  1. Or an 80+ year old Jonathan Banks playing a 22 year old rookie cop in Philly.
  2. I think the high strike outs hurt him. His best years were kind of prior (at least I think) to analytics really becoming an important part of baseball. ETA: Playing for Cincinnati didn't help him either. That's probably the biggest issue.
  3. I am disappointed that I missed those.
  4. Sammy Sosa and Adam Dunn come to mind.
  5. I can't really fault him for giving Pujols a start yesterday since Philly was going with a bullpen game. I also won't fault Oli for much. I place the blame entirely on Mo. He just pisses me off. When he talks, the inflection of his voice always rises at the end of a statement, like he's asking a question. Girsch does the same thing and it annoys the shit out of me. It sounds like neither of them actually know what they are talking about. Oh, and they suck at their jobs. I don't know if the fault lies with Mo or the DeWitts, but Mo just irritates me.
  6. I'm afraid that they are going to waste an incredible season by Goldy.
  7. Good quote from Edmonds last night I'm paraphrasing, but: You can't get it close if you don't score any runs. Then when they were talking about the likelihood of some coach in Arenado's past telling him to stop being Nolan, Edmonds says something like "well, coaches tell elite athletes that all the time! I had a coach tell me..." He just likes to talk about himself.
  8. But it's everyone else's fault that Angel Hernandez is passed over for crew chief. It's not because he's a shitty umpire.
  9. Hopefully all he is doing at this point is increasing his trade value. I just don't trust Mo.
  10. He makes a great minor league player.
  11. I'm a fan of Chud's videos. I have not tried the foil boat just yet, but I'll give that a go next time. The last brisket I smoked was Mother's Day weekend. A lot of rain was in the forecast, so I made it the day before. I put sealed it and did the sous vide thing on Sunday. It was definitely the best I have made. Still quite a bit of room for improvement, but it does satisfy my brisket cravings.
  12. I moved from Austin to Missouri about 8 years ago and for some reason have eaten at BBQ places here a few times. To further add to my bad decision history, I ordered brisket each time. I have since started to learn how to smoke my own brisket and it's currently below average to average based on standards back home, but it's still the best I have had in Missouri. ETA: I did go to KC once and got some ribs there that were excellent... brisket, not so much.
  13. There was a time when I wish that he had received an 80 game suspension here. Tremendous talent with shit for brains.
  14. I was expecting to see the Cardinal batters get in the back of the box and then do the shuffle/slide up in the box like they do in softball.
  15. Brad Thompson is so much easier to listen to than Jim Edmonds.
  16. I think Lalo is killed and disposed of in the underground future meth lab and Jimmy never finds that out. Or, maybe that's too easy. Howard's investigator is going to find some shit on Kim in his tailing of Jimmy and she goes away. Again, maybe too easy.
  17. They don't recognize intellectual property rights of non-Chinese citizens either. Fuck them.
  18. I honestly don't think it's a generational thing. Not wanting to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week does not make a person lazy. Working 72 hours a week makes a person miserable. Not wanting to work a normal full-time job makes someone lazy. There are lazy people in all generations. I did the 12x6 thing for about 8 years of my life. I was overseas, so the family life thing was already out of sorts, but it still fucking sucked. I got out of that about 9 years ago and haven't looked back. I also haven't been back into the office since covid started. I've also changed jobs and my current employer doesn't even have an office. I now work between 45-50 hours a week, but I'm also at home. Bottom line, there are lazy people in every generation. There are also hard workers in every generation.
  19. I don't think that this move is going to make this team suck, but it's certainly not going to help them get better. Yahoo Sports article said that they were going to go with Edman at SS and Donovan at 2B. I just don't get it.
  20. Didn't realize that he was HER son. Doesn't change the fact that he should not be called up.
  21. This front office is a fucking beating. So they finally decide to send DeJong to Memphis, but instead of bring up Gorman, they opt for Kramer Robertson. Who the fuck is Kramer Robertson, you ask? Well, he's a 27 year old that's been tearing it up in Memphis hitting .225 with 3 home runs and an OBP of .380. DeJong will probably hit .400 in Memphis and pop 15 home runs in 2 weeks and they'll bring back up so that he can resume his flirtation with the Mendoza line.
  22. What a horrible fucking disease. It's difficult to understand how a man of his stature can end up like this. It's heartbreaking.
  23. He said "jammer", not "rammer".
  24. I hate the Mets almost as much as I hate the Cubs. Gallegos cost them the game tonight. They finally get Scherzer out of the game tied, get a 2 run lead, then Gallegos fucks it all up. I don't usually get upset about 1 loss in the regular season, but this one is just stupid.
  25. Goldy makes an amazing play while Gallegos stands on the mound like a spectator. Could have likely made the play if he broke to first like he should have.
