If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd still do my job.
But you can't deny that it would change my incentives about how to weigh my job
The Rays want to win.

But wanting to win and wanting to invest a lot of money in your team to win are two very different things

RIP for Padonia Station

Yeah, it changed names for a few years and now it's like offices. :-(

Just when I was hoping the Braves wouldn't have to spend much on the bullpen today.

Wait what did I miss? Is Dave Cameron not with the Padres anymore?
AvatarDan Szymborski

He left the team a few weeks ago

What do you think the Rays will do with Wander long-term?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Maybe get a small extension, but when he hits FA, he'll be wearing another team's uni

Is Jeff Sullivan still with the Rays?

Anyone else surprised Shildt got canned from STL?

I love the awkward first base tag

I think most people are. There certainly must be a good reason; whether we ever learn what it is, is anyone’s guess.
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:41
Yeah, there's more to the story for sure.
9:42
Now, it's understandable that Shildt was never really the front office's guy. But the team played a lot better under him that year than Matheny and it was the path of least resistance to keep him.
But to fire him so suddenly right NOW? Something very odd has to have happened.

It seems like STL preferred Marmol anyway and had to make up a reason

You don't get special approval from MLB to announce a managerial firing during the playoffs just because you like another guy better

AvatarAlex Sonty

Between 1995 and 1999. Cris Carter had 65 TDs on 475 catches.

How many folks we have in the chat this evening? How does that compare to other chats?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:48
We've got 173 right now. A bit lighter compared to earlier ones. But Boston/New York games get more chatterers
Last one I did we were between 200 and 300 most of the game
These are simultaneous ones, not total.

What would you put the over/under at for players who played in the major leagues this year who aren't watching more than half of tonight's game? 50%?
AvatarAlex Sonty

If I were an MLB player, I wouldn't watch.
