My thought as well. I think FF has 2-3 more impactful years before the DH convo starts. Not exactly a fated swap, in my mind.

If Seattle is smart, they’ll hook Naylor in a 4-7 year deal. If not, I can see him landing in NY with either team (unfortunately) if either Alonso or Goldschmidt walk.

LA crowd is going to eat him alive.

Why would LA need Naylor??

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Congrats on your boys taking the division this year! I hope they can go on a run!

In case anyone was wondering if this guy is a fucking idiot.

Crowd was rough at LA. Couldn’t tell if the sound wasn’t carrying or if there seemed to were people that were there just to be there. I’m from Northern California (another set of problems there), so I’m not sure if that is an LA-centric phenomenon, if it wasn’t as issue of sound carrying in the Bowl

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

Reading that death was “almost instant” 😒

“Maybe making him unconfortable in a challenging ‘new’ position will help him through his slump”-ass thinking

Great call

Didn’t say there wasn’t. I suggesting the lay of the land wasn’t exactly the same and the two OPs points were, in fact, not exactly ‘same shit, different day’.

There’s always been propaganda, but it would be disingenuous to suggest the brush stroke remained consistent throughout the last 150 yrs.

No. Not “tomato tomahto”.
“Political advertisement” is this country with the Fairness Doctrine prior to repeal; “Propaganda” is this country after repeal. See the difference?

Do it. Trade him. The optics will be even more of a shit show.

Trade away the one star pitcher you ever threw money at. That’ll fix the public boiling-hot-cauldron-of-shit perception.

I swear to god these people aren’t living in reality.

Couldn’t agree more. It should be a no-brainer. If you want your news to be factual then it shouldn’t be a problem; and if you don’t want it factual…then what does that say??

I don’t have a plan. My response was tongue n cheek about what God said. See the narratives below for why I said what I did-

100%

Fairness Doctrine needs to be reinstated and codified at this point. At this point, we’ve basically given Americans the option to align politically based on facts or vibes, and aligning on vibes takes a lot less effort for people.

In your view, what are they doing that is effective? Not the courts. That’s a given.

So, God’s plan could be worse than what big fat nothing that the dems are currently doing. I was being tongue and cheek but I’m not really understanding the response.

Couldn’t be worse…

🤤those biscuits!

I’m having a hard time reconciling with the fact that the whole pitching squad cannot pitch well in a AAA park when every other team can.

FO scared to shake things up?

Similarly, I anticipated the A’s being a much stronger contender this year, but here we are with horrific pitching, which can’t seem to figure out how to pitch in a AAA park, despite every other team we’re playing doing a perfectly fine job.

Ugh… biggest*

Asking as an A’s fan that hasn’t had a chance to see how things are shaking out in the East-
What do you think the buggest isue(s) is/are??

BB reference has JP Sears 2025 WAR at 1.5 and I have no idea how that is.

Safe bet, but why does Jersey come to mind?? 🤔
