What would be a worse fate: traded to the Athletics, or traded to the Rockies?

the former

Is lasagna a sandwich with cheese and sauce on top?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

only if you're eating it with your hands

12:55

I dont' believe a sandwich you eat with a knife and fork is still a sandwich

if you eat a grilled cheese with a knife and a fork, it's a savory napoleon

you ever listen to the band Mastodon? Some of their stuff is like old metallica where it's sort of classical music chops wise

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I was never really a metal guy and my tastes have gotten softer over the years

Yeah Well Hiura Towel

Fundamentally immoral to turn the plaything of a billionaire into a public good? Way better than turning poor people's houses into a freeway.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Yes. Using eminent domain to seize FRIGGING ENTERTAINMENT companies is an abomination

it's not either/or

there's zero coherent argument that a sports franchise is public infrastructure

12:58

and my fellow Baltimore residents hate when I mention this, but Irsay would have been a gigantic goddamn idiot to NOT move out of the town the second Maryland started hinting about playing legal games with eminent domain.

Of the star 1B over the past decade or so, are you surprised Freeman has outlasted most of them?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Not really, he's generally projected at or near the top

(also note that this is as far into politics as I'm willing to tread)

Back to Freeman

1:01

In 2017 at 27, Freeman had the second-best rest-of-career WAR projection among 1B (behind Bellinger OOPS)

1:02

Even by 2020, Freeman had only slipped to fourth despite entering his age 30 season

In 2020 it was Bellinger (56.4, age 24), Alonso (32.0, age 25), and Olson (28.0, age 26)

1:03

On that note, time for me to head out for another wek!
