  1. People say the same about David McWilliams. People don’t say the same about Mackovic or Herman, because they were pricks. Terry has been around Texas for a while and has apparently treated people well. Let’s not make this anything more than that.
  2. What if I told you that that injuries to (1) a guy who has thrown more than 128 innings exactly once in his 10-year career and (2) a guy north of 40 years old should have been considered neither surprising nor particularly “unlucky”?
  3. I don’t see any errors.
  4. I’m going to try to apply this logic with my insurance company - “sure my wife rear-ended someone each of the last two years, so you should drop my 2025 rates because because there’s no way it’ll happen again.”
  5. The most likely outcome is obviously somewhere in between these scenarios and something like 85-90 wins. There are probably 4 or 5 AL teams that should also be in that range.
  6. Look, the important thing here is that the face that dude makes in that gif is objectively hilarious.
  7. That would make me want him even less.
  8. Robert has played 68, 98, 145 and 100 games the last 4 years (he probably won’t be healthier as he gets older). He’s good and has the ability to be great, but I wouldn’t make that bet.
  9. I wonder if there is a Larry Walker Jr or Moises Alou Jr or Wil Cordero Jr or Archi Cianfraco Jr or Rondell White Jr. (Still irritating that the ‘94 strike more or less ended baseball in Montreal.)
  10. All of them are awful, MLB should stop trying to be like the NBA where every team has every color combo and multiple logos, get off my goddamned lawn.
  11. I think there’s a reasonable chance he does. He basically needs to be worth about 4-5 war / year (though that contract makes it somewhat difficult to assess performance value, given the options and deferred money). So if he produces, say, 5, 4, and 3 war seasons in ‘25-‘27, the Red Sox are probably happy. That doesn’t seem terribly unlikely.
  12. Holy shit forgot about those. Hilariously awful. These weren’t as bad but were also terrible:
  13. I don’t know anything about the kid other than what I’ve seen on this board. Hopefully he’s just making dumb decisions and will grow up. Hopefully these aren’t the first signs of bipolar or schizophrenia (which are typically diagnosed after adolescence/ in early adulthood). Have a close friend who is bipolar and decided to self medicate (mostly pot after getting off his prescribed meds) and then set everything in his life ablaze (family, career, etc) and became homeless, delusions of grandeur, the whole 9. They become the most frustrating, unlovable people and there generally aren’t a lot of good endings.
  14. I admittedly didn’t follow all of it that closely, but wouldn’t the reason to not “do a little PR” be that he maintained publicly that he did nothing wrong, and agreeing to do anger management and some sort of rehab would undermine that claim?
  15. The purpose of advertising is to draw people’s attention to a message.
  16. Not quite - it’s when you don’t have any idea who the performers are, and you take great pride in not knowing who the fuck they are - that’s when you’re officially old. Trust me on this one.
  17. Son of a bitch, this is the first I’m hearing about Bell’s struggles - after all the money we paid for him! Did you guys know about this?!?
  18. Here’s the thing. I’m Gen X. I hate the generations younger than me. I also hate the generations older than me. And for the love of god I hate my own generation.
