What’s silly? Would you give him two more years to stick around? Three?

Yeah, writers hated Ted Williams.

Plus, DiMaggio, sure, he had a great eye and great bat control with power, but he also faced pitchers who threw probably in the mid-80s without weirdly-shaped pitches, including hardly any sliders, so they couldn’t strike anyone out. Plus, he could hit the ball into spacious outfields where fielders were pushed back to defend against the inside-the-parker, especially in Yankee Stadium, where CF was almost 500’ and even straight left was over 400’, and most of the other parks were also well over 400’ deep in the LCF alley, which allowed singles to drop in front of them—the conditions were the best they would ever be for a super-long hitting streak.

Not a bad pick considering he’d been passed on 254 times before it.

This Colt Keith fella can hit a little bit.

Jack Flaherty and Mark Canha would like a word with you. 😉

We’re rebuilding right now!

Of all the games I have watched this year, this one has made me the saddest.

No. If Harris trades Skubal next year for even more prospects even farther away from helping us win, then he has quit and he might as well leave.

IIRC The old board was pretty excited when he was picked.

Joey Wentz, because why not

Avert your eyes: Riley Greene has a .191/.255/.234 slash line and 43 wRC+ for the last two weeks, and that's literally the worst of any hitter on the team. Just remember: he is still a young player trying to master the league.

It depends on whether Avila's team set back his development and how far, something we can't know now, and may never, but which is a reasonable thing to speculate on based on his overall tenure, so let the speculation continue apace!

I might even go so far as to hypothesize that there is a significant correlation between the incidences of crosses, flags, bible verses, and the words "patriot" and "Christian" in X bios, and the idea the person is a bad actor cloaking themselves in such iconography to fool people, and who knows, maybe even themselves.

Good point.

Another mistake was jerking Tork's position around and pretending he could learn third at the pro level, possibly as a way to cover Avila's inability to find an actual third baseman. Although he did trade for a pretty decent one ...

No I am not, but if Tork borks at first, then we've been left screwed, and even if it's not Avila's fault, he at least shares responsibility. How much it would be the Avila's team fault and how much it would be Harris's will be history for the winners to write.

If true, then that's one more position Avila left us screwed on.

It's possible a lot of MAGA are so retrograde they don't even acknowledge the existence of mental issues. "Show me where it says 'brain health' in the Bible ..."

"I've been hacked!"

"I've been everywhere, man ... in this hemisphere ..."

I love how court decorum is so clear and unambiguous that they will not tolerate even the slightest breach. I'm sure judges overstep from time to time, but I'm confident that's not the case here. The point is that courts have evolved to never tolerate even the slightest contempt or else the legitimacy of the entire proceeding comes into question, which is as it should be.

If you knew nothing going in about where people in the US lived, but you did know something about the arguments being made by 2A proponents, you might conclude from this map that North Carolina and South Carolina are the most densely populated states in the country and/or have the biggest, most violent cities in America. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/charts-and-maps
