushed him down... if they right his ship he could be really good. Also said there’s a chance spring wasn’t a fluke and he never even makes the bigs. Called it a roll of the dice.

He’s exactly where he is supposed to be.

It’s jus a common phrase, pal.

Most high school players take 3+ years... not all. That said, baring a 1-1 mix up, give me the bat from Cal.

Thought first pick is at 6pm CST... which is like 4 hours from now, no?

Do we really have to wait another 4 hours?

My jealousy is yours.

Crap. Just realized my son’s parent teacher conference is at the same time. First three picks will be made probably by the time I’m just getting done and home.

Killer stuff. Hope *cough* some *cough* people read this post.

I’m dreaming a dream where the other two pitch better than this ?

Fun to dream on Gio pitching like this as a number 3 behind Kopech and Cease.
