  1. I honestly think stolen bases is the next biggest market inefficiency. Teams flat-out do not try to steal nearly enough (Tigers = 64 SB attempts all season). Guys like Naylor and Goldschmidt have shown that you don't even have to be speedy to be a successful base stealer. There needs to be at least one team that tries to go full-blown '85 Cardinals and just run and run and run. With so many shitty teams who really aren't trying to win, there is no excuse for at least one of them not to try something crazy. The most obvious team that should be trying this strategy is the Rockies. If I were GM, I'd try like hell to trade for Chandler Simpson and Victor Scott, have an every day outfield of Scott, Simpson, and Doyle, let them chase down everything that's hit and tell each of them that I want 100 SB attempts next season.
  2. The John McGraw/Christy Mathewson Giants trained in Marlin for years. Basically, any place with hot mineral springs was a magnet for tourism in general and spring training specifically in the early 20th century.
  3. If I were trying to hide from that fat bitch, no place better than the veggie section...
  4. Thought we were going to see a reenactment of this:
  5. Zach Neto is pretty good. Man, I remember laughing when they picked him in the 2022 draft. Hell, Neto and Horton look like the best players out of that draft. Horton pitched another gem tonight.
  6. HP ump and 3B coach having a rough day:
  7. Wait, which is the before and which is the after?
  8. @Thetexashammer is extremely angry about this development.
