Depends on what they offer. Isn't one of the reasons that Bosio got fired is that he hosed with JW's delivery? If they can figure that out in Spring Training I'm willing to give him another chance.

Bosio got fired because all the players hated his guts.

That's exactly the kind of thing that I like to hear about the Tiger's new pitching coach, Christopher Louis Bosio, as we head into a season with a completely dead rotation and bullpen :smithicide:

I think putting him with a fresh team who will hopefully give him room to work will be good.

Rockies should move in the fences a little more, sign/trade for every TTO guy they can find, and become a weird gimmick team that exists for the sole purpose of inflating visiting pitcher's ERAs.

The last two points are true, but Giancarlo does have almost double Miggy's WAR as a Marlin (35.1 v. 18.2). Miggy just wasn't there very long :shrug:

Miggy isn't even the second greatest Marlin. And there's an argument for Hanley over Giancarlo if Giancarlo is traded.

Playoffs are no big deal,

I was going to half jokingly suggest Josh Johnson deserves mention as one of the best Marlins before Miggy, but going solely off bWAR, it's not a joke.

Well we used different hollandaise recipes and he used good ham instead of cold cut ham like I did and he also covered the entire surface with the ham

That would definitely make a huge difference. Especially the ham. Cold cut ham is gross.

His somehow looks significantly less gross than yours. I'm guessing the thick slices of fresh ham are part of that. You seemed to be using packaged deli slices, which I can't stand even without all that other stuff.

Like, I don't know if its lighting, cooking skill, the difference of a glass dish vs an old beat up metal pan, or just that he was trying to make something he enjoyed while you were undergoing a punishment... But these two pictures are two completely different reactions for me.



An enthusiastic cook could actually convince me to taste that second one.

At the end of the day though, it's still hot bananas under salty meat and rich sauce. I don't think getting the ingredients from Whole Foods and serving on the good china would have made that great a difference.

Oh, I dont look at that second picture and go "Yummy" or anything. The basic recipe is still gross. But the second poster seemed to use better quality ingredients and maybe a bit more cooking knowledge to make it work better. They barely even look like the same dish.

And there IS something to be said for presentation and just mental/emotional mindset. Intruder's is fully and totally a "punishment" and you couldn't pay me to eat it. The other guy's is something that he could probably convince me to taste if he was really adamant that it was good. And some of that is definitely psychological, appearance, and enthusiasm.

NEW YORK — Major league teams were given homework this weekend by Shohei Ohtani.

The agent for the star pitcher and outfielder asked for written explanations in English and Japanese on how Ohtani would fit into each organization intending to bid and what makes the team attractive, according to details obtained by The Associated Press.

The memo from Nez Balelo, co-head of CAA Baseball, was distributed to all 30 teams by the commissioner's office late Friday along with materials for the Dec. 1 vote on a new posting agreement between Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball. If the deal is approved, the 23-year-old is expected to be put up for bid later that day or the following day.

Balelo's memo asks for a team to evaluate Ohtani's talent as a pitcher and as a hitter; to explain its player development, medical training and player performance philosophies and facilities; to describe its minor league and spring training facilities; to detail resources for Ohtani's cultural assimilation into the team's city; to demonstrate a vision for how Ohtani could integrate into the team's organization; and to tell Ohtani why the team is a desirable place to play.

Each team was asked to provide its answers in both languages as soon as possible. Clubs were told not to include any financial terms of a possible contract.

I think that's a big part of it and its a balance thing. He uses that thick ham and way more of it so it looks more like a 50/50 split between ham and banana. Your dish is like ALL banana with some deli slices of ham there to gum up the works.

I have a real consistency/texture issue with food and I really can't eat bananas even though I love the flavor and use it in all my smoothies. But I could see myself getting through a couple of bites of his dish mentally focusing on the ham and its consistency with the banana being more of a like mashed potato side or something.

I mean, I really still don't want to eat it. But that's as good example as any of the difference cooks, ingredient choices, and presentation can make.

For what its worth I've always been told that cooked banana is really tasty and sweet. I've just never tried it because of my consistency/texture issues.
