are you on the "kill the error" bandwagon ?

just a bad month or is nimmo broken? seemed like he had just figured some stuff out!

Everybody's going to slump, plus the league adjusts. You can think he's improved and still think some regression was likely

As a Yankees fan, I miss Manny, Pedro, and Youk. The Red Sox are far too friendly and likeable these days

WHY DON'T YOU LIKE PEDRO

Has anyone figured out why Flock of Seagulls was singing about Iran and how far away it is?

They behead you in Iran for those haircuts

All kidding and ribbing aside about the Royals...the story on their prospect Carter Hope's addiction and recovery on The Athletic website was amazing and inspirational. Kudos for the Royals bringing him back in the organization.

It was a good story
Rusev Day!

I am strangely saddened by the imminent break up for Aiden English and Rusev/Lana. Do you think that WWE will do the right thing by moving English to Raw to team with Elias to create a WWE heel band?
AvatarDan Szymborski

WWE do the right thing?

Can we talk about Dave Martinez's job security after last night?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:14
Not sure if Rizzo is out of free firings
Morbo

Because the optics of letting a pitcher remain in the game in a save situation after hitting two batters to load the bases are pretty bad...

Should the Padres extend Freddy Galvis for another year, until Tatis is ready?  Would any other team seriously want him?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:15
No. Some teams can use a fill-in.
Galvis woul dhave actually been moderately useful.

I know Juan Soto's the big new thing, but the things Ronald Acuna is doing at 20 is pretty ridiculous, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:15
He's amazing.

Ohtani has the best OF arm.

So Acuña is fun, right?

shaking my head at folks criticizing Bote for celebrating after hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth, with his team down by 3 and with two outs and two strikes. I'd do cartwheels around the bases if that were me...and if I could do a cartwheel
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:15
Even the NFL softened up on celebrations
3:17
I think when there's a walkoff homer, some time a team needs to celebrate with AN ENTIRE PLAY ON THE FIELD
Bote gets around to the plate stops and starts speaking
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
DO THE WHOLE PLAY
3:18
Or like a whole musical.

I said generic fig newtons..big difference...Then how about the Orioles are the Necco Wafers of baseball?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:18
What do they call generic fig newtons?
I don't think I've ever noticed.
I'd name my generic fig newtons fig joules.

With his strikeout problem becoming more pronounced is “faster Dan Uggla” a decent comp for Franklin Barreto going forward?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:18
It's not the worst comp - Uggla was solid for awhile

I'm sure this question has been asked but if teams were literally their name then who would win? My money is on the Dodgers,  since they would dodge any move against them. A great defense wins championships.
