This team will live or die with pitching, because these hitters all suck.

Nice recovery. I wish I felt confident that our offense was capable of scoring three runs, though.

What did I just watch? Runner on 2nd breaks for third, batter pops up to right, but the right fielder misses the catch, yet somehow gets the force out on the runner going back to 2nd. Wut?

Live from St. Peter Field.

Beautiful. Hung around all game long, took advantage of an error, then got the big hit to put the Mets away.

I guess they aren't going to win their 1st four games by one run.  🥲

 

Slow down there, Champ.

LMAO! Carson Effing Kelly

A sac fly from Harvey is a win.

Carp swinging out of his shoes on each pitch.

This is the second time in four games our 3rd base coach has sent a dude to an easy out.

He actually made it twice. A time-out was called just before he kicked the first one. Kid may be good...

Here's the extended cut with both kicks. Unreal.

Nice win. Those new jerseys look like Jersey Day giveaways.

I just want them to add this somewhere... 

Cool concept, but there's a lot of empty space in that D that throws the balance off for me.

Looks good if so, as best I can try to visualize it with the helmet and pants combinations.  Back to traditionally styled numbers and outlines. What I hope is they don't make a huge mess by infusing black...felt forced and I never liked it.  

Totally. Every time I hear someone on The Ticket say they want black jerseys or outlines I lose it a little bit, lol. Those unis were the worst in the history of the franchise, for the reason you mentioned: it was forced. Black works great when it's a primary team color, but it looks try-hard when it isn't. We're not the Raiders or the Steelers. We're the f**king Lions. Now with that said, I wouldn't mind a darker shade of blue. Not navy or midnight blue, but just a tad darker than Honolulu blue.

The jersey in that mock-up is honestly damn near perfect, IMO. I really hope they go back to traditional block numbers.

There was Bison Dele aka Brian Williams. 

The longer this goes unresolved, the more I think that Cam may have already ended up like Bison Dele.

I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if he had a mental breakdown and went and offed himself? 

Or if someone else got to him before the cops.

LOL 6th round pick. 

 

Oof.

Here's the full cut:

They never tried to get Slay to take a pay cut. I'm not talking about major players, I'm talking about depth players. You can't pay fringe players like top line starters. 

The Packers asked Aaron Jones to take pay cuts two years in a row. Why hasn't the NFLPA stepped in yet?

I'm cool with the philosophy as a guiding principle, but I think when you get this close to the top of the mountain, adding an impact player at a position of particular need can put you over the top. Yes, it carries more risk than draft, develop and extend, but Super Bowl windows generally don't stay open for long.

You are falling for a very carefully biased and incomplete narrative promulgated by the Bauer camp. 

You are falling for a very carefully biased and incomplete narrative promulgated by the accuser's camp.

You have to consider everything now - since the Duke Lacrosse story and the UVA Frat Rape false stories - and that's unfortunate.  Those two things did more to hurt future rape victims than to help them.    Trevor Bauer's a weird weird guy and he's probably into some weird things, but I am not 100% convinced that she's the victim she claims to be.   Is it possible (like in the Middle East) that both side are wrong?      Anyway, I don't want a guy who's going to piss off his teammates and set a bad example for the youths in the organization.    Good luck in South Korea, Trev.  (or wherever he pitches). 

We do know all of those thing, though. The texts -- and the dates they were sent -- came to light as a result of discovery, and are not in dispute. Same with the videos. She was explicit about her intentions to extort money from Bauer. Bauer's an A-hole, and if that's a deal-breaker for Harris and Hinch, cool. But I'm not sure how anyone can read those texts and watch those videos and not conclude that the accuser wasn't lying.
