Re: D-Trains short and SWEET Off season plan
Darren’s parents are salt of the earth good people. His dad made a memorable crab dinner for Darren and I a few tears back . We also enjoyed them the first day of spring training this year.D-train wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 8:03 pmBig_Maple wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:58 pmI am instantly your dad's biggest fan.D-train wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:56 pmGet this, my Dad has no idea I read the Seattle Times every day online so he cuts out articles and mails them and by time they get here to Boston they are almost two weeks old. LOL This one he decided to add some commentary above the headline about Castillo. He has asked me why he doesn't take his wig off when he pitches.![]()

Hilarious.
Bring him to ST and I'll buy the beer. Pretty sure we'd pass out laughing in 10 minutes.
BTW - my dad used to do the same shit. Apparently they were the last 2 people on earth to read a paper newspaper!He came to ST this past March! lol

We need hitters that do this. Right now we don't have any that do both.

Ruth had pretty much the same opinion
All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.

Click bait proposal
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/100 ... -offseason
Trade Proposal: 1B Paul Goldschmidt acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for RHP Bryan Woo, 3B Tyler Locklear, RHP Ty Adcock
After a breakout season in 2021 and an All-Star appearance in 2022, Ty France took a significant step backward this season, hitting .250/.337/.366 for a 99 OPS+ with just 12 home runs in 158 games.
That decline coupled with the potential departure of Teoscar Hernández in free agency leaves the Mariners without much in the way of proven middle-of-the-order run producers, and Paul Goldschmidt could be a game-changing addition to the lineup.
Trading from the club's abundance of young pitching to land a bona fide offensive superstar would set the team up for a return to the playoffs in 2024 after it came up just short this season. Even in his age-35 season, Goldschmidt still posted a 121 OPS+ with 31 doubles, 25 home runs and 80 RBI in 154 games.

Just brilliant.
20+ years of cheap control for a 35 year old 1B with one year left on his deal making $26 million. His .763 2nd half OPS sure looks fantastic.
What is this moron thinking?
