  1. I'm taking the game thread today because I'm hosting my mother-in-law's birthday party today so if you believe in a deity, please pray for me. Also this is a really fun pitching matchup.
  2. The Twins are pretty exceptional at increasing pitcher velocity. I don't think they let go of Megill because of performance, I think they didn't like the guy. I vaguely remember him throwing a hissy over a demotion. Their mistake, obviously.
  3. Robert Murray of FanSided, appearing on the Baseball Insiders show, expressed skepticism that Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller will be traded before the deadline. Miller, who isn't even arbitration eligible until the 2026 season, cannot become a free agent until after the 2029 season. Murray also expressed the opinion that if Miller is made available, it will be difficult to offer more than the Baltimore Orioles, who have a stacked farm system and nowhere to put many of their farmhands in the coming years. Miller is still only 25 years old and has an incredible 17 strikeouts per nine innings as of this writing. View full rumor

  5. Today's game thread candidate is @Bertz. If no game thread is up by 10:30 or so, jump ball.
  6. Okay, @PackLandVA is up for today's game thread. If there's no thread posted by 10:30am or so, it's a jump ball.
  7. Does Justin Steele get back on track today against the first-place Brewers?
  8. I doubt it. The Cubs are still in a playoff spot right now and given the new playoff format, I doubt they will fade so aggressively that they fall out of contention in the next two months.
  9. The Cards are on a bit of a heater, it'd be nice to see Shota shut them down tonight.
  10. Admittedly, I haven't been using mobile much the past couple of weeks. Which ad space? Are you talking about the footer ad that's affixed to the bottom of the screen or the content ads between posts?
  11. This is pretty common in a deep system and it's why I push back on moving beyond 20 prospects on the list. At some point, ranking prospects in order becomes a fruitless endeavor. After ten, I generally prefer to put prospects in "similar buckets", like "prospects 12 through 17 are essentially the same while 18 through 23 are one tier below them".
  12. Thanks to all of you who voted, we had a great turnout this round. We'll be taking this information and applying it to the prospect list in the coming days, keep an eye out for it!

  13. I do split things off occasionally. And I kinda like how users use the game threads here because they go away after two days.
  14. Twitter embeds and uploads are working again so there should be no more 403 errors (until we re-enable this feature and troubleshoot it but now that we know the cause, we can enable/disable as needed). Any 504 errors you might see are because of the persistent DDOS attacks, still working on that.
  15. Sites are a mess this morning, cannot upload images or embed anything like tweets AND we're getting hammered with DDOS attacks. A perfect weekend, in other words. At least posting text comments still works fine.
  16. We're working through this error. Today was another DDOS attack, now we're trying to implement fixes and it appears the upload/embed functionality broke.
  17. I’m sure I’m not alone in the belief that this game is not much fun.
