4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....
- Thread starter YTF
- Start date
I seek unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks to include corner infield defense.
Any objection?
What the duck, Truck?
That's Voyager, lots of just baffling decisions throughout. Like the S2 finale which features the great Suder story and skims almost entirely over Tom Paris saving the day to devote tons of time to some dumb as fuck "barbarians on a planet" drivel.
The 10th worst team from 2023, Cleveland, won the lottery and gets the top overall pick. The team with the worst record, Oakland, picks 4th. Kansas City, with the second-worst record, picks 6th. The Red Sox with the 11th-worst record will pick 12th.
Truth. I blamed the catcher for one of them that I deemed catchable.
Dalbec remains our savior. Gold glove. Invisible bat.
This is one of those things that is defended with the 'we can't criticize because we don't know the inside skinny' schtick.
How could you not love him?
Unfortunately, the Brewers enjoyed the best years of both Boomer and Cecil Cooper's careers.
I fucking hate draft lotteries.
I will reiterate my suggestion. Assign draft position by the absolute value of the difference between team record and .500.
It's not that hard to be around .500. It eliminates the benefit of tanking. We'd have more parity. More Cinderella stories in the playoffs. More volatility among playoff teams. It will chase cheapskate owners out of the game. It might make the luxury tax irrelevant.
That's why they almost canceled it until they brought in Jeri Ryan in an all but painted on body suit.
In a lot ways its such a wast of Kate Mulgrew.
He married a girl from Falmouth after the 67 season. I was one of dozens of kids running around the grounds at St. Barnabas Church that day to get a look. His wife and my sister had been cheerleaders together in high school, so my parents knew the family.
One day, offseason, my mother says we're going out. He had signed a ball for me and we were going to pick it up. When we got there, he was in the backyard and we tossed it back and forth a few times, shook my hand and signed the ball.
I was 10. Still have the ball.
With Devers and Story hurt, and Hamilton, Dalbec, Reyes, Rafaella, etc. this lineup looks a LOT like a Woo Sox lineup from last year. I mean, it's REALLY similar.
That's not a good thing.
That's not a good thing.
Right now, they're starting three players each night who are borderline major leaguers: Hamilton, Reyes and Valdez last night, and Hamilton, Reyes and Dalbec tonight.
Catching up on the thread…. This one made me visualize Hamilton, Reyes, and Dalbec lined up in front of Dean Wormer. Thanks for the laugh.
