listening to 97.1's pet idiot Riger on the way home last night...he actually theorized that Harris didn't consider ERod's no trade status becaue he doesn't have a GM working under him...he's just too busy to know the details. I'm a bit mystified by the whole "closer to home " narrative any way. Unless you actually live in the town you play for...how much more difficult is it to get to wherever ERod lives than LA? . You travel all of the time anyway...so a flight form Detroit is a few hours shorter than a flight from LA...will 4-5 hours make or break whatever emergency you're in?

Hmmmm...who could be the party that flaked...the guys with no history of erratic behavior or the guy who took a few months off in the middle of the season last year...because...because...who knows

Given the issues he had last season and the injury this season...adding the perception that he f'd around with the Tigers and Dodgers on this deal might damage his market value to the point opting in makes the most sense for him.

I find it easier to believe that Rodriguez changed his mind than Scott Harris is an idiot

Dagger...through...my...heart. Unless he's just holding them up for $$$...then they can maybe work something out

Blows my mind that the Chisox...a 90+ win team a year or so ago..are already in fire sale mode. Weren't they supposed tp dominate the Central for years?

Proud to be an Astro From "Ball Four"...another pertinent Ball Four reference..."Dooley Womack...THE Dooley Womack"

Bat Boy thinks we should have kept Candelario

GTFO...that's a NICE haul On edit... Stupid fake people ruining my elation

Candelario has had a nice season in the NL...you know who else had some great seasons in the NL? Javy Baez...

Exactly...the overall stuff might look really good, but because he's working on something...or he's just inconsistent because he's a 20 year old working in a league he's a bit young for...he might get tagged for a few

Morosi on 97.1 this AM...says it's likely the last year they are sellers

Look at any random NHL draft...past round 1...the number of picks that never eve make the NHL is pretty high

Exactly the kind of winnable game bad baseball teams lose

Hockey DB has a draft history that will let you track everyone tey drafted...signed or not. No help on UDFA's https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/teams/dr00005492.html

Clark triples to center for his 1st hit...

Anderson goes 2-4 with a walk and an RBI. Nice debut...

People worried about Tork bombing instead of Tork bombs should consider the career progression of Mickey Moniak

He will not be returning...he announced his retirement this AM

IIRC...That Yankees game was the 1st game I can recall where fans turned out in droves just to see Fidrych pitch...I remember being shocked at the size of the crowd when they panned the stadium at the top of the broadcast. He drew some massive crowds at home and on the road that year.

I thought Madrigal might be a decent pick for us instead of Mize (injury concerns). As it turned out...Madrigal never did develop any power and has an injury history of his own. I did think Matt McLain was a viable option at #3 in 2021 as he looked like a plug and play 2B...thayt idea looks better

BA and RBI...Like a pitcher's W/L record.... are the most salient statistics when judging player value

Two teams interested is better than one...drives up the return. I know he may opt out...but I'm inclined to roll the dice on keeping Rodriguez

I was the opposite...liked going go my glove side because it was an easier reach for me

Jobe has apparently added a cutter to his mix this season
