Also, from the comments: quote:Setting my alarm for 530AM to get the full 4.5 hours of Kirk and Callahan on WEEI with the HOTTEST TAKES. It’s going to be great. You’ll get Sully from Carver with his “I have a black friend” take. You’ll get Ben from Manchester who once sat in the out field in Fenway in the 1980s and NEVER HEARD A RACIST COMMENT, so THEY NEVER HAPPEN. You’ll get Jimmy from Dorchestah: “Listen, Kirk. My people wah slaves too ya know. We wah forced to come to Americah and wahk hahdah than any othah immigrants. My pa’s pa had ta wait last befah he could drink from the bubblah when he was scrubbin’ bahahcahls offah ships laid up in Fall Rivah.” Then Curt Schilling will call in and the full stupid will kick in.

Waaaaaaaay late to balk chat (thanks school and other poo poo), but there was a balk call on a Brewer pitcher earlier this year that... you know, actually was a balk and not some "oh he twitched the wrong way". He started throwing to first, decided not to mid throw, realized "OH gently caress" and threw it, but by that point he was already called for it. It was crazy to see such a blatant one that wasn't controversial at all.

Julio Cruz posted:Hmm yes staying out drinking so late that you're unable to turn up to your job sure is "showing a personality" and "having fun". It was a more general statement than anything, but yeah, this is a bit of a different situation given he was scheduled to pitch the next game (and other things). Also general statement: I'm just bitter with the whole unwritten rules of baseball bullshit.

cis autodrag posted:i remember when the brewers went on a crazy like 50-10 tear to start the season and then turned to poo poo. this year they're just hovering around .500 and i honestly feel way better about that. it feels like genuine development and not a flash in the pan. Same. General consensus from what I've seen talking to people outside of here (small sample, yadda yadda): the expectation is to do better than last year, with the high end being a 500 season by the end. Playoffs would be nice, but if we don't make it it's fine. At least the front office has been completely upfront about it being a rebuild. I greatly appreciate that rather than be stupidly optimistic in hopes of getting more ticket sales. Kevlar v2.0 posted:So she drove in to other car's backbackbackbackbackback gone.

Popete posted:Stealing off a lefty is straight up gambling because they are allowed to balk with impunity. As a lefty, I hate you too (I throw righty though, go figure). cis autodrag posted:Mark Attanasio strikes me as the kind of guy who really values loyalty and service and really struggles to cut people loose. Think about the interviews he gives in the middle of sub-500 seasons where he's still so sure if things break right we can make the playoffs. I think replacing Doug as GM is genuinely the hardest thing he's ever had to do and he just couldn't bring himself to totally fire someone who's been loyal to the org and brought us to the playoffs multiple times. I imagine it's mostly an honorary position. He does. This is a good and bad thing. Good because well, look at Jed York and other teams that go through a GM or coach a year. Bad because sometimes, you should cut loose a guy who isn't cutting it anymore a bit sooner. Though I'd personally have someone give people a legit chance instead of one and done. If you're trying to rebuild, constantly shaking up coaches and the front office does no favors.

cis autodrag posted:I mostly agree, but Attanasio's fervent desire to win all the time but on a budget left the team in a really bad position. I think hiring a new GM was a good move on the mere fact that he's not as tight with the new guy and the new guy will have his decisions affected by Mark less, regardless of how good of an actual GM that new guy is. He seems to be on the right track so far, but only time will ultimately tell.

bewbies posted:Derek Jeter was a really good baseball player for a long time, I'll see myself out.  real talk: Jeter was an inverse Tony Romo, sort of. Above average most of the time, came up big when it mattered a lot. He's a hall of famer for sure, but the whole circle-jerk over him is bad. If he had that sort of career anywhere BUT NY, Chicago or Boston (maybe LA), ESPN may request the rights to that specific game, but by no means would they do the hours long circle jerk about him. Who would have thought trying to shove something in someone's faces as "THE BEST EVAR" would backfire! (*cough* cubs fans *cough*) iospace fucked around with this message at 15:21 on May 15, 2017 |

Actually, question. Did ESPN do this sort of poo poo when Griffey's number was retired? He's probably the only person with any sort of clout that Jeter had in the public eye.

IcePhoenix posted:The best part is it's not even the first silly balk the Twins have scored a run off of this year So wait, you're telling me there were at least three balk calls this year where it wasn't the ump going "he twitched the wrong way" but something blatantly obvious? I mean, you could argue letter vs spirit here for those two (given the rule is to prevent unfair play by the pitcher), but given the game is called by the letter of the rule, drat.

shadok posted:Holy poo poo. I just noticed this today: the reason Dioner Navarro hasn't been around anywhere this year is because his wife, who was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm last season, had a massive stroke in December that nearly killed her. As it was she was in a coma for three months and has only recently returned home. Poor guy. He says he's not ready to retire, though, so hopefully he'll be back in MLB at some point. Hopefully she recovers fully.
