The Carlos Marmol special -
Four straight noncompetitive balls when the only point of bringing in a lefty was to get the lefty out.
-
I love the idea behind never paying huge money for relievers, but you have to not suck at evaluating relievers for it to work
-
Look I know it's unrealistic to expect relievers to shut it down every time out but does it have to be an immediate stress test this often?
-
Arizona getting some decent contact but Boyd is coming up with several put away pitches too.
-
I don't know what the QT commercial is but I am so damn sick of Chuck GPT that I'll happily find out And thank goodness we won, I'm really not in the mood for White Hector Neris all year
-
I watched an inning of Rockies vs Rays today and in that time Kris Bryant struck out on 3 pitches directly after consecutive hits, and Chris Morel hilariously misplayed a double off the wall in left field
-
Suarez will be in a nursing home 50 years from now drinking his lunch through a straw and still taking the Cubs deep
-
The 2 and 3 starters both giving up lasers all over the yard doesn't inspire confidence
-
I think Shota is pitching Saturday.
-
I'm just glad there's real don't-have-to-be-up-before-dawn-to-watch-it baseball again. Let's win some games.

Dodgers (Sasaki) vs Cubs (Steele): 3/19/25, 5:10am
Andy replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Their TV deal happening to come up at the height of the cable bubble, and them signing a 20-year deal for next-level stupid money when in theory such a length for any media rights deal is insane and ridiculous, was a really impactful moment. -
Anyone Up? 3/18 Opening Day in Tokyo
Andy replied to Outshined_One's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
My local FOX inexplicably decided not to air this game, but given the performance I guess I should be thankful. -

I didn't care for him last year. I'll be putting the Pat and Ron track on MLB.TV whenever he's on, though in fairness I would've likely done that even if I thought he was fine.
-
YTTV and Paramount have already reached a deal, CBS isn't going anywhere. I was keeping an eye on that too because recording Jeopardy is an embarrassingly large part of why I still have the service.
-
That's a terrific quote, but I got a laugh out of him joking that he wasn't gonna help any of his teammates adjust to Tokyo during the series so they'd know how he felt last year.
-
My experience with these things is that it usually doesn't become public until really shortly before the deadline.
-
He did have a couple really nice swings. His second hit he really went down and got a low pitch and hit it hard.
-
I feel like Bregman is just the straw that broke the camel's back for some of these guys, which I can appreciate. Personally, I'm cool not paying Bregman $40M per year when he's already in offensive decline, but the general look of having a significantly lower payroll than the past 2 years is bad. The fact that it seems designed to minimize money on the books in anticipation of a lockout after the '26 season is another annoying factor. To cross sports, it reminds me of when Jerry Richardson basically threw away the Panthers' 2010 season prior to the summer 2011 NFL lockout because he didn't want any money on the books.
-
It's not a double edged sword for owners. Attaching the penalties means they can justify not offering those free agents as much money under the guise of "protecting the future." There's a reason they want it and players don't.

KC Johnson just reported the 2nd year of the deal is a team option, which makes it a little more understandable.
-
I mean it's pretty damn obvious why Lonzo would want to. It's less clear why the Bulls would unless they feel really really good about him being able to play real minutes at some point. It's great that he's good for 20ish minutes a game now, but the utility of that is limited.

If OSU's staff was going to be raided to this extent I wish it'd have happened before Notre Dame played them for the national title
-
And he would never have noticed the relative pittance of a handful of million dollars per year it would've taken to maintain that goodwill, or at least lessen the decline. But as we know, the truly wealthy don't really give a horsefeathers if us paeans like them, or else they wouldn't be as wealthy.
