Michael Conforto! Maton was down a bit during the midseason but he came back and finished strong. Honestly I'd take all of the RPs back at the right price; unfortunately, paying Rafael Montero the stupidest contract I've ever seen is going to make that a lot harder. No way in hell Neris exercises that option, he could sign for real money next season.

Dusty told Bob he's retiring so everyone is treating it as "official" even though the presser isn't until tomorrow. I think Espada should get the job, I think he's earned it. I'm terrified it's gonna go to Brad Ausmus or Tony LaRussa or Billy Martin Oh also since he's older than 65, he's HoF eligible in 6 months. I imagine his speech is going to be in the top ten.

bawfuls posted:as much of a disaster as the CA grid is, it’s still more reliable than Texas Yeah actually CA is the one state that cannot make that claim. And really, power grids across the nation are in shambles; it's more of a demand exceeding supply issue than it is a grid management situation though (though every state has chronically underfunded and ignored its grid infrastructure). TX, NY, FL, and CA are all looking at big time supply shortfalls in the next decade given growth trends

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Two teams are doing it in the World Series tonight! Right, but no one will see that. rickiep00h posted:"Opener" here has a definition as broad as "Millennial" in that it really means "anyone who starts and goes less than seven." It's also comparable because it's only something old people get mad about. I don't think teams are building staffs around a bullpen day every four starts, I think it's just really hard to have 4-5 legit big league starters on one team. But I'm sure banning bullpen days will suddenly create a whole bunch of viable starters out of thin air.

I don't watch a lot of non-astros games but I've seen that maybe two or three times in the last, oh idk, forever.

It does suck that every SP now basically has guaranteed TJ at some point. Gerrit Cole is on schedule to tear his UCL in the next coupla seasons. Alcantara will probably need a whole arm replacement.

No I like Gerrit Cole and don't like to see pitcher injuries. But he's a hard throwing guy with a wipeout slider so don't tell me you don't worry that he's gonna need TJ at some point.

https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1719434060991221841 That's cool. The Rockets and the Astros banded together to buyout their ATT SW broadcaster and relaunch as "Space City Sports", I don't know if other cities/teams did that as well, but the article here is referring to teams who don't have a local broadcast home right now quote:Manfred’s quote about MLB broadcasting games for “up to 16 teams” may seem arbitrary, but the math works out. Two teams, the Diamondbacks and Padres, were dropped by the Diamond Sports Group and MLB aired their games in 2023. Another 12 teams (including the Minnesota Twins, whose carriage deal with Diamond ended after the 2023 season) had carriage deals with Diamond in 2023. Two more teams, the Pirates and Rockies, aired their games on AT&T SportsNet RSNs in 2023, which shut down after the season.

bawfuls posted:yeah it’s this, just teams en mass embracing the reality of the game kind of abruptly Yeah, I think a lot of it is you got old school guys like JV and Max who want to pitch 12 innings every outing and believe they can get anyone out in any inning, and you have to accommodate guys like that. Younger guys, I think, know what time it is, so to speak, with regards to how much they get to pitch. Obviously the manager for my team last year is famous for letting starters pitch themselves into early retirement, so I can only go off of what I saw, but even Dusty was going to get some of the younger guys in the fourth and fifth. Occassionally. I mean, I grew up out of market so I watched tons of Braves baseball on TBS in the 90s which gave me an affinity for CGSO pitchers and dominant starters and so I love power pitchers dominating for nine innings but I can see that it's bad for pitchers' careers on the whole and bad for team W/L totals zoux fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Oct 31, 2023 |

It is, but I couldn't exactly pirate streams of Astros games in 1994. I'm of the opinion that I'm willing to pay a premium in order to get a solid, good resolution broadcast and we were doing that through FUBO, until they hiked the price $30 a month (to $100!) and we were like nah. We tried the illegal streams thing of a bit but it was inconsistent. Luckily, my roommate's mom gets DirecTV, which had ATT Southwest, so we've been watching via her login. I don't know how it's going to work with the new Houston sports channel.
