I don't mind snow either. Just hate the lack of sunlight and anytime its below 20 degrees.

We used to go down to Marco Island every winter pre-Covid. The weather is fantastic almost all year - I don't even mind summer. Heat, humidity and rain are way better to me than cold and dark.

I think we found a nice area with really good schools, but we'll see! Certainly looking forward to the weather.

We're moving to Florida in a couple months so I'll be able to fake complain too. Also it is absolutely shitty weather today. Low 40s rainy and windy. Still barely have any leaves on the trees.

Liam looking good so far. Just hit 100.

I'd bat Yoan leadoff, TA second. I'd move Abreu down to 5th or 6th - Robert and Vaughn 3/4. None of this will ever happen, but that's what I'd do.

Graveman fighting his control

Tough to score 6 in an inning. Didn’t think I’d say this after the first 8 innings but pitching let us down today.

I’ll take that!

Yup!

And beating Brady again

Wow awful call goes our way

Lotta low pitches lotta grounders for Bummer so far

Robert has to be better than that. Obvious ball 4 and he puts it weakly in play. Also no clue what’s up with Pollock. Doesn’t even look like a major leaguer.

Bases loaded for Robert

Yaz is really off man.

And here's the guy we should have kept instead of paying money for a guy who can't even play.

Swung at ball 4. Pretty good pitch though.

TWO HITS

Everything hit hard is caught. Team is cursed.

Actually this comment from the article clears it up: Bummer isn't a control pitcher, he's a pure stuff pitcher. His stuff isn't working.

The sinker stuff is definitely interesting, but it doesn't seem like he's giving up a ton of hard contact. Walks are absolutely killing him - maybe the lack of confidence and early contact on his sinker is causing his control issues, but his slider also has been super inconsistent.

The people now complaining that we didn't keep Kimbrel are blowing my mind. Also yes Pollock and Hendriks look terrible but it's 17 games into the season. Take a breather.

That enough for ya?

Thank god we have Andrew Vaughn everyone.
