Upshot is this might finally be the weekend that gets Joe fired.

The writing's been on the wall since the offseason that Maddon's a dead man walking. He and Epstein are nowhere near close to being on the same page anymore, and they haven't been since 2017.

It's Rickettses, goddammit. Would you say "The free agents that the Jones spent all that extra money on?" No. You'd say Joneses. Just because the name ends with an "s" doesn't mean it's automatically both singular and plural. :argh:

Also the Dodgers just set a MLB record with the most HRs over a 5 game span. And they didn't even need to face the Orioles to do it.

In other news, Yadi and Waino had their 257th career game as batterymates last night. They're currently 8th all-time. If Waino takes the mound every 5th start for the remainder of his one-year contract he'd have 8 more starts. If all of those starts are with Yadi they would end up 7th all-time, 5 shy of Steve Rogers and Gary Carter and one ahead of Bob Lemon and Jim Hegan.

I was mad at this at first because it's clearly trying to cheat and the coach shouldn't be allowing that sort of thing but it was apparently a one-off and the ump called it a strike so :confuoot:
