Re: No New Wars!

I know that a lot of people are going to dismiss anything from CNN. I'm willing to read and think about ideas from a lot of sources, including CNN. They have an "analysis" today that argues that Trump, not Netanyahu, is calling the shots in the Middle East. They cite the cease fires in Iran, Lebano...

Re: All my Exes lose to Texas game thread

Garver was fine as backup catcher, but to pinch hit, come on....

They're treating it like any right handed bat is better than our lefties. Such terrible strategy.

Re: 4/16/26 Eddie Vedder about to roll over in his grave game thread

Yeah not looking great for Naylor. Never a very impressive player, especially for a 1B, but they obviously hoped his hitting would continue like it did after the deadline. Can't really fault them for that, but betting 5 years and 90+M on it was crazy. Was thinking maybe he's another slow starter, bu...

Re: 4/16/26 Eddie Vedder about to roll over in his grave game thread

Do you guys think a pitcher making an error should count against their ERA?

I'm generally in favor of separating defense and pitching, but when it's the pitcher making the bone head play? I don't know...

Re: 4/16/26 Eddie Vedder about to roll over in his grave game thread

Hard to believe they're back to the point of using Garver as a pinch hitter.

Maybe they forgot about last season...

Re: Given to Fly out of Petco: GT 4-15-2026

Its 2 innings but wow Hancock looks really really good. Either trade Castillo or move Miller to bullpen. My guess we are gonna go with 6 man. Hate 6 man rotation. We are NOT going with a 6 man. Jesus Christ I can't believe that Julio robbery. Wonder what the team record is on getting robbed in a se...

Re: Game Thread Competition : Season 6

There might be some sort of negative connotation but what I'd suggest for Dtrain is AA. I don't know if he's ever considered it. I think it be great, right in his wheelhouse. He'd be the star of the meetings. To me the toughest thing about dealing with these sorts of struggles is the social aspect....

Re: Emerson and the roster

It's not really about benefiting this season. That's the thing, I don't see a reason to get particularly excited about it or on the other hand, upset. The contract doesn't impact this seasons budget. It doesn't kick in until 2028. This is about the future Of course it's about the future. So was the...

Re: bWAR leaders for Ms

Hard to complain about those guys at the top. And the guys we can complain about havent gotten many plate appearances, so can't complain too much. We just need the middle of the order to hit like it. There are a lot of guys around the league struggling to get going though, hopefully ours are warming...
