  1. His brain genuinely does not reside on our planet.
  2. He'll agree to some sort of bullshit plea deal in the courtroom, then go into the hallway and immediately contradict whatever he just agreed to, and nothing will ever happen after that.
  3. Has Cal made a public appearance in the last 15 months without Hannah present? Whoever had the idea to make them a duo might have saved the franchise.
  4. Just noticed Jeremiah has Sweat at 114. Yeah, that’s gonna be one hell of an expensive DWI.
  5. Rankings aren't the same as a mock draft, but Jeremiah's mock draft is arguably the best in the business. His final version last year was the only one on the planet that had the Texans trading back up for Will Anderson, which seemed insane when he suggested it.
  6. The six words that always precede the dumbest shit you’ve ever heard.
  7. I've seen a few national writers already declaring this portal cycle to be low impact overall, citing the power of collectives. Seems a bit early to already draw final conclusions...
  8. There's too much focus on "how could he possibly fall asleep during something this important?!" and not enough on "maybe our highly curated image of workaholic Donald Trump is incorrect and he's just a normal, old fuck who falls asleep a lot."
  9. Will be fun to revisit all of the “he obviously wasn’t good enough to see the field” comments from yesterday.
  10. I don't want to be hyperbolic, but Clarence Thomas dying might be enough to make me a religious man.
  11. No idea if he's gonna be any good, but I can confidently say there aren't many 18 year olds built like this.
  12. Color me crazy, but signing and then releasing multiple major league relievers in the span of a week doesn't seem like a sign of a well-run organization.
  13. Wasn't meant to be rude, although certainly reads that way (my bad), and maybe I was overvaluing in my mind what "org top 10" meant - because this is obviously highly dependent on the org. My issues were mostly with the position players, as pitching return is always highly driven by what else is out there. Frankly I just don't think Meyers has any value outside this organization, and as much as I love Chas and Pena, I think their returns would shock (in a bad way) many who are still attached to their postseason heroics. And on Javier - I have no idea what to make of him. There was a time when I thought he was a future Cy Young candidate and now I don't know if he's actually any good at all. He's someone who could potentially fetch a ransom from the right team (if we eat some money) or he could be priced as the lottery ticket that he appears to be. All of this only my opinion, obviously. Reggie Jackson, apparently.
  14. I appreciate the thought behind this, but many of these (IMO) are overvalues rarely seen outside the confines of texags. Outside of absolute superstars, sure feels like the prospect return on baseball trades is almost always less than anticipated.
  15. Keep Altuve for the sentimental value, but you gotta listen on everyone else. We aren't gonna be good again in Yordan or Yainer's window.
  16. Either Trump gets blown out or the generally accepted idea of a national campaign infrastructure is completely and permanently overhauled.
  17. This coming less than 24 hours after Trump’s big “LEAVE IT UP TO THE STATES” press tour is some real monkey paw shit.
  18. Republicans are so spooked that Kari Lake has acknowledged she isn't Governor. (But for real, this statement should be a flashing red sign to anyone trying to downplay is coming in November.)
  19. Genuinely unsettling to see Trump correctly reading (at least when it comes to a national ban) a hot button political issue.
