Maybe, sure but probably won't come here, no, no, no, no.

Bad knees aren't a result of poor conditioning?

Yeah, if somebody needs a year to know what they have in today's information age, that's a problem. I could see the "well, let's see how players improve with different processes in place" line though.

Here's the media guide entry for the new strength coach this year: And the new Performance Coach

He dabbles in pseudoscience; I'd keep him away from there. The new staff seems to be doing pretty well in this regard after Harris cleaned that house. I could see him as a special assistant as somebody else mentioned. Maybe add him to the broadcast mix.

I was coming of age as Tram and Whitaker were on their last legs. I remember them as the greatest double play combo of all time, not the declined/injury bugged players they were in the early-mid 90's. Edit: heading to their BR page, Tram's decline was a lot more harsh than Whitaker...

Big Supplement, I bet.

Man, the only thing worse than arbitrary endpoints is combining it with arbitrary statistic choices.

There needs to be a line in the rulebook for it to be overturnable. There is no halfway rule, no wrist break rule. All that stuff is third hand hearsay passed down. The rule is umpire judgment, which makes it a difficult one for an umpire like Angel who completely lacks it.

As for check swings, the rule is very vague... Umpire judgment. You can't really review/overturn that.

I've seen the challenge system in action and endorse it completely.

They are also roughly 20 games under .500 if you neglect their best 11 game stretch.

On the ballot after the 2028 season, inducted in 2029. That assumes first ballot, which... I'm not 100% sold on. There's a lot more voters who hold things like domestic violence and drunk driving against players these days, and that number is only going to go up in the next five years.

Arbitration eligible: Tyler Alexander Akil Baddoo (I think, he is above my projected Super 2 Cutoff) Carson Kelly (If option is declined) Austin Meadows Casey Mize Jake Rogers Tarik Skubal Spencer Turnbill Trey Wingenter I've got Alex Lange as the first player below the Super 2 Cutoff. It's possible I'm off because counting days of service is tough.

Out of options next year: Miguel Diaz Zach McKinstry Zack Short Tyler Nevin Joey Wentz Andrew Vasquez Nick Maton

No, it's pretty typical.

None of those. Flores, Dingler, and maybe Montero. From my sheet... Minor league free agent eligible. If re-signed to a minor league deal, they are Rule 5 eligible.

So you mean to say Sportskeeda.com isn't reliable?

One friend I was talking to (who opted against the ol' vaccine and got a bad case of 2021 Delta) is still struggling with sense of taste. I think he said anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup is inedible.

Another drag queen in Jacksonville caught with minors. Did I say drag queen? I meant youth group leader at a local church. My mistake.

According to one study. Not doubting it, but beware the publication bias endemic to studies that may stray from the common knowledge.

Also, who cares how much effort/money went into that gift? It's stupid he is even getting gifts and is not entitled. Good on the A's in this regard if this is a middle finger to this new custom.

I got the updated COVID and Flu shots simultaneously Friday. No issues getting it in Florida. I probably shouldn't have drank as much as I did Friday night because Saturday morning was rough. I forgot to do shoulder press exercises the day before that I normally do, which helps reduce the arm pain because the deltoids are in regeneration mode. I still have some arm pain this time. 60 hours later.
