and I don't buy Knapp's year (though I love Marchan)

Wait is it too late to submit Cleveland Emotional Intimacy for official consideration?
Not John Smoltz
7:43
Gonna think a lot about "Big Snack Roberto Perez"

Nonsense--with no Realmuto, we can just plug in that good-looking Alfaro prospect at C; he'll pair great with Sixto Sanchez.

I've got a thunderstorm brewing here, so I may disappear randomly for between one minute and one week.

Who breaks their post-season drought first: Mariners or Phillies (which are now the two longest droughts in baseball)
Meg Rowley
7:44
Philly just because they're currently closer imo
Eric A Longenhagen
7:45
I'll say SEA. PHI seem rudderless.
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:45
Yeah, Seattle has as lot more to do
Meg Rowley
7:45
the rudderlessness is hard to dispute
(harder still to spell!)

Meg, to me, it almost feels like they didn't have a plan beyond Make That Big Signing and Big Trade. What do you think? Where did they get off the track?
Meg Rowley
7:47
Philly?
I think the bullpen was a likely weakness coming into this year, though uhhh, I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Who is the "rudder" in Seattle?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:47
Does it have to be a person? all that upper level talent isn't a direction?
Brian CashGod
7:47
I would hope the Mariners have a rudder...
5 Run Homer

How much did the Moniak pick really screw the Phillies? Getting a stud at 1st there would have helped a lot, even if the draft didn’t have one of those 1.1 guys
Brian CashGod

It's like a lv 50 pokemon vs a level 25, but the level 50 is confused, it's a coin flip imo
Pirates
7:48
They had a rudder until they ran into us.

Say what you will about Cleveland's seeming antagonism at trying to spend money on good players, but they certainly have pulled off some nice arbitrage with recent trades. Bauer would be nice about now, but Franimal is one of their few guys that can actually hit, and I'm not sure they miss Clevinger. Mildly infuriating, but it has to blow up in their face eventually, right?
Meg Rowley

Cleveland literally missed the postseason last year.
Not like cheaping out on the outfield has been used to lock Lindor up or anything.
The pitching development is incredibly impressive

rowdy tellez singles, cavan biggio doubles off Anderson..Bo Bichette at the plate
sac fly Bo, 3-1 Rays

If Cleveland wants to save money, just stop playing Nintendo sound effects during their games. That's gotta cost them some royalties, yeah?
Nick

Over/under on the number of "Bartman" references on the broadcast for tomorrow's CHC-MIA game?
Meg Rowley
7:52
Ugh, leave the poor man alone.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:53
who's Bartman?

What it comes down to it is that if you want teams to spend, you have to provide the incentives to them to spend. They're not going to do it because people plea or they're cajoled or they're nice.
Meg Rowley
7:53
(Not you, Nick - the broadcast. I'm sure you're inclined to be nice)
Brian CashGod
7:54
I would've thought the Mariners would use Nintendo sounds
Not John Smoltz
7:54
Is there any suspicion that the MLB will ever decide to crack down on pitchers' "illegal substance" use? Cole and Bieber are both rubbing the bills of their cap a whole lot, and tomorrow we'll watch Bauer do the same
Eric A Longenhagen

grichuk hit one hard at Adames, end of inning
Derek
7:54
If Paul Dolan & family want to make money then sell the team! And convince Cousin Jimmy to sell the Knicks while they're at it!
Nate
7:55
Rays positioning has been perfect this game

What are your expectations for a Javy Baez bounce-back? His approach has to change, right?
