I hope "incredible" was sarcastic. The people who will whine about that can chew glass. Eliminating egregious calls is a godsend.

If you follow @umpscorecard.bsky.social you'd realize it happens A LOT. I'd guess weekly where the calls were bad enough to swing the outcome.

I'm totally okay with this. Get it right, that's all that matters.

Who else has a fairly strong need for a Center?

Oh dang, can't recall ever being this excited for a sports documentary. Has there ever been a better example of the new kid waking up the stodgy old geezer from their slumber?

Quite happy with the current TV and Radio lineup, but I so miss his aged-in-an-oak-barrel voice.

You answered your question with the 2nd paragraph. Most will stay at a 5-man rotation, but between off-days and spot starts for various reasons, will give additional rest to the top of the rotation on a regular basis.

His 18-1 season was the stuff of legends for a kid growing up in the 70s. And then you find out it was still only 3.2 WAR. Ha, you won't get any WAR hate here for shattering childhood myths.

Evergreen: either enforce all rules or change them as needed.

Give me an o/u of 81 and I'm betting the mortgage. If I gambled, which I do not.

Ha, you matched up perfectly with the Red Sox, but one of you never blinked I guess.

This is why I'm pleased with Breslow's offseason and more optimistic than most apparently -- with all the additions we still have considerable tradeable assets (OF). Which hopefully lets us clean up the remaining... imperfect fits.

Can't access Fenway spray chart for him right now... doubles machine off the monster?

I feel like it's still possible. We don't match up great with AZ (both looking for RH bats?), so I think it would take a significant SP as a start. I'd be okay with that. Mark Vientos as a consolation?

Strong agree. I am quite optimistic about the core and the pitching depth. But it's... kludgy. One too many OF, missing a power bat in IF (with an overage of utility types), and a vestigial DH (Yoshida). One big move could fix most of it, but the options have dwindled.

Understatement of the century

Been in the minority loving Breslow's off-season, but if he is anything but a utility guy...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

I'm pretty coordinated, and I can barely make stick figures on that tool of Satan.

Especially for a duplicitous prick.

Bold assertion. What is your evidence for this (since I know very little of his history before the Sox).

They traded him for getting out of that contract. Anything else was gravy.

Don Lemon is one of FOUR Black journalists arrested.
This is fascism.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Agree that one for one wouldn't be enough, unless you were getting 2023 Paredes (which isn't likely).

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

I am aware.

Aside from the 17 bigger issues with this, do you know how much that will cost? Just flushing money down the toilet.

Warming a little to Paredes. Still prefer Marte, but how would the packages for those two compare?

Trump Marks First Year In Office With Unhinged Racist Rant Targeting ‘Very Low IQ’ Somalis President Donald Trump spent the first anniversary of his second term on...

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this.

We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...
