    Yeah, being compared to a guy who was the second overall pick is probably bad. 🙄

    This is pretty spot on. https://danpatrick.com/2026/07/09/kevin-frazier-sounds-off-on-another-usmnt-letdown/

    Craig said it was a cramp in the postgame interview and that he's good to go.

    That level of specialization at 9 years old is just crazy to me. Do kids even play sports at school once they get to middle school anymore? That's where a lot of the development for kids my age came because the seasons were short and you could try just about everything.

    Why do we even have replay if they're going to blatantly ignore the fielder stepping on the baserunner's hand AND pushing him off the base?

    You don't recall the soft tossing righty Jake Woodford, formerly of the Cardinals and recently the Brewers? For shame. 😂
  7. mul21
    Ferguson and Woodford to finish this I guess? Maybe Rolison is available?

    He looked like ass before he kicked that guy's foot and got hurt. Piss on him.

    Cubs have the 5th best record in baseball and 4th best in the NL. It's crazy.

    He's running an insanely high BABIP right now so excitement should be tempered in spite of the good numbers.

    See also, "pixie dust". The horseshoe up their ass against the DBacks the other day was particularly annoying though.

    Totally agree and I was speaking more in general than toward any specific guy.

    As desperate as this team is for high octane arms, I wouldn't be terribly upset about picking a guy who you think can be a late inning circle of trust guy inside of 2 years from being drafted. I'm no draft expert, but it sounds like the bats expected to be around at 23 are questionable and the arms all have injury or pitchability questions. Grabbing a guy with a big arm who can move quickly and may be better suited to the pen because of previous injuries seems like a solid use of resources considering the dearth of relievers in the pipeline.

    You don't need to look any further than the 2006 Cardinals, who are by far the worst regular season team to ever win a WS, to see a team that got both healthy and hot at the right time to go all the way. We even have a burgeoning starter who can be plugged into the bullpen as a relief ace like Wainwright was that year in Wiggins.

    I think worrying about them winning is unnecessary. Even if we get there, France will beat us like 5-1.

    Bernstein was talking about it on his podcast last week at some point to address the previous professional relationship they'd had. Absolutely wild stuff all precipitated by a traffic accident.

    What you missed the previous inning, which happened less than 30 seconds after I flipped the game on, was Pavin Smith hitting an absolute rope at 107 mph that the 2B caught and proceeded to double off the runner on second to end the 8th inning. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I know we're past the window for this one, but I saw Jake Woodford asked for his release from the Brewers. They haven't been able to fix him so I normally wouldn't give it a second thought, but looking at his Savant page, they seem to have had him pretty much stop throwing his 4 seamer in favor of the sinker in spite of that pitch getting hammered and the 4 seamer showing better value, albeit in a very limited sample. I'm curious if there's anything there you see or if he's just toast.

    Shaw is a massive overpay for Gray, especially when you consider that he is essentially a rental because the option is mutual and there's a $10 million buyout attached if it's not picked up.
  20. mul21
    Excuse me, what? 😂 That seems unpossible.
  21. mul21
    Yeah, I got bad info. That's an absolutely ridiculous policy.
  22. mul21
    They can absolutely appeal. Their best bet is to do so on procedural grounds because the way the ref was alerted to review the play wasn't according to policy and there's no way he rules that way without stills and slo mo, which is also against policy for him to be shown.

    The people who grip about Jed making bad signings should have to print this out and eat it.
