  1. I forgot the golden rule. The answer to all your question is money.
  2. But what happens when a small market team engages in an Ohtani type deal? Does this practice become too onerous in the long term for some teams? Maybe it’s not that big of a deal, I don’t know.
  3. So is this just another step in football splitting from the other sports? Or, shall we say that the other sports will soon split from football?
  4. I was so focused on trying to find the ball that I hadn’t even considered that to be targeting. I will say, I am quite appreciative that the TV PBP guy (name escapes me) reminded us 4,934 times in the final couple of minutes of regulation and all of the overtimes that a Georgia win would clinch them a playoff spot.
  5. It seems like deferred salary is being used more than before. I don’t think that’s a good thing, kicking the salary debt down the road. I understand the time value of money and those kinds of factors. What I don’t understand is how this affects the luxury tax. Is this a bit of a loophole in the CBA that might be good to keep current salaries down now but that debt exists still for the future? Or is there going to be another windfall of money to absorb that debt later on via increased streams of revenue?
  6. Yeah, but Adames would’of stunk in Detroit because the walls are too deep.
  7. I listened through it all sort of. But when he mentioned that top tier league with a team in …. Grand Rapids? Look, no offense to Grand Rapids. Nice area. But, I guess I have serious doubts about a top tier league featuring a team in Grand Rapids, and so my BS meter was enacted.
  8. I just prefer that all of the offensive guys play some sort of adequate defense. The fact that he had slightly more than 0 reps with a mitt in Detroit is quite telling.
  9. You sound like an old man. You also sound like me.
  10. I thought I saw that Oklahoma State at Colorado was a 10am local start, too. Why?
  11. Just guessing, but I wonder if he got swing happy or lost some of his plate discipline after his slow start this season?
  12. Whoa, I said suit up, not but necessary get run. Although, maybe you could have.
  13. What do you think should be accomplished by now?
  14. Pat Benatar said hell is for children. I don’t think the snowball thing will work there.
  15. I thought Kreidler and Baddoo were out of options? I gotta be honest, I’d suck as a GM.
  16. Not after he gets snagged in the rule 5.
  17. Can a voter split a vote? I suspect not, and so going with that, I wonder how many split votes might have been cast. I think the rationale is there all 3 more along the lines of 1, 1A, 1B rather than 1, 2, 3.
  18. Geez, you could’ve probably suited up last season.
  19. I heard speculation on a pod that Leonard might not have made the cut because of his defense. Ok, maybe. On the other hand, what about these guys in terms of trade value. Nobody’s going to bang down a door for Leonard, but I’ve got to think he’s got better trade value than Kreidler or Baddoo.
  20. Has anyone done anything significant except submit 40 man transactions and tend qualifying offers?
  21. Until he ****cans them and then he mumbles about how worthless they were. Funny how that works, eh?
  22. I would’ve preferred dropping one of Kreidler, Baddoo, or even Lange (sorry, not a fan of his lack of control) as opposed to Leonard.
  23. Other than that, he's quite a fine human being.
  24. I liked that look. They can keep it and keep at least 2 of Cunningham/Ivey/Beasley out there at all times.
  25. I guess it all depends upon the rest of the roster and how many guys they have playing everyday vs how many positions they can platoon. Also, what do they want to do with the DH? Is it a semi rest day for the everyday players (ie, Greene)?
