I don't know if he necessarily needs that. But I think the frame of reference is him as a #1 pick instead of the #5-7 he'd have been any other year. He just needs time to grow into the role, but i think the role of him has been like he's Cooper Flagg.

Still one of the funniest things about Sports Twitter.

MLB analysts will be like, "I know Gary Sanchez is 34, but this is the year!"

NBA analysts will be like, "This guy is toast" before they can drink.

(To be clear, it's not exactly what this article is saying)

We are now arguing over if he likes beans.

*He does*

"Can I have a drink?"

"No, those are for Marshall and Rubble."

*Marshall and Rubble have 3 drinks. I have none.*

*Lets me play out 30 seconds of story*

"Can I have these vehicles?"

*Takes them all back*

*child forces me to come downstairs to playroom*

*begins over 20 monster tricks*

"These are MY monster trucks. Don't play with them."

You know this is a completely deliberate choice that is not required, because there was JUST another shutdown and they didn’t do it then.

Anyway, not good that the admin is deliberately making air travel more annoying to try to win a political fight. Lot of people will miss flights.

The problem is have with this is that teams can overexpose themselves to win (think Rollins era Phillies) and shouldn't necessarily be penalized. It also then encourages teams to avoid the playoffs for a pick.

1) Fix free agency
2) You can't trade for a 1st round pick in consecutive seasons in a player trade.
3) You can't make a trade that brings back over 70% in expiring contracts in consecutive seasons.

The night Santa went crazy

I will accept no others

Anyone looking for another person for a fantasy baseball league (preferably dynasty)?

The three year old is now calling oyster crackers "pentagon chips", and frankly, I will not correct him

Every once in a while I’m reading Wikipedia and make my way into a science section, or as I like to call it, “Unreadable Wikipedia”

Officially old

How they got into his elbow, though ...

Lol, lmao even

Ah yes, the world is complicated, but there seem to be places that are more resistant to it than others.

If we pie chart this out in a decade or so, my guess is economic insecurity is by far the largest part of the pie.

I think the happiest countries in the world and the social breakdowns in the decades following the New Deal might disagree.

What you're seeing and saying isn't really the root of the problem. It's a manifestation of the problem.

I think the argument is that they lash out because of the economic (and other) insecurities. That if everyone were taken care of, the insecurity would be less. But when there is insecurity, people group up to get their piece because they see everything a a zero-sum situation.

Ten mins ago, I'm getting outsized negative reactions from both other beings in this house.

*food is consumed*

There is now dancing.

I get the contract situation, but you're sending two down arrow players and an interesting arm when other teams could send players seemingly heading in the right direction.

Well, you're trading a guy who hasn't been healthy for a long stretch of time at any point in his career, a guy who spent most of last year on the shelf with a shoulder injury and only pitches effectively out of the bullpen, and a decent SS prospect

For the best pitcher in baseball

There are a number of things on here i would eat but would generally not

"why did Zohran quickly endorse Hochul?!"

turns out it's better for the political fortunes of both the governor of NY and the mayor of NYC if they're on the same team and work together, who knew

Occasionally threads is ok.

Should tell him it's something different, a pellet cleanser

My wife just looks at me and asks, "Why don't you just become a Dodgers fan like me so you can be happy?" as I look at this and the Schwellenbach injury on the same day.

The Braves will literally ignore their rotation instead of going to therapy

And has a 6 start stretch where you think maybe he finally becomes an ace
