  1. Greed appears to be a fundamental behavioral characteristic of humanity, if not of individual humans.
  2. It was. And it was predictable. They have too many Guardians and no chiefs that’s fine if everyone is getting on base. The injuries have hurt a lot and there is plenty of time to turn it around, but they have to be a team that is selectively aggressive and not what they are now. They do not have enough slugging and hoping on Busch was not smart. They need to go after a slugger like Alonso or even Vald. Suzuki, Belli, and Happ to have better results and start hitting line drives. It’s not time to panic. It’s time to grind out ABs. horsefeathers filter changes I n d I a n s to Guardians
  3. Braves announcers absolutely gushing about how great Wrigley is. They are not wrong.
  4. Hendricks is likely going to be very useful one time through the order.
  5. Didn’t really matter with Gas Can Cuas pitching
  6. I don’t think Counsell has done many things I disagree with, but starting Madrigal tonight was one.
  7. I’m so damn sick of the umpires missing calls.
  8. TDIL that the 10 year mark also applied to managers, coaches, and trainers for getting fully vested in a pension program. I wonder if Dusty gets a double pension.
  9. With Chavez's rubber arm, you never know. He might pitch until he's 50 with the braves.
  10. Yes, it's a bit of a double edged sword with Little. His delivery funk helps him hide the ball and probably generate movement, but it comes at the price of a lack of repeatability and volatility on any given night. It's that ability to harness funk that makes a guy usable. Marmol didn't have a funky delivery per se, but his slider was about the best I've ever seen with late movement. It wasn't until he learned to throw strikes with his fastball that he became a good/great relief pitcher.
  11. Well I was pleasantly surprised when I woke this AM
  12. I'm pretty solid here Cade Horton Pete Crow-Armstrong Ben Brown Owen Caissie Moises Ballesteros only if he stays at C Matt Shaw Kevin Alcantara James Triantos Jefferson Rojas Luis Vazquez Alexander Canario The rest are interchangeable and there are probably 15 guys for 9 spots that are all about the same but different. Like one slider is high, one is low and one is mid for whatever skill set they have. A lot of volatility and a lot of relying on others because I haven't seen them play or know the numbers well.
  13. For a team that is struggling offensively, it is a curious choice.
  14. I would love to know the thought process of these moves.

  16. The off day will be good. They all look like they’re pressing a bit. They will be better when Nico and Dansby get back. But how much? Maybe some nice weather and the wind blowing out will help. The starters Pittsburgh had were no joke.
