Rays up 9-3, so unless AJ Hinch is hired as their manager for the 9th inning, they will be 13-0.

If idiot Avila decided to not bring Chafin back or re-engage Fulmer, and instead try to build back a guy who had not pitched in 3 years, people would call him an idiot.

Ian Happ signed extension, so poor free agent class this winter gets just a little worse.

what is the standard draft value chart that teams are using? this one reads that attaching a 5th to a 2nd, should move you up about 3 spots https://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/draft_trade_value.htm

reminds me that Trump had that wacko cabinet meeting (2018?) where he had everyone sign his praises as he went around the room. but, not a cult.

Things that could be easily predicted: Miggy would continue his 6 year run of incompetence Schoop would be one of the worst MLB hitters Young players (either over rated or mis coached) would struggle Meadows would still be suffering Pitchers would continue to get injured at a fast clip Bullpen would regress Those of us that begged for them to pay - or overpay - for some competent major league players, so the on-field product would not be so embarrassing, were basically ridiculed. This is on Scott “Calculated Risk” Harris. There was no need to piss away more seasons under the guise (really “the lie”) of “analysis” or “assessment”. A blind man could see this team was garbage and needed to be improved. Instead, he just sat on his hands because he knows Avila will be blamed.

Nevin (2-4, 2b, BB) and Malloy (1-3, 2b, 2 BBs) keeping it going. Nevin in LF; Malloy at 3b (first error - throw)

one of the biggest things Biden needs to do is get as many normal judges into office while he can. the McConnell-Trump lunatics are going to destroy everything

right now, LSU might have top 2 picks: Crews is still batting over .500 and Skenes is having a Mize-like season.

do you really want to use 18 on Hooker?

not so perfect mock 🤪 3. DETROIT LIONS (VIA ARI): QB ANTHONY RICHARDSON, FLORIDA Trade: Detroit sends Nos. 6, 48, 81, 2024 1st, 2024 4th; Arizona sends No. 3

would like to move up from 18 to maybe 12 (Houston) to grab Witerspoon/Gonzalez if one of them is available

If Young or Stroud are there at 3, some team will pay a QB premium price to Az to move up. Heck, maybe if a team is all in on Richardson, the same thing could happen. It won't be cheap.

these first 40 games could be pretty humiliating

Rays 9-0 now, after 11-0 win, Red Sox up next.

Paredes and The Rays are 8-0. You can only beat who you play, but they opened with Det, Wash, Oakland, so that helped.

Kudos to the organization for its support ( which I assume is genuine) and if this is his last MLB salary for a while or forever - for giving him a nice 4.3M salary when some organizations would have cut bait.

there is absolutely no reason for him to think there will be consequences for his actions - and he almost certainly correct. democrats are pussies. and MAGA know that a hearing = cash from the rubes

that might be too complimentary at this point. i wonder what Metzler has to say about what the Rays thought they were giving up?

Initial minor league assignments look done: Lakeland: Graham and Santana both stay for now, in a rotation with Gold and Sequera. WMI: Jung and Pacheco and Campos and not much else. Luis Garcia demoted here. Erie: Keith and Crouch. Interested to see what happens when Dingler comes off DL.

Soto came in with a man on 1st: K, 2R HR, K, BB, BB, K

Schoop, coach wants to see you.

Hooker to TB at 19 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-mock-draft-2023-hendon-hooker-to-buccaneers-lions-jump-at-opportunity-to-pick-bijan-robinson/
