  1. He's been slipping since his stroke about 10 years ago.
  2. The Tigers should have told AFL they can't have the Magno.
  3. Don't forget division mates play eachother 14 times a year going forward, down from 19.
  4. In 2019, restrictions on AFL rosters were lifted. It used to be MLB players weren't allowed, but now it's allowed, particularly pitchers you may want to get some innings to help build up.
  5. Walker is a guy I thought might check the SP box who isn't near any innings limits.
  6. It took a while for my antigens to show positive. I'd treat it like COVID if you have any symptoms at all. I know a few people who have had quick turnaround cases. This new strain seems to beat immune systems.
  7. My timeline... First noticed scratchy throat Sunday Aug 28. Tested negative with antigen that night and the next morning. Scheduled NAAT at Walgreens because of my exposure and that was positive the Monday of the 29th. I was pretty sick until Thursday Night. Body aches/sore throat/fatigue. I've had a lingering cough since. My daily antigens weren't negative until Friday the 9th. I've noticed some brain fog, mostly typos or having a hard time coming up with a word.
  8. Hunter is probably being shut down. You don't typically see starting pitchers who pitched a full season sent over. Perez has been on the IL for a month now, probably not being sent unless he is healthy. It is 7: four pitchers and three position players. The pitchers tend to be relievers but at least one who can start should be sent, that is likely somebody who missed some time.
  9. Kreidler has defensive chops; Lipcius was moved off of short pretty quickly. Be weary of a fluky BABIP fueling his recent hot streak.
  10. I've played a lot of kickball leagues. There's a lot of bunting in those leads, and there is a rule that when the ball is kicked, no fielders can be in front of the line between first and third base. As a result, the third baseman (charger) often gets a running start and has momentum behind the line as the ball is kicked. I'm curious if teams do something like that in lieu of shifts, getting players with a running start. It could get exhausting.
  11. McLeod has ties to Jarrod Porter. I don't know the extent of those ties, but it's amazing how those types can pick and choose their activism. Case in point, their constant lionization of the writer Howard Bryant.
  12. I'm sick and tired of activism from the formerly baseball analytics types. Also, I didn't realize McLeod was a POC. For somebody who is quick to jump down people's throats for logical fallacies, people like Law saying "Oh, they signed a white guy, it must be because they are white" is pretty fucking rich.
  13. It is worth pointing out the Cardinals have been on the losing end on some trades of late.
  14. I mean, the 1-1 pick had a pretty decent game.
  15. His slip up calling it a fairy tale ending was kinda funny.
  16. ... Which a lot of people will be throwing asterisks around regarding Bonds/McGwire/Sosa. I'll say there should be an asterisk, but not the one they think. Regardless for the reason for the run environment, it certainly is a different run environment such that Judge's may stand above the ones from 1998-2002, regardless of if he hits any specific numbers.
  17. I heard this on a podcast earlier, but don't remember the answer on the most recent. Babe Ruth in the early 20's was the all time leader though and the all time runner up.
  18. And is currently using a rogue golf league to sportswash their reputation, hosting two of its events this year on Trump courses?
  19. His son was on this club team, so they did an interview with him. Late 2016, so likely a bit dated, but gives you an idea of who Matt Slater is.
  20. Looks like it was a hand injury that had him out much of the time from late April-mid July. I can see how that would adversely affect a hitting line.
  21. Garcia consensus from everything I have gathered. Big J2 signing in 2017, did great in complex league in 2018. Promoted to full season ball rather aggressively the next year and it was clear he was overmatched. Repeated the level after the pandemic and found his footing, really got hot late last year, prompting the Phillies to add him to the 40 man sooner than they had hoped. It does look like he fell on his face this year, but I don't know the extent of his injury. Scouting consensus seems to be slick fielder who needs to hit, and his hitting has been pretty Jeckyl/Hyde. I don't mind this pickup, but don't think he is worth a 40 man spot over the offseason. It can't hurt to try to slip him through waivers after the season and give him next year to try to find something. He's only 21. It seems like a lottery ticket.
  22. Step 1. Get your pyramid scheme to teach at churches and bring people in. Step 2. Get that pyramid scheme to help people get out of debt. Step 3. Once out of debt, convince them to tithe 10% of their income to their church. Step 4. Get into more churches with the above scheme.
  23. I got an endorsement of Slater from somebody I know involved with the St. Louis chapter of SABR.
