Twins Sign Donaldson
Agreed on all fronts. You can't keep them all. If Moncada keeps it up, he'll be playing for the Yankees in 4 years.

What would it take to get Nolan Arenado?
He's a big dude who has been pretty banged up. I think the injury concerns will suppress his value lower than the Cubs will be willing to accept. They don't have an easy decision to make here.

Hire AJ Hinch to replace Ricky?
How about the dude who won the batting title?

Hire AJ Hinch to replace Ricky?
The lousy roster doesn't excuse his asinine decision making. His lineups were an absolute joke. How can you defend batting Yonder cleanup as often as he did? Yonder had a historically bad run here, yet Ricky kept trotting him out there in the cleanup spot.

Escape from Tarkov absolutely nailed the online FPS/RPG/PvP style shooter. It is incredibly addicting and insanely fun. Haven't been hooked to a game like this in a while.

Hire AJ Hinch to replace Ricky?
Anybody else on board with getting a legitimate MLB manager? I know the optics may be rough, but Hinch would manage circles around Ricky. What I'm not clear about is the punishment. Does he have to be employed for the suspension time to count? Or can we just hire him next year? Anybody else agree this is the way to go? It would be buying low on a good manager.

I don't see how pitch framing works?
He umpired little league though. None of those little shits were able to pull a fast one and pitch frame on him

****Some Observations including Sabermetrics
They had some old/injury prone outfielders. Keeping a high caliber outfield prospect in that situation isn't a bad move. He just happen to bust. If he came up and raked when they needed, it would have looked great

I don't buy for a second that he helped with the Robert signing. Money talks, and that large sum of money is what got it done

They've had stacked rosters. They also lost to cheating teams in the world series the last two years.

Let's quit sugarcoating the Abreu deal. It simply was not good. It was a signing orchestrated but Reinsdorf, not Hahn. Unless he miraculously does not decline and it helps us get Colas, it's a lousy signing.

Top 10 baseball videogames
https://www.mlb.com/news/best-baseball-video-games-in-history Agree with a lot of it. Very much disagree with the snub of either Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey Jr or Ken Griffey Jr's Slugfest for N64. Those were always my favorites.

As a signed major leaguer or as Jerry's freshly appointed court jester?

Successful Plan B; What’s Next?
I wonder if the whole "money will be spent" thing was a ploy to slash payroll and maximize profits, taking advantage of Sox fans optimism regarding the rebuild. The ownership group is making out like bandits.

Other team(s) you'll root for this season?
It is obvious the Sox won't be competitive this year. Anybody have secondary teams they're interested in following and rooting for? I think I will get more joy out of that. it will be healthier than rooting for the White Sox shitshow. I always like rooting for the Athletics. Cubs are a 10 minute redline ride for me. Always a good option for games in person.

Sox considering a trade, per Chuck.
And I'm considering getting a dog. Probably won't, but I'm considering it. What the hell is this shit, Chuck?
