  1. We'll try to fix him maybe we can enlist a scientist like in the pitch lab i mean
  2. He's coming home again
  3. yyyyeeesssssssssss
  4. different types of tackles/defenses but whatever
  5. I didn't think I'd disagree with this, but while nobody is tuning in for broadcasters, bad ones can make me more likely to tune out on a national game. i liked gruden's meathead/meatball excited schtick. it was entertaining, if nothing else. watched random MNF more often when he was on than when that awful crew tessitore, witten, booger crew was on. while i hate to admit it, i liked the miller/morgan booth...the sound of it moreso than the content. maybe that's nostalgia, but i know that i enjoyed that broadcast more than i do this awful arod booth, and as such i was more likely to watch non-cubs sunday night baseball games back then. same goes for SNF with madden and michaels over other national booths (including the current NBC SNF one). if it's my team, i don't care if dick stockton is on with arod and mccarver. i'm watching. but with random matchups, i guess it does make a difference for me. Sounds like you liked watching all sports more when you were young and now that you’re turning human I mean older you’ve got other interests that keep you from wasting countless hours watching games that have no interest for you. i figured that would be the response, but nah. and the gruden switch wasn't that long ago. i still spend way too much time watching sports. if you put like buck and, say, romo on MNF, i'm probably watching at least a couple more MNF games intently. definitely as compared to that awful 2018 booth i mentioned. that one was bad enough to get me to only tune in for bears games. it's not that the good guys being good brings me in. the weirdos like arod push me away. ironically, espn still strangely thinks arod has value for some reason. arod actively has made me avoid watching SNB. i also think someone like manning would probably increase viewership at least somewhat, given the response to the manningcast.
  6. I don’t know why networks pay these guys. Nobody is tuning in for broadcasters.

  7. i feel like i'm taking crazy pills $4m is cheap for even a backup glove first infielder. we gave henry blanco barely than this to be a backup like 15+ years ago for crying out loud. this isn't someone you'd even think was signed to start if you didn't know he's never been a backup (undeservedly as his last two seasons show)
  8. i highly doubt they've gone from negotiating with the top of market guy who wants hundreds of millions of dollars to, "welp, let's just sign this guy for $4M and watch him struggle to OPS .500 and plug him in everyday" with no in between. i don't think it's even slightly going out on a limb to say he's not going to be the starter whether we sign correa or not.
  9. he's making $4m a year, FFS. there's no reason to assume he's not a backup.
  10. please stop giving jason heyward entitlement at bats dude should be benched or released... i'm so horsefeathering done.
  11. Translation: Carlos Correa is talking with the Chicago Cubs at this moment, just like I told you December 2nd. The Yankees and Cubs are the favorites for the stellar Puerto Rican shortstop.
  12. yeah i've been wondering the same thing and if you don't get it i feel like less of an idiot
  13. Not sourced stuff here but a lot of this is why I've been (cautiously blah blah blah) thinking he's ours since that last night before the lockout.
  14. this is so lame the one time i'm in favor of (slightly) increasing variance. mainly because best of 3 does almost nothing to reduce it and takes away a lot of the fun.
  15. this doesn't really save money though
  16. ok i'm out on poles this is trash. you don't sell low on mack for ok picks. you try to sell high on quinn.
  17. this ruled though If by ruled you mean sucked the joy out of extra innings games, then yes it did! sucked the joy out? what the horsefeathers? it made them way better.
  18. i loved the runner at 2nd and would vote for permanent implementation
