  1. More muscle inbound...
  2. Welcome, Mr. Cooper. It's great to have you. Now maybe the Chicken Little crowd of a few weeks ago will stifle themselves.
  3. If you're not going to send him there, up 6 runs in the 8th, when are you going to?
  4. I know MLB wants desperately for Julio to be this otherworldly megastar. But he's just not the next Griffey Jr. in fact, he's a pretty mortal player who regularly proves it. Like today, for instance. So enough with the constant hype train already.
  5. Something's off. Are they not booing him enough?
  6. I know Mariner, Ranger, Yankee and Dodger fans, among others, join Manfred and company in enjoying this spiral. Whatever. Not sure what can be done except keep grinding with whoever's available and hope for a healthier stretch. There's very little to trade for anyone who might fix this mess in the short term, so rather than further deplete the farm, let's just look to get a few guys back and see if we can somehow heat up again as the season winds down. Hope's about all we have, fading though it might be.
  7. Abreu has perfected the art of inheriting his own runners. 😝
  8. I admire the grit, win or lose.
  9. There's such a thing as terrible luck...and there's such a thing as inept training, conditioning and rehab programs. Given how often our guys are getting hurt and how long some are staying out of commission, odds are we're seeing both. No news to you guys, of course.
  10. Manfred finally got what he wanted: a franchise too depleted from top to bottom to keep winning once the inevitable bad run of injuries lined up. Now I mainly want to keep winning to spite that guy.
  11. Start with the medical staff.
  12. I lived in Marietta for over 40 years...and still can't help you. Not saying the place doesn't exist, but let me know if you discover it.
  13. Castillo's obviously tough, but the reality of our AA lineup has set in. Let's try getting to 60 wins before we start debating if 95 is a realistic goal.
  14. Then again, the exceptional duos presumably would have higher-than-average percentages on those other routes, too.
  15. Nice hypothetical, Looch. Of course, we'll never know. What we CAN say is that the "ball-knowing burnt-orange fan" enjoyed that road win over a wannabe rival whose own HC says we "physically annihilated." Thanks for playing.
  16. I'm personally a fan of this one: https://texags.com/s/19089/coming-soon-on-an-island-being-brandon-jones
  17. And here the Dawg press tries to come across as journalistically pure while still finding a way to hint that Texas bought Atkinson. After all, we bought Terry. https://www.dawgnation.com/football/cj-allen-anthony-hill-help-illustrate-choice-that-5-star-lb-tyler-atkinson-made-with-his-commitment/NKEKLDUYSZENPNUPTZBWIXFBEI/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLmCTJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi4Lw6R4VY0A7iBhi3zVjy1kwZorwVfDL5u3Xy6bQ8tui_KQJ7UE90-lZwyH_aem_rmivDaEggSrd32R2YhKzpw
  18. For aggy, "breaking tradition" might simply mean they won a game.
  19. Print, frame and hang this where it belongs: in the Louvre.
  20. How about pizzazz? Plenty of that in Texas recruiting this week.
  21. How much wood could a Sawchuk saw if a Sawchuk could saw wood?
