"We've just received word that Joe Torre has gone to a better place. Let's cut to the field for a report."

"Torre is heading down to Sandals, Jamaica, for an all-inclusive stay as the exclusive Jamaican resort of MLB!"

It was dumb but complaining about cash grabs in sports kinda like getting upset a stork didnt deliver you to mom and dad.

Gotta disagree there. I'll accept the ways that don't take away from the action, and they're generally good about sticking to those. This was too much.

Let's get a poll on which was worse, that ad or the final season of Game of Thrones

Darling talking about Kwan's "introduction to the postseason" like the WC round never happened
Ben Schneider

It's getting hard to curb my Kwanthusiasm.

Postseason, this is Steven Kwan. Steven, this is Post

"Gerrit Cole, alone with his thoughts" was very nice I thought

Amed Rosario and swinging at pitches wayyyyy inside, name a more iconic duo

FWIW, Amed and GIDP are more iconic than Amed and swinging at inside pitchers

I sympathize with Guardians fans on that one
I felt like one of those floating people from Minority Report, I had a premonition of that coming true
Chad Young

the insistence on sticking with him in the 2 spot is frustrating.

We haven't talked much about the Dodgers game... Dodgers gonna Dodger

well that's crushing to not have JRam bat with runners on base

This is correct.

I'm a big Rosario fan, ever since his prospect days, but c'mon man he's not a 2 hitter

The thing about Clevinger...he was pretty lousy this year
Ben Clemens
10:00
Yeah, I had trouble ranking him as a free agent

Do the Mets want a do-over on the Lindor trade?
Ben Clemens
10:01
Curious to hear what Dan/David/Chad think
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:02
Meh
Chad Young
10:02
I think the Mets are plenty happy
Ben Clemens
10:02
I think they'd do it again, Lindor has been pretty integral and a good fit
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:02
Oh, I thought Clevinger
Ben Clemens
10:02
My bad, asked too many questions at once
Chad Young

We talked about this on the WC chat last week - it's a great example of a win-win deal, IMO. I think both teams are very happy

I think they always do it again, but they never get to know what happens ahead of time
that's the whole purpose of a trade!

WAR is great and all.... you think the Mets would have preferred to have Gimenez over Lindor this year?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:03
They were trading the possibility Gimenez would hit this well, not Gimenez hitting this well
Ben Clemens
10:04
Sure, Lindor is earning more, but they're getting their money's worth and they have the money
Bat

Rosario is a free swinger that belongs at the bottom of almost any lineup.
AvatarDavid Laurila

Possibly true, although he did finish the regular season 25 for his last 75. He swung a hot bat down the stretch.
Ben Clemens
10:04
Now, if they were the Rays, they would want it back (and also wouldn't have extended Lindor)
10:05
I think the good big-budget front offices are smart about using their money to take opportunities that not all teams have
