    Rizzo sounds so defeated in those quotes. I'm sure he's thinking back to Marjory Stoneman Douglas and how nothing changed there either.

    I was going to mention something about them. The color guy was the only thing that made the pbp guy seem decent. They just quietly rambled about uninteresting nonsense the entire broadcast. I was stuck with the Tigers broadcast (they may have been the FS1 broadcast, too), and my God the most sinfully boring broadcast of all time. Monotone voices, no fun whatsoever. These guys know this is a game right?

    Someone (hopefully) half-jokingly called the trade the worst since Babe Ruth on The Athletic comments after one of the losses. I thought it was interesting that they invoked Ruth given that Eloy will basically have to hit like him to be valuable given how atrocious he is in the field. He makes Soler look like prime Heyward.

    Simply art at this point.

    Damn fine piece of work by Nico to accept that walk.

    Just remarkably pathetic work with RISP. You'd think just by dumb BABIP luck we'd be not terrible at it one year.

    "Clear and conclusive" continues to be absolute bull horsefeathers
  8. Andy
    Moncada and McCann were both terrible on that play to even make it possible for Rizzo to be safe.

    Cease getting an awful lot of calls that Yu isn't.

    There was probably nothing Ross could do to screw up the hot start, and there's definitely nothing he can do about how bad these guys suck right now
  11. Andy
    Len sort of making excuses for Eloy there but I'm not crazy to think a competent left fielder probably gets that, am I?
  12. Andy
    Sigh

    Sean Marshall's voice sounds a lot like Darrin Jackson's and it's throwing me off.

    Doolittle is a good dude which is why he's ridiculously overrated by this forum. He wasn't good last year, has been absolutely awful this year, and is about to be 34 so there's no particular reason to think he's going to get any better.

    A washed Lester and an endless parade of quad-A arms might have a touch to do with it
  16. Andy
    If it weren't so concerning it would amuse me that every time Lester is on a good stretch and stat guys point out he's due for regression, he immediately gets bombed for a while.
  17. Andy
    Seems like a pretty crappy draft, no? By all accounts it's not good, which is why I completely expect the Bulls to get a high pick tonight.
  18. Andy
    No one answered this, but Len was definitely saying "lie" last year. I remember because I had always assumed it was "lay". In my experience Len is pretty much always on it when it comes to pronunciation - to this day he's the only broadcaster I know of that knew our 2017 trade deadline pickup was pronounced AH-vil-uh - so I'm going with him on this.

    The only surprising part about this is that the slur he used wasn't a racist one.
  20. Andy
    Honestly it really wasn't even that surprising. His pitch to K Fowler was a thing of beauty.

    Ian Happ is legit an elite hitter this year.

    It's typical 'rich jackasses not remotely knowing what people who only make five figures care about' syndrome. (I'm assuming Sinclair people as the rich jackasses here since the Ricketts never seemed to care what Len and JD wore before, but who knows.) They watched a couple of Fox games and saw Joe Buck wearing a suit, so they figured if Len and JD wear suits everyone will think they see Marquee as a super important endeavor rather than an easy cash infusion.

    Open letter to Jayce Tingler (I'm writing off the Rangers because whiny bitching and moaning from the other end of the 'unwritten rule' violation apparently will never end): If you don't want your superstar player to hit a grand slam when you're already up big, take him out of the game and sub in some horsefeathering scrub that won't hit a grand slam. And kindly shut the horsefeathers up and never open your fat yap about this topic again. Thank you.

    As Stew Mandel put it, that's definitely the "eh, if we have to cancel this week, I'm sure we'll get over it" week.
  25. Andy
    Ended up being cash. Insert PTR joke here.
