biting nails over here

a little cushion sure would be nice here

Must be the money! Pitchers will get dinged in contract negotiations/arbitration for ERA. No ghost runner earned run = a non-zero impact on keeping ERAs low

welp, he sucks again

Is a young Julie Andrews there?

sounds more like a term of endearment for a cellmate

is MLB Network hot?

this was my thought when i saw the story

Torkelson spends significant time in AAA, Mark Canha is the primary 1B

That is my recollection of 2011 with Brad Penny, maybe that is who gehringer_2 was thinking of

I'll second that, it is a fun book. No analysis, just tales

I know a lot of people on here don't like Turning the Corner but I think it is the best of the bunch. There is some personal banter, but based on stuff I've listened to the personal stuff on TTC is much less than other podcasts. I've tried listening to podcasts from The Athletic, not Tigers-focused but just baseball podcasts, and there is much, much more personal banter and inside-joking on them than on TTC. For me, those are positively un-listen-able. TTC I can manage.

I think the answer to that is "no." In contract law, "consideration" is anything given in exchange. I read this provision to use the phrase "cash consideration" to mean cash given in exchange.

Every time I think about Kerry, I think about September, and then I think of Boesch. Crossing my fingers

kennedy went to the same HS as mike trout. no known significance.

Call me presumptuous, but I wonder what was the name that Bemboom's family told to the person at the window at Ellis Island or Locust Point, that ended up as 'Bemboom'

No colts, just Colt

Plus, he's a ****ty rapper

That could be. There was definitely a press conference (or press availability) where Al offered the MLB rationale
