Regarding Meadows, we drafted him out of high school, so he’s been around for awhile. But he won’t turn 26 until after this season. Hopefully he regains enough hit tool to return in at least a platoon role. He should be entering his prime before long. 

Neither did I.

“I am shocked, shocked I say, to learn there was gambling going on.”

How about the US gov tells them to apply to the Confederacy for funding, cause they just dropped their coverage with the United States.

Thanks LLM, I appreciate the updates.

I still own multiple Firesign Theater albums. 🥸

WWJF?

I am hoping for a ceasefire agreement to have both sides, Bombers and Pfife, not post anything in this thread for 48 hours. All those in favor?

Yeah, but what about his socks?

I don’t hate Boston now quite as much as when they had both Lucic and Marchand, but yeah, I would be glad to see them lose.

Nice work by Faedo.

Rubbermaid & Patchouli. Band name or album name?

Or cherrypick the good, temporary results and ignore the rest.

I doubt this would happen, but what if the Tigers decided to send down Tork, Keith and Meadows all at once? From a PR/fan perspective spread the attention with the focus on it being a temporary thing to get these young players on track. And the corresponding move? Activate Urshela, and bring up Malloy and Baddoo or Kennedy.

OF is Greene/Vierling/Perez. DH is Carpenter/Malloy, Canha is 1B, Ibanez at 2B, Baez, Urshela at 3B.  McK is the main IF sub, plus Kennedy if they brought him back up. Carpenter/Baddoo as the main OF subs, with Malloy another limited option. I think Hinch would prefer the extra IF over Baddoo.

I don’t know whether that would work, and it could fail horribly I guess.

I think they’d score more runs, maybe lots more, and not lose that much on defense. Ideally at least two of the three demoted guys gets it together in a month and we can have options for any of the replacements that don’t cut it.

Ah, too slow on my part-Hong just copped to it.

Yeah, but everybody looks great playing against the USC defense. 😎

(Admitting to getting the dig in on Hongbit and his hatred for Oregon 😉).

But it’s also true.

Franklin? Trice?

If you want to DH Tork for a short spell but not play Cahna at 1B every day, Ibanez has played 1B 22 games in the last three years and is on the 40 man. He’s rehabing at Toledo now. Can play third too to get Vierling back into the OF if you want to sit Meadows a few days. Not a solution, but a possible temp plan.

Agreed.

Oregon has a law that restricted noncompete clauses…unfortunately one of my past bosses paid big bucks to the local hotshot business law firm to craft a confidentiality clause that functioned in a similar way. Among other weasel power moves. 🤬

Again: Benched = bullcrap. He injured his throwing hand and sat a game. 

Thanks for sharing the season here guys. As always, I appreciate the knowledge and videos posted. Let’s hope for the aforementioned lottery luck, a good off season and go get ‘em starting in the Fall.

Both Zimmerman and Rittenhouse went out in the streets carrying guns. In Zimmerman’s case he clearly was looking for trouble. I do not give Rittenhouse the out of “protecting his community”. That’s too much an abdication of responsibility. I feel he was expecting confrontation, carried a weapon, and exercised very little self control. And people died as a result. Whether those people were “bad” is not very important to me. Rittenhouse pulled the trigger.

Well @1776, you have stopped referring to “open borders”, but still use words like chaos in describing it. We all have our perspective, I I think the way you frame the issue clearly shows yours. No doubt the topic will factor in the election, we’ll see how much so.

Well one of the medics have to check the GIs for STDs.
