The geriatric old man who was supposed to run the country got defeated and now he spends his days selling red hats and tee shirts and collects donations from a bunch of suckers.

Manning to IL, Angel DeJesus recalled. If Angel DeJesus can't save them nobody can.

I can see myself getting tired of Monroe, but so far he doesn't bother me. Dickerson is great at working with an analyst. We will see if he helps Monroe improve. Also, Monroe has worked on TV where it seems they are expected to be cheerleaders. He might change if he is on radio permanently.
-
Price is honest when he does analysis, but he is increasingly relying on his cute phrases to get himself through broadcasts.
-
I don't think Price really offers much anymore other than being folksy. Monroe is not great either, but I don't think he takes anything away from the broadcast, at least not yet.

That is a good point. Still, 80 wrc+ is not a black hole for a catcher. I think you'd see a black hole if Garneau became the starting catcher for a full season. Given Barnhart's 80 wrc+, his platoonability, his good defensive repuation and the fact that they didn't give up anything of value, I'd say it looked like a pretty good move. Of course, if his defensive reputation is not real or his offense falls off the cliff, he won't help them.

Ugly.

Barnhart just framed a pitch that bounced in the dirt!

Morris would pitch with a cracked fingernail.

He usually has an OPS of around .700. That is about average for a catcher.

Damn those lawyers. I think there are even worse than sabers.

One of the classic threads of MTS.

There will most likely be new fielding metrics which make today's metrics seem silly. However, there will be no way to evaluate the players of today because the data used in the future won't be available for today's players and certainly not players who played before statcast. I don't know how much more they can do with offense as far as evaluating results. There will be better predictive and scouting tools, but I think the results metrics for offense won't be that much further advanced. There might be some tweaks using more situational data, but I don't they'll be questioning today's great hitters.

Glasses are the biggest problem. There are ways around it, but I don't want to go through that hassle every time I need to take the mask on or off.

Here is an interesting site showing the wage breakdowns for employees at many large companies. Also included is the company revenue and CEO pay. https://www.epi.org/company-wage-tracker/

I wear a mask whenever it is required, but I find them uncomfortable. I never get used to them.

Batting .300 every year was good enough back then. His on base percentages were very good too, but he probably didn't deserve 18 all-star appearances

I may have gotten it in January when everybody was getting the Omicron strain. A couple of family members (who I didn't have a lot of contact with) tested positive and I got a cold. I thought it was better just to stay home rather than run around trying to get a test.

He also said in a recent broadcast that Cabrera "was approaching Hall of Fame numbers" as if Cabrera wasn't at his level yet.
-
He's got the whole team doing it now.

I like baseball reference's interface better, but there are some things I can't find there which I can find at FanGraphs. I use both of them a lot. FanGraphs tends to be slower and has more ads even though I paid a fee to get rid of ads. I know if I paid a higher fee, I could get rid of all the ads, but they didn't offer anything else that I wanted. The fee for Stathead at B-Ref is definitely worth it for me.

Threatening to overturn the foundation of our Democracy is no big deal. OK.

Even so, you'd still have to be dumb to pay $35.
