  1. Trade deadline is now 7 weeks away. I honestly don't know who is doing the legwork on trades. I assume Avila still makes final call, and obviously his record on small moves has been OK, and on big moves has been tragic. People often overpay for BP arms, and boy they have a lot of them.
  2. Baddoo is batting .114 at Toledo, so he is just about ready to return
  3. misery loves company
  4. perfect sh** storm: Baddoo and Grossman turned into pumpkins; Candy and Miggy are underpowered for 3b and DH; and Candy has struggled; Schoop and Baez are super streaky and both are batting at the very lowest end of expectations; Meadows has ZERO HRs !; Haase's best year will turn out to be last year; Greene injured; Tork struggling and team riding that out; zero depth exposed by insane number of injuries; Clemens, Short, Hill, Cameron and Reyes all have very low ceilings; what in God's name do they see in Willi Castro that gets him so many tries?
  5. mayor of Newark said women make the best cops because they need to first be problem solvers
  6. I drive a VW ID4; it is like driving a space ship; incredible car; I only go DC East, Stafford South, Leesburg West and Gaithersburg North, so car fits all my needs. I am never going back to ICE.
  7. Dave fired Joe Girardi, who continually put a horrible defense team on the field that Dave assembled and failed to make a crappy bullpen Dave built not crappy.
  8. 4 out of 5 ain't bad
  9. Yes. Retired and released.
  10. recent 2nd round picks are feast or famine; Pacheco and DIngler are big unknowns 2021 Izaac Pacheco ? 2020 Dillon Dingler ? 2020 Daniel Cabrera awful 2019 Nick Quintana awful 2018 Parker Meadows not looking good 2016 none 2017 Rey Rivera awful 2015 Tyler Alexander 2014 Spencer Turnbull 2013 Kevin Ziomek awful 2012 Jake Thompson awful 2011 James McCann 2010 Drew Smyly
  11. a win makes them .500 at home which is not anything to brag about but still would be nice
  12. not to be flippant, but who cares? the possibility that he can be an org arm is incredibly low; the chance he gets to the majors is basically zero
  13. i am just looking at him as the dad of a rookie player and trying to leave the rest of it alone
  14. Tigers are 6-4 in their last 10, hottest team in the AL Central
  15. Law's top 20 was brutal. Included de la Rosa, Bergner and Alfonso but not Faedo.
  16. Carpenter finishes May with 1.393 OPS I assume that gets him Player of the Month Still smart to bet against him, but the dream is what the minors are all about
  17. Carpenter actually homered twice and singled May slash 438/483/937/1.420
  18. the families will almost certainly lose their civil suits
  19. NYT has a story about how Trump's own people - when he wanted to act after seeing polls showing huge support for gun control - did the same song and dance about "gee golly what's an assault rifle?" on him, until he just gave up On Second Amendment issues, Mr. Trump’s team often wore him down by burying him in the technical details of gun policy. Indeed, in the August 2019 conversation, when Mr. Trump suggested he wanted to find a way to ban assault weapons, Mr. Mulvaney asked how he defined them, according to the people in the room. Commonly, the term refers to a class of weapons including the AR-15 semiautomatic rifles regularly used in mass shootings. “Well, it’s the military weapons,” Mr. Trump responded. Legally, AR-15s are civilian versions of a military weapon that has been heavily regulated since the 1930s. “Mr. President,” Mr. Mulvaney shot back, “military assault weapons are already against the law.” The president abandoned the idea.
  20. heartbreaking does not even come close to what this is they were OUTSIDE the room
  21. BREAKING: The director of the Texas Department of Public Safety admitted Friday that it was the “wrong decision” for officers to wait outside a classroom door as a shooter killed children inside.
  22. they interviewed a guy who now does not exist?
