I forgot the Astros/Rockies series is in Mexico City. When MLB sends its teams, they're not sending their best. They're sending teams that have a lot of problems and are bringing their problems with them. They're bringing high ERA. They're bringing low OPS. They're chokers. And some, I assume, are good baseball players.

They probably sent the Rockies less because they're terrible and more because they're the only MLB team located anywhere near Mexico City's altitude.

I don't think I've ever seen the blue jays get more resoundingly whipped in person than yesterday, and I went to game 2 of the wildcard last year and a lot of 2022 Jose Berrios starts.

I do not, however, miss Trevor Bauer.

Captain Log posted:Errr, what was the logic with the teeth? for a good long while if you had any problems with your teeth or even if you didn't they'd just pull all yours out since you'd be wearing dentures eventually anyway and it'd save money and be more aesthetic in the long run (yes this was more commonly done to young women to spare their husbands the future expense but also quite a bit across the board)

Captain Log posted:Errr, what was the logic with the teeth? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_infection_theory There was an underlying belief that a lot of illnesses came from "oral sepsis" but lefty in particular had gotten hit in the mouth with a comebacker and had some dental work on his front teeth in march 1930. This lead the team to think that the reason he wasn't gaining weight was because of an infection in those teeth so they just pulled em all and replaced them with false ones.

When Christy Mathewson managed the Reds he tried to have all his players get tonsillectomies, so they would play better.

Glad we are out of that era of quackery and in recent years had scientific and evidence based practices to improve play, like phiten necklaces or teammates sharing the same thong

https://www.mlb.com/news/shota-imanaga-allows-one-run-in-career-high-6-1-3-innings-vs-red-soxquote:BOSTON -- Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer walked into his office on Thursday and found a book that another front-office member had left on his desk. It was a book on pitching that lefty Shota Imanaga published last year in Japan, offering mental and physical guidance for younger pitchers. I loving love Shota Imanaga.

I know we can go back and forth on pitcher injuries but pretty sure at least that a lot of the problems have been seeded by overuse at the high school and college levels, just completely perverse that all the incentives are geared towards tossing your pitchers till they break https://twitter.com/keithlaw/status/1784352191068750046?s=46&t=2RtKUZF-7mtwaGnhOLp93A

Apparently Jordan Wicks has been scratched from his start tomorrow with forearm tightness and may need an IL stint. We will get WezNASTY in his place.
