  1. Surgery would likely be a last resort. They will probably have him focus on strengthening his core and his legs. They won't be contenders in 23 or 24, so why risk pushing him too hard. Illitch Family - fulfill your promise of building up The District or this curse will continue.
  2. If these conspiracy fuckers want to kill themselves by taking drugs meant for horses, then fine, I don't have a problem with it. But forcing it on kids? Because Autism? Can't cure autism, idiots. Stop treating your kids like there is something wrong with them, there isn't, this is who they are, lean to embrace who they are.
  3. Jackson Jobe - a lost 2023..................I'm telling you, there's a curse on
  4. So far Vierling hasn't really proven (in limited sample size) he's much better than Victor Reyes. Hopefully he changes that this year. Just one of those guys where it looks like everything's there, but he needs to put it all together. Hopefully our coaches unlock him and several others.
  5. I find it interesting that coming off a season with the worst offense we can remember that we're debating the 5th OF and Utility Man positions and that's it. Feels like they shouldn't have so many spots sewn up, as bad as they were.
  6. That's bugged me for awhile. All those years of draft picks and Avila couldn't come up with any except the obvioius #1 pick? A neon sign that points to his incompetence.
  7. Yes, he'll never go to jail. He MIGHT get cuffs, but that's about it. Biden would pardon him in a second (if it's Federal). Despite what we're told growing up, we're not all the same under the law. If that was the case Nixon would have gone to jail.
  8. It might be a good idea to have Kerry play some 1b in the minors. It would increase his value if he could just be adequate there.
  9. Isn't that how they define a pitch clock violation?
  10. But he (Vierling) has played 57 innings there, so, in a pinch, they can use him there. I don't think they are expecting to give a young guy like Tork a lot of days off. Greene, Tork, Javy are going to be your everyday guys, the rest of it is like Lee said, mix & match, which is how AJ likes it. Generally, if you can't play more than one position, you probably aren't going to be on this team. Wouldn't be shocked to see Jake Rogers take practice at first base. I would guess that Schoop starts 80% of the games at 2nd (unless he can't hit) and Maton probably starts 75% of the games at 3rd. Nevin will be on the team when he's healthy and ready, so I think then we see either Carpenter or Baddoo get sent to Toledo. But I also think there is a strong possibility that Miguel is on the DL frequently this season. I don't know that Baddoo has earned it this Spring. If Nevin is ready by Opening Day then I think it's very likely Akil goes to Toledo. They can use Vierling in CF, Meadows in both corners and Nevin in the corners. Baddoo was a great story two years ago, but it may have been one of those stories where he was just so green that he was just playing (knowing he would stay on the team). With actual expectations he hasn't thrived. He seems to be that Mikey Mahtook/JaCoby Jones type of athletic guy who just can't hit consistenly..........the athletic talent is there.
  11. Vierling can play first base. Maton could probably play first as well. Nevin will make the team if he's healthy, but it seems like he's going to be out for awhile.
  12. Its going to be Maton with Hernandez, Short or Kreidler backing up). They don't have an everyday starting leftfielder, it's going to be a combo of Baddoo, Carpenter and Vierling. Barring injury all three guys are on the team.
  13. Oh, its wrong, but there are a lot of people that think dog fighting is just fine.
  14. that's what I believe, so is there really just one position left out of the 13?
  15. BREAKING NEWS - A lot of people think that what they did isn't wrong.
  16. What position battles are left. Is it down to Backup Catcher (Rogers vs. someone else) and Utility infielder (Hernandez vs. Short vs. Kreidler) ?
  17. We have a Sutton already. How many Suttons do you need?
  18. I bet the Packers will be relieved to move on. They hadn't won a title in a decade anyway.
  19. Aaron Rodgers announces that he intends to play for the Jets.......................Well then fucking play for the Jets. He's gotta tell everyone first, right? He can't just get the deal done. I've never seen an athlete beg for this much attention. Dude's a billionaire (or close to it) and his own family hates him. I understand.
  20. Harris is a depth/rotational guy. Nothing wrong with keeping him around. Amari's probably gone. That was a quick downfall.
  21. Kevin Bacon's daughter looks just like Ally Sheedy.
  22. Looking forward to Bob Odenkirk's new series Lucky Hank. Debuts on Sunday. I trust Bob completely. I swear I won't expect it to live up to Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad and I swear I won't be disappointed if the first couple eps are slow.
  23. Jennifer Jason Leigh is 6 years older than Pauline Kael in 1974, but looks younger than Kael did (the 70s were different). That could be a good guess. The rest of my guess is just for fun, except Sam will be in it, even if just for one scene.
  24. Oh my god..............Pauley Shore may win an Oscar one day.
