Re: The Unanimous HOF question

The problem is the voters only get to vote for 10 players. This means it makes sense to leave off a sure thing player (“He’ll get elected without my vote”) if you want to let’s say, vote for a borderline player who is nearing their tenth year on the ballot, a player who may not reach 5% their first ...

Re: GT 4/24 - "All hat, No cattle" TX vs. SEA

I never learned how to bowl so i would just take the heaviest ball and roll it with as much velocity as i could muster towards the front pin. Could get a decent number of strikes that way but getting the spares was a problem.

Re: Former Mariners tracker

Somethings definitely wrong with the mindset our coaches and managers instill to anyone who comes here. It always is blamed on the stadium, but it's almost certainly more a mindset and ideological problem IMO. I personally think they make the guys think too much. I've taught English in HS in the US...

Not that spring training records matter but they’ve only won one game?!? Good lord. And now they’re getting creamed by the As.

Good luck on the next round of interviews. Would be ...
