Oh, great question!

I mean, I'd be a lot less interested

Going to and watching baseball games is a blast; I'm watching Jays/Braves right now

3:13

I don't need to watch every game to enjoy baseball, and I have fun analyzing it even when I'm not watching, but I think watching it SOMETIMES is a necessary part of the fun

3:14

Some of my OOTP leaguemates wanted me to write analytical articles about our teams and I just wasn't into it

Doesn't scratch the same itch

Cardinals really going into the season expecting 40yo Wainwright to be an ace?

Ben Clemens

3:15

I suppose so, given Flaherty's injury. They don't really need him to be an ace, they need him to limit homers and walks, and I think he'll do that fine, but we have them as the 24th-best rotation in baseball and that's not great for a contender

5 Run Homer

3:15

How many years do the Astros have left in this competitive cycle? They keep losing pieces, and I know Yordan and Tucker are young and great but I can't help but see a team on the decline

Ben Clemens

3:16

Uh... I think they're gonna be fine. Yordan, Tucker, the young pitching is good, I like Pena, supplement it with some veterans, you could keep this going for quite a while

Colton Anderson

3:17

Think there's any chance Alex Reyes gets innings this year for the Cardinals?

Ben Clemens

3:17

Innings? Sure. Probably not many though

Alright guys, I'm gonna go edit some positional power rankings for tomorrow. Have a great day, and to whoever asked me what's for lunch, homemade hummus today but I made some GREAT kung pao chickpeas over the weekend, gonna run that one back soon

Have a great week!
