  1. Springer had a 27% K rate in the minors and started with a 33% rate in his first season in the majors. He had his K rate down to 24% in season 2.
  2. For those who don’t want to trade Matthews, what is the comparable player who has eliminated a similar whiff problem? In the minors, he strikes out 30% of the time. Marcus Semien may be a comp as he struck out around 30% of the time in his first 2 partial seasons with the White Sox. He eventually worked that rate into the teens. Jeremy Pena started out with a 24% K rate and has reduced it annually to his 16% K rate this year.
  3. Yep - The rumor is that the Diamondbacks are asking for a significant return for renting Suarez. That’s why several teams have pivoted away from him.
  4. Espada has been pitching Abreu and Hader with a 4 run lead all year.
  5. Do this online - it’s easy.
  6. The solar panel is a game changer. I highly recommend getting the solar panels for any game camera and then forgetting about the batteries. I have some Cuddeback cameras with the solar panels and it eliminated the need to change batteries on a monthly basis.
  7. I can’t hear you - I have a World Series trophy in each ear.
  8. Powell is done in less than a year anyway. I agree with your comment on the outcome regardless if he’s fired or leaves when his term as chair ends. I think the bond markets are going to start pushing up rates on longer term treasuries even if the fed lowers the federal funds rate.
  9. I think California uses a commission to determine its districts. I’m not sure Newsom can follow through on this.
  10. In the last round, they specifically shored up incumbents because the Rs thought they reached the limits of their gerrymandering in Texas. To do this, they will have to make seats more competitive. If they believed there were 5 seats to be gained, they absolutely would have done that in 2020. TFG has demonstrated a significant disregard to any and all risks. That’s how you end up with Herschel Walker winning the R nomination in Georgia. He’s requesting that several of the R incumbents walk the plank and they are hoping it doesn’t break. I hope they all end up drowning in the ocean.
  11. I think Abbott was asking if Elon liked his penis implant.
  12. I was stuck listening to the Rangers radio broadcast on my way home today. They specifically mentioned that Brown’s fastball velocity was down 3/4 mph from the first inning. Hopefully, he just needs rest.
  13. I deserve the pointing and laughing.
  14. Espada’s quoted in Chandler’s article that they didn’t do any imaging of Jake’s calf upon the initial injury. The medical staff didn’t think it was necessary. These guys have to be the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet. After everything that’s happened including the failure to identify fractures in Yordan and Tucker, they still didn’t think Jake needed any imaging. Stop being cheap and get every test/xray/image taken. They will never learn.
  15. Not if you cheat like Trump
  16. He wasn’t 100% and the Astros medical staff doesn’t understand that their job is to protect the player from himself. Generally, players want to play. He shouldn’t have been cleared. Fire the entire medical and training staff tonight!
  17. Hey Dan - why don’t we look at the different rivers in Texas and see where sirens could save lives in addition to the Guadalupe? It only takes over 100 dead for Dan to do the absolute fucking minimum.
  18. Yep - I view the Kikuchi and the second Verlander trades as incomplete to this point. The 24 team probably doesn’t make the playoffs without Kikuchi but he didn’t even start a playoff game.
  19. I’ve been looking back at the Astros deadline deals and we gave up the controllable years for Teoscar, Hader, Wilyer and Siri for guys that didn’t really make a difference in the ultimate outcome. In some cases, they were actually detrimental (C. Gomez and the fucking rat). The Astros obviously won some deadline deals as well and incredibly didn’t give up anything of value for the first Verlander, Yordan, Grienke and Pressly trades. As they approach the trade deadline this year, I hope they don’t look at any of these deals for a JAG. If the guys a real difference maker, then go for it, but otherwise I would rather they keep what’s in the system. Also, I doubt we have enough value in our system to get any player who would play assuming some of the Astros on the IL come back.
  20. Jake can’t go to the DL yet. First he has to be misdiagnosed by the Astros medical staff and they can put him on the DL a few days later when he sees an actual medical doctor who doesn’t prescribe leeches.
  21. It’s TACO Monday! Bessent is indicating this week’s deadline will be moved to August 1 via the sternly worded letters to be sent by TFG.
  22. Whitcomb still can’t field a position.
  23. Also was Elaine’s friend on Seinfeld who he didn’t want to give anymore kisses hello.
