I got free tickets to see two of the bands mentioned in this thread. I wasn’t a fan of either at the time but was completely blown away by their live performance. Even decades later, both are still among the best shows that I’ve ever seen. Prince - JLA - Late 80’s Rush - Palace - 1990

Outman is appropriately named at the plate and in the outfield (assuming he is still a plus defensively). I can see him being a frequent defensive replacement and maybe starting when a flyball pitcher is on the mound.

That's it!! MAGA isn't a cult, it's alien body snatchers. That would explain everything. 🤣🤣

But Perez could as he is currently hitting much better RH.

Perez has been better as a RHH anyway. Move on from Jones and Perez is the RH pinch hitter and at least he can be an average OF

I like the apps just for test results and to have a place where my appointments are. In reality, I just need to change the notification settings on my devises. The thing that set me off the other day was 24 reminders of rehab sessions. They are twice a week for 12 weeks...every one of them was a separate reminder. It was also delivered pre coffee...

This story is starting to hit MSM, it should be the end of Trump. Epstein victims are coming out to reject the Blanche nomination.

jones has been as a big a case of the team being stubborn as any. if he had any track record before last season it might be one thing, but he’s racked up a full negative WAR just as a PH, which ain’t easy to do in 1/3 of a season. You caught a little lightning in a bottle last season. bank it and move on. you platoon because numbers support it. when they don’t what are you even doing?

So there are two dozen females in the building now? Impressive!

There must be a setting in MyChart that reduces the number of reminders. I get one a week before and a day before. Beyond that, I love MyChart because I can send questions to my doctors that get answered by them or their PAs within a day. Before this I could never have called them to ask anything and expect a reply.

He also has a history of suddenly turning it around and being dominant for a long stretch. I am concerned about his lower k rate, higher bb rate so far this year though.

As a LHH, Outman doesn’t replace Jones’s presumed lefty-killing magic.

Valdez has apparently earned the right to try to work past long stretches of bad pitching. I think that would be true of any pitcher who has had enough success to garner a rich long-term contract. They get a far longer leash than a rookie or a journeyman would.

MLB has Sunday as TBD although Roster Resource is optimistic it’ll be Casey.

Harris dodged a bullet here on that one, didn’t he? 😉

It might lower the bullpen ERA, though.

How about a musical 180? So, I came around to liking 40s music in my andulthood and I listen to 40s Junction on Sirius. I like mostly swing music, although I have familiarity with sweet music as well. Just to give you an idea of how conditioned by the 21st Century I’ve become, I start hearing a song sung by Judy Garland called I’m Nobody’s Baby. So, going into the song, I’m imagining it would be about a woman asserting that she’s a strong person and not just an appendage, that’s she’s independent and can do for her own—she’s nobody’s baby, so don’t call her that, she’s a full person. But of course, this is the 40s, a world where everything, including the songwriting business, is run by men, so of course what the song is instead is a lament that she doesn’t have a man—poor me, I’m nobody’s baby, nobody loves me, boo hoo hoo.

Volume 2 is out on vinyl today. Volume 1 is out on Tuesday. I already own the mp3 versions and will have the albums up on the wall in my man cave.

What are you basing this one? The fact they play in MLS? The defense is the weak part, not much a goalie can do if his D is sub standard. If MIles Robinson plays a significant amount of minutes we are in trouble, he stinks.

I was dead set against seeing them on this tour because of the pricing. The videos that I’ve seen of the first shows has changed my mind. Seeing them in August in Detroit and my hit a Chicago show as well Also Anika as the drummer is not only killing it, she has actually doubled the number of females in the building.

Especially if Baez and Meadows are done for the season. And if Keith starts to hit with some power and Torres and Carpenter stay healthy we can carry a defensive first centerfielder. Any rebound in his bat is gravy.
