    I'd like to think this is all the result of some maniac who is just screaming about how big a fan of California he is. it was all Anthony Kiedis's idea

    *record scratch* yup that's me, you're probably wondering how i got into this situation.. [attachment=0]Capture.PNG[/attachment]

    Zach Davies expected ERA is over 7 and he gave up 47% hard hits yesterday, it's really hard to overstate how bad he is [attachment=0]Capture.PNG[/attachment]

    StL is so tiresome, i'm very glad to not be subjected to innumerable needless mound visits and curtain calls for a while
  5. sneakypower
    some tough luck here

    i mean this is usually a pretty winning strategy, given the Bucs terrible record of tinkering too much with pitchers

    i had not realized Odubel Herrera was back in the majors, yuck

    for players that qualify on fangraphs pre-29 and post-30 Jonathan Lucroy (lol) has the biggest dropoff in WAR per 650 PA Lucroy 7.6 to 1.7 Pujols 7.5 to 1.7 Griffey 6.7 to 1.3 Nomar 6 to 1 Banks 6.6 to 1.9 Andruw Jones 6 to 1.9 some other old-timers mixed in there: Frank Thomas (PIT), George Sisler other notable crash & burn in recent memory: Ryan Howard, Mauer, Wieters, Piazza, Hanley, Darryl Strawberry, Mark Kotsay, Prince Fielder, Matt Kemp, Bobby Abreu, Vlad Sr., Andre Dawson all had 3+ WAR difference in production level after turning 30 Kotsay's is funny because he wasn't even that great younger but then he averaged -1.2 WAR per full season in his 30s

    he needs to come out and admit he's really 51

    Counterpoint: Every dollar Kris Bryant takes as a member of the Chicago Cubs is a dollar out of Tom Rickett's pocket, and while I agree that it is a very stupid system and yes, his 2026 production will probably not match the amount he is getting paid that year, he deserves that money way more than pretty much anyone else in the world. it's not a very compelling counterpoint, given there's a very limited number of dollars PTR lets Jed take out of his pocket

    he'll be 30 next opening day and he turned down $200M love him but i have a hard time seeing a megadeal panning out very well factoring age, recurring injuries, lack of any long-term supporting cast (and self-imposed limited budget) prob best to let that dream die
  17. sneakypower
    ngl i'd have taken that trade (if i actually believed in their '20 Love evaluation)
  18. sneakypower
    should have an assist already too :-"
  19. sneakypower
    on appearances alone i would probably give Matt Duffy the highest odds to be on the 'educational process' list
  20. sneakypower
    ho ly horsefeathers

    head-scratcher, from my pov

    tbh i was kinda unbothered by it knowing we would've gotten summarily destroyed by the Zags Final Four would've been a great feat esp without Livers though
  24. sneakypower
    only in March Madness you can have Farva from Super Troopers knock out a title favorite
  25. sneakypower
    The horsefeathering internet has been no help. best theory i found is German ancestry and it used too be something like Aßmas which is great bc then it should be Assmass https://www.ancestry.com/search/categories/37/?name=_assmass
