how does Scooter keep Almora off the roster? Only way I can see is if they flex Nico to be the RH CF option, but that seems really unlikely compared to just letting Nico get more AAA playing time. Yeah I don’t see how Scooter knocks Almora off the roster unless they feel really good about Nico bein...

Pitchers don't suck at hitting because they don't work on it enough, they suck at it because hitting his hard and pitching gets better and better. Scrappy McJunkball could scratch out a hit or two against the scrubs that pitched in yesteryear, not because he put in the time and effort. Except that ...

So the plan seems to be "find guys that had a good season a couple years ago but sucked or were injured more recently and sign for a bare bones price and hope that they find their previous form" I've liked Scooter as a target all offseason. He was really good at the plate in each of his p...

They're slowly building towards their all-Marte lineup.

I'll say this, but I really hate saying it...If they've only got a couple million to spend, we're probably better off adding to the bullpen than upgrading from Almora to Pillar. But I really wish we had non-tendered Almora and invested his $1.8M elsewhere. I think there are a variety of AAAA guys a...

I'm obviously not a big fan of Bernie's, but Hillary really needs to go away.

This game is outstanding so far.

plot hole I'd pay good money to never ever hear this phrase again. The New Republic can be ignorant/dismissive of the FO for whatever reason you want; not spelling it out for everyone isn't a plot hole. A space government failing to see or stop a rising threat is hardly something inconsistent or il...

Quantity instead of quality doesn't necessarily translate into a solid bullpen. How do you know that it is "instead of"? Well we certainly have the "quantity" part covered, but the "quality" part has yet to be proven. Signing a bunch of castoffs from other teams doesn'...

Minor league/major league contract jokes aside, we are going to have a solid bullpen this year with the way we’ve gone about building it. It may take until Memorial Day or so to sort it out, but there’s a solid bullpen in all these options to be figured out. Quantity instead of quality doesn't nece...

Wonder how long Warren’s camp was holding on to the “Bernie said a woman couldn’t win” story?” Either way, well timed yeah the same Bernie who held 39 rallies to support Hillary in '16 Warren's campaign really does have very poor political instincts After complaining that he was unfairly treated by...

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I really hope not.

I seem to have stopped getting the full page ads on mobile. Please let me know if you still get any.

As currently constructed, I still think we're the best team in the division. But man am I booooored with this offseason. I'm confused about "still" being the best team? I mean its certainly debatable but our 2nd best reliever right now is Rowan Wick and our position player and rotation de...

I feel like a middle school teacher here.

Enough.

But man am I booooored with this offseason.

I think I got it so that the full page ads on mobile go away.

I wasn't annoyed by having to click the X to dismiss them. I was annoyed that it would sometimes lose which posts had been read and it would just dump me at the top of the page.

Again, not how message boards work dude. If you think you’re entitled to customize the audience of who reads what you post, you’re looking for something that is not a public message board. I'll have to do some research, but I'm pretty sure there are public message boards that allow that option. I u...

Yeah, that's a different bias entirely.

lol @ Yelich on that team. Recency bias is strong. Yeah, five whole seasons is WAY too small a sample size. We demand more than half a decade of kicking ass, I guess. It's a team of the decade. He did a lot less in the decade than McCutcheon. I'm not sure how this is even an argument. Now, if this ...

It's not crazy egregious. If you adjust for playing time, it might even be accurate. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=of&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2019&month=0&season1=2010&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&star...
