Yeah, come to think of it I'd go to a Laurila fantasy camp

there's so much excitement in baseball; young superstars, a two-way player, unlikely playoff heroics...but we have octogenarian broadcasters talking about how bad they think the game is, and we fear a work stoppage. baseball is just unable to get out of its own way.

Ben Clemens

3:18

I'm with you

3:18

Ben - I am having a really difficult time getting past what you said about DeGrom's long hair on the pod.

Ben Clemens

3:18

I'm sorry to have caused you this pain

3:19

I just really didn't think it was that good

Laurila great call, his Sunday notes column is a must for me.

Ben Clemens

3:19

Yeah. Sorry to the other FG writers, but I've never missed a Laurila column, and I've missed at least one of everyone else's

Going back a few years, Dom Dimaggio is one of the most secretly great players of all-time IMO. Great OBP, scored tons of runs, incredible D--all skills that were grossly undervalued back in the day.

Ben Clemens

3:19

Agreed, plus he has a cool card in OOTP Perfect Team that I use a lot

Not that I'm biased

But yeah, definitely got caught by his brother's fame a bit

3:19

Carlos Martinez an interesting buy-low rotation candidate?

Ben Clemens

3:19

yes, I'd do it for sure if I were, say, the Giants

Albies' numbers hitting right handed are so much better than batting left. Why has he not switched to full time righty?

Ben Clemens

3:20

It's a really good question.

I bet the Braves have brought it up. He just looks FAR better as a righty

3:21

There's reason to wonder how real his numbers vL are, it's a small sample and all

But even by the eye test, he looks far more comfortable to me as a righty

What makes rice portuguese?

Ben Clemens

3:21

Saffron, sausage, some veggies

but mainly just that's what the recipe was called

Given trader Jerry's history is it more likely the Mariners sign a free agent for a 9 figure deal or trade a top 100 prospect for help in the majors?

Ben Clemens

3:22

Free agent. I think all the prospects are gonna be up next year, if you're Jerry you have to sell that vision at least

Appa Yip Yip

3:22

"banging scheme"

Ben Clemens

3:22

Sorry for taking this so out of context, but let's end on that

Have a great Monday everyone, and get ready for a fun World Series that definitely won't have any annoying storylines
