If you hover over it, it says light brown skin. Not that that makes any more sense than a nicotine patch.

Yeah the clickbait stuff is completely out of control. I've only recently noticed that Stark and I think Crasnick put out a partial tweet with a link you have to click to read the rest of it that takes you to an ESPN page. It's so ridiculous.

what side of the plate do you think coghlan hits from He meant mashing RH pitchers.

I'm not convinced that was called from the dugout. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it was. I saw a tweet this morning that said he did it on his own because he wasn't feeling good about his swing.

I'm not sure I follow why selling a minority stake in the team gets rid of their debt structure obligations. Is it because they can pay off that debt straightaway or something along those lines? If they sell of 10%, you're looking at about $100 million, so that ostensibly gives them lots of wiggle room to avoid operating in the red on the baseball budget. And if they need to divide it up over several years to add flexibility, you can do it over 4 years and give $25 million per until you get clear of the debt service stuff.

The problem with that is that 1) Salazar uses that pitch a ton(13th of 78 qualifiers in 4 seam uses) 2) his second pitch is a changeup which also loses effectiveness as the fastball loses velocity and 3) his other pitches are used so little we can't be super confident they'd be effective alternatives. If Salazar had more MLB innings that highlighted the strength of those 3rd-5th pitches or we could be more certain he'll keep his stuff through 200+ IP that'd help, but we don't have either of those yet. For another small datapoint, September was his worst month performance wise, and he also failed to average 95 mph in 5 of his final 6 starts(he averaged 95+ in 14 of the other 24). This has been a lot of words on what was really a minor point in the overall comparison though, I want to make sure to describe it thoroughly because it's a bit in the weeds and interesting to me conceptually, but Salazar's specific repertoire isn't the linchpin of why I prefer Teheran over him. I'm grabbing this post because it's the last one in the sequence, but isn't it likely that a guy losing velocity on the 4 seamer is going to lose similar velocity on the change up? I mean, not exactly on a 1:1 scale, but reasonably close enough that you're still going to have a decent delta in there to continue having the deception you're looking for?

Well, they're not. There's so much hand wringing and pissing and moaning about him that I'm pretty sure more of them than not would be happy if they got rid of him.

I agree, Black would be fine. But to even consider Dusty after what he just went through with Williams? I just have no idea how that's even a thought you can have, especially with the long track record of pitcher destruction and a guy like Strasburg on the staff.

I'm now 100% sure I could do a better job than Rizzo.

The only times I get 8 uninterrupted is when vacationing w/o them. Kid or no, I only get 8 straight hours if I'm medicated in some way. I only need about 7 and I'm good.

How is this even possible?

Well, it would be fitting for a play like that to start a rally the way things have gone so far.

Should've already been standing on first. This ump is awful.

Granderson has been a solid player for like 10 years. Murphy's a quality player too. The Mets are a good team and I expect an extremely competitive series. murphy is hermaphroditic shame abortion that survived the garbage can How does he not get banned or even reprimanded for stupid crap like this?

Color me shocked he's out of gas after exceeding his previous high in innings by so much. Crap, this sucks.

Stop running that stupid play. It's gotten nothing all day.

The FG makes no sense. I mean, what does that even do for you? At least going for the first down gives you a chance at a TD now and guarantees the Bears are deep in their own territory. Crazy, especially after the fake punt call.

As hard as they're biting on the run action, play action seems like a really good idea here.

I think these guys are going for 2 too often in this situation. Too often it comes back to bite you if you don't take the 1 point. the single point does very little Yeah, in many cases it does. Lions kick a FG, bears get a TD and PAT, suddenly you're up 3 instead of 1 and can't get beat by a FG.

That's a helluva catch by Alshon. Fastball by Jay there too.

How can there OPI on a tipped ball when there can't be DPI on a tipped ball?
