Having seen the pictures, I'm having trouble buying that she is 14 with a child over a year old. I have a feeling that numbers are in flux at the moment.

Not me. I want the better guy on radio because he will definitely have more freedom on what to say than on TV. Although Bobby Scales has also gotten better on the radio—he has said that Dan has taught him so much about how to be a broadcast professional this year—so I would be fine with him if they went in that direction.

I always did appreciate his honesty as well, which is why I think Andy Dirks would make a good permanent realcement, because he does the same. I wonder how much of it is led by Dan Dickerson’s own truth-telling.

That’s what seeing tens of thousands of pitches thrown your way will do for you!

They also argue that’s not what that part means.

Gotta see what he has and whether he can hack it.

Riley ran us out of a run.

This is as close to the Mawnstah seats as I could get.

Shreveport failed in his mission to pitch well enough to get flipped, and now unfortunately it cost him his job.

Guessing the first guy out of the pen today will be Cisnero, and Lange will probably be next after that.

It wasn’t just Netanyahu he was wrong on. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2009/08/the-trouble-with-charles-krauthammer

Isn’t one of the arguments of the more radical 2As that since automobiles are not specified in the Constitution, the government has a right to regulate them and require registration, but since “arms” are specified there, the government has no rights to require register? I’m pretty sure i have heard this one.

That is literally how fascism works.

There is a chance, however slight, that Will Vest has a future with this team, versus there was zero chance, even slight, that Chasen Shreve could have any future with this team. Plus, as you note otherwise, Vest is having a pretty good season this year.

Making the most of the slight talent they have and learning to win a little with it.

Great moment. I’m so glad I could be here to experience it.

Greetings from beautiful Boston, Massachusetts!

If a winner doesn’t throw cash at them as well, then sure, they might come. That’s how we got Lorenzen and Boyd.

I think they would have to sign a guy who won’t mind losing, because that’s going to be the perception of the team to the guys on the FA market. That would mean guys without better options, or who need a career reset.

I also think he is earning his shot at a #1 mid coming out of camp (unless he collapses between now and April of course). Signing a catcher to flip doesn’t feel like it’s in the cards anymore.

From MLBTR: Catchers Jorge Alfaro (31) Tucker Barnhart (33) – can opt out of remaining one year and $3.25MM Victor Caratini (30) Curt Casali (35) – $4MM mutual option with a $750K buyout Travis d’Arnaud (35) – $8MM club option (no buyout) Mitch Garver (33) Yan Gomes (36) – $6MM club option with a $1MM buyout Yasmani Grandal (35)* Austin Hedges (31) Sandy Leon (35) Luke Maile (33) Martin Maldonado (37) Tom Murphy (33) Roberto Perez (35) Manny Piña (37) – $4MM club option (no buyout) Kevin Plawecki (33) Austin Romine (35) Mike Zunino (33) Second Basemen Hanser Alberto (31) Elvis Andrus (35) Adam Frazier (32) Josh Harrison (36) Tony Kemp (32) Tommy La Stella (35) Whit Merrifield (35) – $18MM mutual option with a $500K buyout Jorge Polanco (30) – $10.5MM club option with a $1MM buyout Jonathan Schoop (32) Donovan Solano (36) Kolten Wong (33) Which of these look best and/or most likely to you?

I think Baddoo is the only one of the four who will still have options next year. If we can’t strengthen the roster over the winter, and we can’t throw them into trades for anything useful, we might give them one more chance and then try to waive/DFA them for org depth if they flop.

Here’s some interesting background on the creation of the EPA (note that the website of a party with interest): https://www.nrdc.org/stories/why-we-need-epa

Speaking of NewsHax (or NewsHacks, if you prefer): To be clear, saying in a lawyerly fashion that the election results are “legal and final” is definitely not the same as saying they are valid with no evidence of fraud.
