I looked him up on b-r and was really confused until I saw he was traded to LA in the Glasnow deal

I guess he's the Buxton insurance for the year.

Just a reminder that the breakout games going on these couple days in spring are using the new ball/strike challenge system and I am here for it.

Honestly MLB should implement this, but only in games where the home plate umpire is graded below a certain accuracy metric. Good umps get to call games normally but sorry Angel, it's roboump time for you.

this rules

Yeah I can’t wrap my head around that photo. A classic red solo cup is 16 ounces. Either the cup is a lot larger than that or the woman’s hand is tiny.

Edit: I guess maybe you get 16oz of actual milkshake and then there’s a bunch of extra room for the accoutrements.

I just assumed it was a tiny old woman hand, yeah

You wild'n out if you think that's a worse name than the Houston Texans. Which is the dumbest loving name of any sports team in collective human history.

Yes but you see I only have a rooting interest in one of those teams so therefore that one is worse.

Anyway, lol

I know. I was pointing out that it's pretty much impossible for any team to lose money, regardless of their record. The Mets spent a shitload of money on players, their record dropped from 101-61 to 75-87, and they STILL made more money than the previous year. :psyduck:

Any team owner who cries poor is lying

A good and fair point.
