I know I was going to mention that I would miss this game because it would interfere with my Sunday afternoon walk with one of my best buds and now I think I will be able to follow it.

I am so glad you remembered this moment.

Still kind’ve debatable. I mean, has he won any awards yet? How playoff games has he won?

Looks like the time has changed for this game from 1:30 to 4:30 per the MLB icon on my mobiular telephone.

I agree. While I thik they wouldn't get a lot for him in a trade, I do not think he would be easily replaced.

I agree that he probably won't age well, and I wouldn't sign him to an extension. But to think his production will be easily replaced is wishful thinking.

I remember your opinion of McGonigle was not very good in Spring training. You didn't think he was ready.

In theaters this summer… a brand-new adventure in horror… The Porcine Centipede.

yes, he is a good hitter when he gets going, but he has peaked as a fielder, so he's going to have to hit a lot to retain his value. He is stiff and injury prone and seems like someone who will not age well which is one of the main reasons I think he wouldn't bring much back in a trade.

He isnt a typical rookie. Its fine, we just dont agree that playing in front of 6000 people in Toledo is the same as playing in front of 35,000 people at Fenway Park. Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. 😆

I don't know that Greene is a star. But his bat is important and will not be that easy to replace. 119 wRC+ as a 22-year old, 134 as a 23-year old, and 145 through 100 games last year. Everyone remembers the last 60 games when he slumped, but the 260 games before that he definitely performed at an All-Star level. I'm surprised at how quickly this board has turned against. He wouldn't be the first guy to suffer through a 2-3 month slump but then right the ship in a big way. Way too early to give up the on the guy.

McGonigle’s first ML game was in San Diego in front of 45,000 fans. He had 4 hits.

Jalen Johnson is not a good defender.

Sorry I'm late. Fell asleep.

Yeah, vs Minnesota of all teams too

By the way, we are in a three-way tie with Minnesota and Cleveland for first place at 11–10.

Holy heck, 10 earned runs in 1.2 innings?

Well that’s skewed a lot by his last outing.

By the way, The Pitt's next season is set in November. So I am guessing that it will be Robby's first day back from his nervous breakdown/sabbatical - and he is going to walk into a bunch of unexpected changes and an emergency room that ran very well without him - which will cause an existential crisis for him. I think Thanksgiving, and a Blizzard may be part of the backdrop and the mix of the day will be a bunch of homeless people finding shelter at the hospital and making up reasons to be there (only to find out they have real illnesses), along with a terrible icy road traffic crash and maybe a mass Food Poisoning scare. Robby will not walk in as the Senior Attending right away as they will give him a few weeks to readjust. That means Abbot has moved to Days, Or Al-Hashimi has gotten her wish of two attending - herself and either Dr. Ellis (who will be a regular next season) or Dr. McKay.

Interesting start to the James Franklin era at Virginia Tech.

Tomorrow is Valdez against Crochet with a 7.58 ERA. On the face of it this appears promising. He’s under performing compared to his previous statistics so it’s not impossible he is due for a rebound. Hope that’s his next start.

No, no way. The Pitt is an outstanding show but comparing anything to BB/BCS/Sopranos/The Wire in my book is like comparing a rookie to Babe Ruth, Willie Mays or Sandy Koufax. It's just not fair. I think TV really started to change with one show in 1981 - Hill Street Blues. As far as I can recall that was the first cop show where the cops didn't always get the bad guy and sometimes the cops WERE the bad guys. Maybe intentionally (Cheif Daniels, Sal Benedetto) or screw up with heart in the right placye (J.D.LaRue). Then a couple years later came St. Elsewhere - where the doctors didn't always save the patient (previously the patient ALWAYS got saved). If you were a patient the first season of St. Elsehwere, you needed to update your will. Then TV went to another extreme in the 90s where the bad guys becaume the lead characters and the writers got you to sympathise with them - and that's when TV got really good. To black hat/white hat so much, just a lot of grey, really intense grey. The editing on Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and the Sopranos was as good, if not better, than any major theatrical film. Face it, Breaking Bad was basically a 60 hour movie.
