    MLB (Manfred) pondering the idea of a Golden At-Bat

    Once you start down this stupid road, you might as well just eliminate the connection between the fielders and hitters altogether. Baseball teams could be a line-up of four hitters who are all DH positions. Then you'd have 8 fielders who are all dynamic (regardless of their ability to hit MLB...

    Mark Bellhorn: Hero or zero?

    To your point, I think Bellhorn was a vital pick-up at a time when the Red Sox were looking to fill in some roster spots that were not making Manny/Pedro money. And at the time, moving on from Todd Walker netting them an increase in production and a roughly 1.3 million dollar savings on salary...

    Mark Bellhorn: Hero or zero?

    I didn't realize that Todd Walker had an account here. Why he calls himself 'Tim Salmon' remains a mystery.

    10/12 - Los Angeles Sucks

    Good to win. Nice to keep the other team below four goals.

    RIP Luis Tiant

    Real sad about this. A great pitcher, and the kind of character that made the Red Sox such a joy to root for.

    That demon life has got me in its Sway, man

    I wonder how much the Bruins sort of see Goalie Bob as their get out of jail free card here. It sure seems like he's been very good at making good goalies great and 'meh' goalies good. Maybe they see Korpisalo as having a bigger upside with Bob than other teams would have been able to find and...

    Pete Rose has passed

    If Rose had been hit by a bus after the 1981 season, he'd have been a first ballot hall of famer, who would be remembered positively as something like the 'ringz' version of a player like Rod Carew. But that's about it.

    Misremembered Greatness on the Red Sox

    The Peter Gammons pump-up effect was real. I'm still convinced that Frankie Rodriguez is gonna be a star.

    Giving up on being an athlete: the pickleball thread

    Reddit Link. Now I REALLY want to relitigate the Betts situation. Damn. I'm guessing he's good! https://www.reddit.com/r/Pickleball/comments/1fif8te/dodgers_star_mookie_betts_discusses_his_love_for/

    A seven point tiebreak is so tough -- a ball here, a ball there and it is over.

    Yes, this is just great, great tennis. The Joker service game at 4-4 was unreal.

    Giving up on being an athlete: the pickleball thread

    Funny question to ask if you are already playing, but whatever. If you have not played any DUPR tournaments, you don't have a rating, which is probably the easiest and simplest thing to say. I don't have one either. I don't care enough to play a DUPR event even though I play up to 7 days a...

    Nomar traded-20 years later

    I was sitting in my apartment in Seattle -- Fremont. I don't really remember what time of day it was, but I had a home office in our apartment's second bedroom. I was sitting in there and just couldn't believe it. That video of Nomar talking to the press in the hallway there is like seared into...

    SOSH Running Dogs

    On the rail trail? Wow, nice. I didn't even know that this race existed. I'd love to make this an event with some family and friends. I'm googling in a second but if I can't find it I'd love a link. 2025 might be almost enough time for us to be ready. edit: looks like a great race

    Beer Leagues, Gear, and other Non-Pro Related Items

    Years ago I very briefly thought I was moving to Lewiston. In the week or so where it looked like that was where we were headed I found the beer league situation there either pretty thin or hard to figure out. Looks about the same now, quickly retracing my steps. Maybe you already saw this, but...

    Lauko traded to Minnesota

    For the last two seasons I've been convinced that Lauko was about to explode, if he was only given a long enough leash to find his game. For his sake, I hope this is the chance he's needed for a bit now.
