Oh just the Braves. I'm considering SD and NYM right now because I like what I've seen lately from the owners. But I've always liked LA too. :shrug:

Edit: that's assuming the Mets ownership was really in the dark about Porter and Calloway. Hmm yeah maybe gently caress the Mets

This is from a bit back, but If you like exciting young players who hit the bejesus out of the ball, could I interest you in the Dunedin Blue Jays?

Just have the extra base be in foul territory. It makes no difference to the rest of the game that way and you don't have dumb instances of runners getting called out of the base path.

I just assumed that was the plan because that's how it was in every youth league that had double bags, does he want them both in Fair territory?

I'll put them in my list of possibles. I am looking for an organization with a good culture. If you call out/ don't hire creeps, don't fill your stadium to max capacity in plague times, and pay your players, you qualify.

When Osuna was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, the Blue Jays immediately said that he would never play for them again, and traded him for Ken Giles.

They're currently allowing a maximum of 1,000 fans at their home games.

They did some service time manipulation with the current young guys, but the team does seem willing to pay big money for players.

They're owned by one of Canada's really lovely telecom companies, so it's probably a factor that they don't want to have bad publicity for the parent company. The team itself seems to have a good culture.

They never said Osuna would never play for them again and floated through the media, up until he was traded months later, the idea that he would come back to the team to see what public support was. He was traded because fans were almost in open revolt at the idea of him returning.

The front office also hired and most likely knew about Mickey Callaway on Cleveland

Yeah def, I've remained a big Polanco believer through thick and thin. Thought he was taking a lot of good at bats, hitting hard balls that found gloves, getting burned on some calls early on and eventually luck would turn. Really gratifying to see him getting some results

Half the lineup is out for covid, we lost George, and the bullpen sucks again.

All things considered we’re not that bad and I’m fine with it. I was honestly expecting a lot worse this year.

like i said in april 2019, we know there's no hope of sustained success so we enjoy poo poo while we can. does some part of me hope for some cinderella run to the playoffs? sure. the rest of me knows the team will end up around .500 at best. do not feel bad for us, we know the nature and depth of our sickness.

So why is Yankees twitter declaring the season over after one lopsided loss to the Rays when they're .500 and its basically 3 weeks into the season?

Eventually we will have enough advanced stats and modeling that we can skip the arduous process of playing baseball games and skip straight to post-season awards and modeling for the next season based on last season's results. Fans who demand the games be played just get in the way of this eventuality.

Apparently the game was temporarily suspended due to fans throwing stuff on the field?

Did Aaron Judge literally take a poo poo on home plate or something?
