    2024 MiLB Injuries & Other Affronts

    This one is real rough View: https://twitter.com/SmittyOnMLB/status/1788579387303923790?t=17CuYZjRloOPz1DmHn3mxA&s=19 I was told it was a “significant knee injury” and Johanfran Garcia will undergo surgery. He’s out for the season

    I will say Bill wanted absolutely no part of that toast with Kraft. He had to be pushed to do that by the couch

    So one cool thing about being there in person is seeing how often people go away from the script. Most of the athletes kept to the prompter, a few did some stylistic deviations, the comedians were more comfortable ad libbing. Kevin Hart was doing a lot of that completely off the cuff and on...

    Yeah we had an absolute blast there. I'm not gonna posit it made sense to fly out to see this but I have absolutely no regrets. Most of them killed and it was the kind of closure for the dynasty that felt right

    Place is about 3/4 full and they are warming up the crowd with a DJ about as old as Tom Brady

    The Heritage SPs (1-100) are just the worst. It is a set builder but the SPs require buying so much to build it.

    It is pretty normal Heritage stuff. If you like the rookie auto list and stye it can be fun. It is overpriced though.

    Did I just effing see that happen? Dumb af from Tatum but Bam should be out

    After a handful of releases into 2024 baseball, I've stayed pretty strong in keeping out of the releases. Fanatics has pushed the price point to card quality ratio a bit too far out of whack. Flagship seems like a complete loser to me at this point (it's already hitting discounts at retail)...

    You know...I give a lot of grace for most athletes who sign because it's kind of a thankless business for many players they're asked to sign a lot of things for very little. Brady is taking several thousand per item per person, he can do better than that. I'm actually kind of thinking he didn't...

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    We should remember that Atlanta pick when describing the front office that passed on Belichick for Raheem Morris.

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Just to echo this, here are the 3B who would be even somewhat viable trade targets making 10m+ per year Yoan Moncada (24.8m) Chris Taylor (13m) Ryan McMahon (12m) Eugenio Suarez (11.25m) Moncada is on the 60 Day IL, Chris Taylor is hitting .051 and has two years left on his deal, Ryan McMahon...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Matt Stairs is 5'9" and played 294 games at first, Pablo Sandoval is 5'10" and played some first. While a legit substantial disadvantage, first base isn't a carnival ride. Again, this is a "last ditch" suggestion and Refsnyder actually has MLB play time there and is the more obvious move, but...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    I don't think we're particularly far out on any of this to be honest. I agree he isn't in the ideal lineup construction while Devers has to be a DH (and rushing him back to the field isn't worth that risk), and you agree we have no reason to cut him presently. I think we also agree on the team...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    And the Sox rostered JDM to the very end. Like, I have no issue with the benching in this scenario, but my main point is that Yoshida isn't unplayable in LF unless he truly is MUCH worse than most people think - some truly egregious butchers have played and will continue to play COF roles - and...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Is it that he's no longer a viable OF or that Cora thinks there are three better options for that spot at this moment? And how long are Jarren Duran, TON, and Abreu going to stay healthy for? The Sox played Manny Ramirez in LF for years, bad defense can play.

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    I'm not nearly as critical on the benchings as I thought I would be - there's legit reasons for all of it, but in no world is a 40-man spot more important than an OF who is an above league average bat. If they decide to trade him it should be because they're VERY comfortable with their OF/DH/3B...

    So, my unpopular opinion, I really don't mind Onyx stuff in the unlicensed third party realm. This set looks rough - the cuts were off, the collation sucked (though honestly collation for Topps and Panini has kinda gone in the shitter too - just watch a handful of breaks and track the same...

    I think the Post is just guessing off of Comedy Central's roasts and people who will be at Netflix is a Joke Fest. To your point, most major comedians will be in the area for this and all you can really rule is are people who otherwise have gigs that night. I think Burr is a safeish guess, and...
