If the guy in charge of hiring and firing is a Marlins fan, no way he loses his job.


Great trailer. Baseball really needs to emphasize the colourful personalities in the sport.

Another expose on the Rockies organizational dysfunction today, but this bit really jumped out:
No wonder their whole analytics department quit.

Yeah the Rockies are the laughingstock of the league right now, particularly internally where their GM and way-too-involved owner seem to be viewed by rival execs as complete dullards. Foolish Baseball did a pretty good video on it recently that's more focused on how dogshit their free agent signings have been, and how Arenado's contract appeared to be structured on the hope he would leave and ownership could go "well hey we tried" to the fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRQLsqlQgb0

Yeah there's a whole graphic in the Athletic piece illustrating how Bridich has spent $303M on major league free agents who collectively produced -3.4 fWAR as Rockies

I wish John Henry had to see this daily. I'm glad Mookie won a WS for the Dodgers. I may some day be a Red Sox fan again, but I'm never forgiving Henry and company.

Now if someone from St. Louis bought a billboard in Denver like this to gloat about Arenado, that would come off a bit different to me. But Boston sports fans have accumulated an embarrassment of riches this century.

PS5 is as good as it huge. I cannot recommend it enough goons. Even PS4 games load in like half a second... It feels more next gen than the PS3 or PS4 did when they were new.

Mookie would've been a free agent this year anyway. Maybe Sox fans should buy a billboard in LA thanking them for Verdugo and the prospects.

I only have 17 (which is great) and I fell way down a gameplay rabbithole with Supermegabaseball3 but I kinda want to dig back into more of a sim-adjacent game and I was super jacked for the stadium builder.

I'm not going to buy a loving PS5 so I may as well get the less expensive game. 20 is still pretty good right?

20 owns for sure. They haven't really been able to do much with franchise in the past... forever, but the career mode is fun and doesn't have the cheesey story mode stuff really.

This is pretty tangential to baseball, but as a guy with a film degree and a Marlins tattoo, it hit me right in the loving chest. I won't lie to you, it's pretty long and mostly about film, but also it explains why baseball owns just so drat much :3:

I know this guy says several times that he doesn't care about sports, but the way that he talks about baseball in movies makes me think he should give baseball fandom a try.

yes exactly, we all know what that non-quote means so this counts as restraint for our resident dipshit

I'm picturing Stan Kasten standing in front of a classroom with Bauer the only student, spending hours and hours trying to explain how to shut the gently caress up once in awhile. Smash cut to Stan reading this quote in the paper this morning, and a single tear runs down his cheek; success.
