  1. A little better angle than my view… look how shitty “El Pequeno” was 17 years ago
  2. This. time to bully the mlb in to this like going back on the all star game jerseys. i’m sure there is some dumb shit written in to the TV contracts. The espn deal is through 2028, but espn has an opt out after next year. if the nfl is comfortable enough putting two games on MNF at the same time, MLB can do the same thing with the WC/LDS rounds.
  3. But speaking of naming rights, I just got this from a relative a couple of weeks ago:
  4. Money can buyout anything but: The Astros sold naming rights of the ballpark in 2002 to locally based Coca-Cola subsidiary Minute Maid for $100 million over 30 years
  5. Give me the D-Backs to win it all if they do.
  6. Remind me which knee? left? Or right? if right, just wheel him out there if he’s the tying/winning run in the 8th or 9th (or extras) and let him crawl around the bases if he has to after delivering this year’s version of the Robbie Ray blast
  7. There should never be a playoff series where Dubon starts over Yordan…but if there were, it would be this one (better against Tiger pitching this year in every category with only 4 fewer plate appearances than Yordan):
  8. I mean we’re good, but split squad meeting in the WS? 2019, sure. 2024, I don’t know
  9. Ferguson and King’s numbers the past month are both shitty. Turd’s are slightly less shitty. ort’s are better than them both (including against lefties), except for the long ball. Which is not what you want right now. I have no idea. Put King, Ferguson, Ort, JV names in to a hat. Hold your nose and pull two out.
  10. He means “fighting the pressure” instead of just playing loose, relaxing.
  11. That would have been a lot cooler if the loser went home. instead of delaying their turn at the champagne for 3.5 hours.
  12. That’s probably right. Although idk what value JV gives you. Arrighetti can handle the mop up duty if we’re getting blown out and I’d trust his stuff more to play the role of Garcia if we find ourselves in an 18 inning marathon. Infield, I’d eye Kessinger for defense instead of whitcomb.
  13. Are we holding on to see if someone will give us a bucket of balls for Montero in the offseason?
  14. Glad someone posted this. I’ve listened to Casey’s Last Ride about 10 times since yesterday.
  15. As they should. No reason to put anyone you’re counting on to perform tomorrow back out there to play a 2nd game today
  16. 13.5 was going to be my number. But anything under 40 is easy money Their offense isn’t scoring (until possibly late 2nd half on 2nd/3rd stringers). Only way they get on the board early is a scoop/score or pick 6, or turnover recovery in FG range. We’re going to have 1 or 2 D/ST scores ourselves. Rhett Bomar/ Rodrique Wright style (Simmons/Collins). And 1 of their ~10 punts we’ll get to for another 6 points. We are going to fucking roll them. 65-0 Or maybe dyslexia kicking in and will be 56-0 bye week, like ou, sucks.
  17. MLB just announced that players will be wearing their team road or home jerseys for All-Star game next season. hallelujah. going to look dumb with the same hat though, but I’m willing to give it a try. Going back to the old jerseys is old news.
  18. I saw “Lead after 8 innings: 80-3” and thought ‘damn that’s way better than I expected’ and then saw “Tied after 8 innings: 8-14” and thought ‘that’s more like it.’ And I know we’ve commented on this next one throughout the season, but damn: ”Trailing after 8 innings: 0-56”
  19. Agreed. The NBA doesn't have non-weekemd playoff day games. NBA is played indoors and MLB can’t have a postseason that runs 2 months like the NBA (and would be awful ) I just want to see the numbers that show rating /dollars are better this way than putting them all in primetime on weeknights. baseball is still a regional sport and I’m willing to be your overall viewership is higher with two games going on in primetime at the same time vs 2 afternoon games when most of America is at work.
  20. I really do hate how I invest 400-500 hours of my spring/summer in to this team and then get screwed in to having to take off of work to be able to watch the most important games of the year.
