You'll love Bend! Summertime in Eastern Oregon is absolutely gorgeous. Will the Mariners fandom reignite back in the PNW?

It was 75 and gorgeous when we were out there for the interview, so yeah, easy to see why everyone is moving there.

Bend Oregon is a long way from any MLB stadium.

Dave Cameron

12:58

So is Winston-Salem. I'm used to it.

Hahahahahaha Remember when you said Swihart was untouchable in any Hamels trade?

Dave Cameron

12:59

No, because i didn't say that. I said that I'd trade Swihart for Hamels, but not Mookie Betts.

I'll give the flip-side of the advice you gave on parenting books: If you're the kind of person who needs to know the very basics, such as if neither of you is in the medical profession, then go with a simple overview like "Eat, Sleep, Poop." This should actually help reduce freakouts, because you will be able to focus on what matters and cut out the insignificant in many circumstances. That said, trying to learn everything about parenting before the kid comes is a fool's errand. (Bonus: If you love data, and are interested in pregnancy itself, read "Expecting Better.")

Could also be a good approach. I'm sure there's no one way to do it.

Ichiro is going to be short of +60 WAR, but he seems like a sure-bet HoFer... is that more of cultural significance or people giving him credit for Japan?

Dave Cameron

1:01

He'll get credit for Japan.

Will chats be later from Bend, or no change?

Dave Cameron

Plan is no change; I'm just going to get up earlier and go to bed earlier, which sounds pretty nice...
