  1. Betts, Ohtani, Freeman went a combined 5-8 today with 2 HRs. I can work with a top of the order like that. And maybe the best hitting catcher (at least in the convo) behind them.

  3. I'm not passing sentence one way or the other right now. Just a lot of questions. Trevor Bauer got tried in the court of public opinion and was found guilty, despite the fact that he very well may have been more of the victim in his case, despite what people may think of him personally.
  4. Interesting article by Bill Plaschke in the Times. I sort of feel like he does. Something just feels off.
  5. Watched the first two episodes last night. I agree with @Guadaloopy. There was some serious sketchy shit going on, but it also felt like they were trying to manufacture controversy in some cases.
  6. While it is a sharp looking jersey, my personal opinion of grown men wearing jerseys to games is, well, not very high.
  7. I'm on 45mg, so I think my EOB said $15K. But my next batch will be scaled down to 15mg.
  8. Two years before free agency. 10 years $140m. Smart move. One of the best, if not the best, hitting catcher in baseball. Probably some dead money at the end of this deal, but it's only $14 mil per.
  9. Aztec Death Whistle https://www.google.com/search?q=aztec+death+whistle&source=lmns&tbm=vid&bih=1225&biw=2560&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS820US820&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiegc2o05KFAxUiMEQIHTf-C-4Q0pQJKAF6BAgBEAQ#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:a637a181,vid:SKwUBtZYdYs,st:0
  10. She is the biggest shitstain in America. Well, maybe 2nd biggest.
  11. Same. She is convinced it'll get warmer or colder if she cranks it hard over one way or the other. I could explain it 500 times and it won't compute for her.
  12. Ohtani isn't going to pitch at all this year.
  13. OK, I may need to make some adjustments. Recalculating...
  14. My guess is that he and his friends are more the exception than the rule when it comes to the impact of Covid and social media on teens. And I think those that may be a bit more introverted were likely even more severely impacted as the opportunity to develop friendships at a key time in their development was thwarted.
  15. Yes. I had high schoolers during Covid and I think it fucked them both up to a measurable degree. And their peers. Relationships are so different among teens today than they used to be. While they have more connectivity through countless devices and platforms, the true interpersonal relationships are elusive. My son, a good looking bright kid if I do say so myself, was (is) a sophomore in college before he got his first real girlfriend. And that is far more common than it used to be. Very few of his HS class were really dating. Hell, we were ALL dating it seemed back in my day. Some more serious than others, but the forced face-to-face communication we had sparked relationships that otherwise only exist through texts and snapchat. Hell, my kids barely realize their phones have an actual phone function.
