MAGA taking it well

Flaherty is going to a problem for Harris. They can extend him, but the years are not going to be agreeable to a team that thinks they can find another Flaherty every winter. They can hold onto him and sign him in the winter, but the price will only be higher then. They can let him go for a comp pick, but that provides no help for 4 years. Or they can trade him, and absolutely, it would need to be for a guy who is ML ready. He couldn't meet the moment when trading ERod; no idea if he is able (willing?) to make a big, impactful move.

Dingler is having a monster May. Going to be 26 later this season so need to get a look at him in Detroit at some point

they are, yet again, telling us all what they will do; and, yet again, people will ignore these confessions; and, yet again, be shocked - SHOCKED I SAY! - when they do what they said they would do

no reason to think Gores has made a good decision here; history clearly tells us that; until he shows otherwise, Langdon is a horrible hire

per rulebook, call was correct. I don't think it should have been called, because the amount of interference was so very very minor. But as soon as IFFR called, batter was out. but play is not dead, as runners can advance at their risk

this may have been correct, but crazy to call it

the person most responsible for not having any viable alternatives to Javy at SS is Scott Harris.

said no one. ever.

what premium would they have to add on to get Flaherty to re-up for this crap for five more years? $20M?

Harris' moves have mostly worked out. His issues are 1) patience vs. complacency and 2) risk appetite. At some point he is going to have to take a risk; otherwise he's just treading water forever waiting for Lakeland talent to arrive.

reminds me of when Little Marco voted against his own immigration bill.

i was happy to get something for Greg Soto; probably should have moved Lange for a DSL SS when they could

"We spent a year incorrectly doom-casting a recession that never came; here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden."

another person not interested in policy, but just more clicks

well now

"The decision was 6-3" If Trump wins, that's hard coded for the rest of my life.

good point. this is yet another reason we are probably doomed to a slow dismantling of a functioning USA. Social media memes are more important than actual legislating. People literally want a sick burn more than actaul public policy from their politicians.

not much to see; he talked for 15 seconds, the rest of the guys kept some distance. he left and Lange looked a bit puzzled

HInch does not even make a top 20 list of problems with this team

she is still the best VP candidate for Dump - attracks some normals

took a while for the Tigers approach to take root, but now Canha is fully on board with controlling the zone

closer to last place CWS than the first place Clevelanders - sounds about right

yep. people made fun of them for (gasp) trying to get better last winter. imagine how completely crazy it is that front offices have to defend their choices to try to improve their teams.
