Thanks for the unfortunate Sosa info y’all. I read up some more on it and yeah, it’s a lot of bullshit. He should be all over that franchise. Intruder posted:I was going to interject with Maddux so I looked at the bWARs and Clemens had a loving 139.2 bWAR?! Good lord that’s incredible, Clemens was unreal. secular woods sex posted:23 years ago Clemens started an affair with a 15 year old. The girl in question said that didn’t happen fwiw. quote:On November 17, 2008, McCready spoke in more detail to Inside Edition about her affair with Clemens, saying their relationship lasted for more than a decade and that it ended when Clemens refused to leave his wife to marry her. However, she denied that she was 15 years old when it began, saying that they met when she was 16 and the affair only became sexual "several years later". If you dig deeper into that and his affairs in general it’s a wild loving ride. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Aug 26, 2022 |

We went on vacations together: We went to Palm Springs; we went to Las Vegas, New York City. I wanted him to do right by me … and when he wouldn’t, I broke it off. which isn't a denial of a relationship, it's more her thinking he was going to leave his wife for her or something like that And then like a month later she killed herself probably in large part thanks to all the abuse she was getting from baseball fans and sports media e: oh that's what I get for leaving the reply window open while googling e2: and it's still pretty questionable that she specified it didn't become sexual while she was underage, not that it didn't begin while she was underage Intruder fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Aug 26, 2022 |

Sab0921 posted:Vasquez almost stole a base today! He has absolutely not been solid at the plate. He's had moments but his slash is .214/.267/.422 since June 1 If you want to use a literal definition of two months he's slashing .221/.270/.433 since June 25 e: you can live with a dead spot in the lineup like that when you don't dead spots like Dubon, Chas, recent Pena and Yuli also in the lineup but when you have Vazquez as an option where he's a good defensive catcher and can also hit... I have no idea if Vazquez has any interest in staying in Houston but I'd love to see him get a 3ish year deal. 2 with a team option? IDK if he'd accept such a short deal though Intruder fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Aug 26, 2022 |

Some sassy posts when folks complain about front offices not spending money based on analytics. It’s absolutely increased the gap between the best and worst teams I don’t think it’s weird to think a solved sport is less interesting than one that has folks acting sub-optimally sometimes. Folks here really dig the dearth of starters going later into games?

I should be able to blow off these oldtimers and they should just have to accept whatever pablum I graciously extend in absolute silenceConfidentiality only protects candor when you're being candid, Rob: quote:Manfred said he was not going to put himself in the same category as Carew by going through the “jots and tittles” of what was said at the dinner. But he gave a point-by-point account of his position on analytics, saying his private and public versions are no different.

It's not solved and never will be. Also TLR is still managing so go watch White Sox games if you like watching sub-optimal decisions. quote:Folks here really dig the dearth of starters going later into games? Plenty of guys still do it, and since it's not as common it's more exciting. Overall your post is 0/5 stars, wholly unenjoyable to read and respond to.

Other flavors of old guy complaints are things like "these players today are too soft, pitchers can't go deep cause they are being babied and they're such pussies they just sit there and take it." It's nonsense and it's not worth engaging.

MrMidnight posted:Carlos is definitely bailing on the Twins I thought there was the tiniest chance he'd stay, but as usual we didn't manage to field a full rotation of actual Major League starting pitchers and we're paying for it yet again. And it's not like we'll use that salary "room" to actually pick up pitching, either. We'll just roll Lewis out there to figure out his recovery on the field, pay him the minimum, and the Pohlads will cry poor again, so of course we can't get any top-tier starters. It's amazing anyone ever signs with the Twins since they have an organizational aversion to acquiring or holding quality pitchers in their prime, having a medical staff that can evaluate and maintain pitchers, or even pretending to care about holding a staff year to year. It's always loving duct tape and baling wire with them, and it has to be apparent to everyone in the game.
