I guess the silver lining is that TLR is apparently already losing the clubhouse so maybe the Sox sucking more will foster enough discontent to full on mutiny his piece of poo poo rear end out of the org.

FYI that's like $40, A's tickets remain the best bargain in baseball. gently caress I kinda wanna go to an A's game and I see they play the Angels at home later this month. I'm two weeks past my second shot; just wanna recline down the third base line with a big rear end pretzel and loving gallon of whatever lovely beer they've got at O.Co these days watching Chapman make absolutely sparking plays and Trout hit some majestic bombs.

I am thinking of Hicks, yes. Morning coffee hasn't quite overtaken the hangover yet.  I'm rooting for Reyes as well though, he's got all the stuff in the world but has been derailed by injuries over and over which always sucks to see. Hope he can string together a couple healthy seasons.

The last place Cubs hung a four spot on Kershaw, tying his career record for runs given up in the first and handing him the shortest regular season start of his career. Baseball is weird.

The assassination of the Spoeank by the coward Hand Knit. In actual news the Cubs have now called up three actual pitching prospects, and they've looked... good? Like I don't think any of 'em are gonna win the Cy but Alzolay looks like he's turning into a legit MOR guy, Steele has been mostly excellent in relief, Thompson looks like solid BOR option despite only having 160 minor league IP under his belt. I can't remember the last time the Cubs brought up a wave of their own pitching prospects and they didn't immediately poo poo the bed.

Cubs release Brandon Workman, which is the correct call because he sucked molten rear end. I fully expect him to re-up immediately with a division rival and post a 1.00 ERA the rest of the way.

Dog Faced JoJo posted:Posted in the GDT but nobody goes there on a Wednesday afternoon. LaRussa makes a double switch in the bottom of the ninth and does it so that the pitcher is the runner on second for the top of 10, and he proceeds to make a base running error. The game has definitely passed this guy by. You didn't even mention the best bit, which is that there's a specific exception carved out in the rule that allows you to place somebody else on 2B if it would otherwise be the pitcher... but LaRussa didn't know that either, and I guess none of his coaches bothered to tell him. https://twitter.com/JRFegan/status/1390033735458902021

It kinda feels like we've crossed the metaphorical event horizon of pitching just being way, way, WAY more dominant than hitting. We've had what, three loving no-hitters already just a month into the season? Four if you count Bumgarner's 7 inning CG no hitter. Hitters are getting flexed on so hard I'm actually starting to come around on moving back or lowering the mound.

Yeah if anything I could see St. Louis picking Pujols up on the league minimum and giving him a handful of PH PA's - can't exactly hit any worse than Carpenter is right now so it's not even like they're burning a roster spot - so he can retire with them. What will be interesting is that part of Pujols' deal was that he couldn't affiliate himself with any MLB team besides the Angels for a good number of years after his contract expired, but that is presumably waived if he's released.

Times reports that Pujols was unhappy not only with the fact that he was benched against Rays lefty Ryan Yarbrough last night — against whom he is 6-for-9 with a pair of homers in his career — but that the decision to sit him was made by the front office rather than by manager Joe Maddon. V: lmao FO literally rang Joe up and told him to stop fuckin' running Pujols out there. I am much less critical of him wanting out now.

I'm not saying an apology solves everything, but if the players had shown even a reasonable amount of remorse or humility over the situation I'd honestly probably be over it right now. What pissed me off, and what continues to piss me off, is their victim complex and insistence that they actually did nothing wrong, and we're all just a bunch of snowflakes for getting angry. Trump did not invent the tactic by a long stretch, but he certainly crystalized in the mainstream conciseness that if you just refuse to ever except fault and lie incessantly, eventually people give up and move on. The Astros followed that playbook to a tee: both with the Osuna signing and the sign stealing: and it definitely seems like this recent complaint of their's is coming from their frustration that the playbook is not working this time and fans are still letting them have it. MLB certainly seemed to think the playbook would work when they barely slapped the Astros on the wrist and declared justice served, and sports media tried really goddamn hard to paint the Astros as scrappy underdogs last year, but the fans just aren't having it and MLB/the Astros are pissed. They want to move on and pretend nothing happened, but no dice so far and hopefully no dice for a looooong time.

Timby posted:That fits, because Boog is terrible. I know the public explanation has always been that "Len left because his heart is in radio and he really wants to call a World Series," but I can't help but feeling that Len Kasper left because the Sinclair assholes just lowballed him on an extension, or they ordered him to cut down on criticizing the team, or some combination of both. My guess is that he was sick of the rotation of dipshits Marquee insists on trying out to make the three man booth work. I wouldn't want to have to deal with Grace or Dempster either. Also it was only after Len left that Marquee finally dropped the insistence that both the announcers wear full suits in the booth.

If you're a speedy dude who is good at bunting and it's late in a no-no, you are absolutely within your rights to bunt to try to get on base. Your job is not to conform to honorable baseball bushido, it's to get on base and score runs for your fuckin' team so you can win.

It's doubly dumb because I just cannot see a CBA the union agrees to that still allows for service time manipulation. Feels like it's become such a central issue that the players will risk a lockout over it.

My plans to move out of the area are coming just in time lol. For real though the whole situation is a massive clusterfuck between the city of Oakland, Alameda County, the A's, MLB, and private development interests. Not to mention at the end of the day Oakland just doesn't have the money to meet the level of public funding the A's are looking for. Maybe the a genuine threat of moving will get something moving but I wouldn't put money on it.

Moderna and Pfizer are both ~97% effective at preventing hospitalizations from COVID complications, J&J something like 94%, IIRC. So yeah you can still get it and it can still lay you out, but for the vast majority the vaccine will spare you the absolute worst of it.
