Kelenic sucks. Verdugo sucks a little bit less. I'd rather have a reliever.

Put down $50 to win $2550 on Riley winning MVP. I feel like he has a huge bounce back year.

Has anyone else noticed the rise in what have to be AI authored sports articles? I'm talking about articles like this: https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/braves-predicted-cut-ties-projected-91-million-outfielder-this-year-2046882 I mean this has to be AI generated right? There isn't a...

People actually have done that. I am not going to say that it is common (of course murder isn't common anyways), but there are plenty of documented cases of psychotic episodes where the murderer shows no emotion and acts as if what happened was a regular Tuesday. You certainly can't afford to...

He can still be pretty filthy when he isn't walking the world. Hopefully he can reign it in for a season.

I confused as to why you think they have a right to due process.

We also re-assigned Jake Diekman. Even though, he wasn't having a great spring, our LHP BP options on the 40 man are currently Bummer, Lee, and Dodd. I can't imagine AA will stick with that group. I'm not saying it's gonna be a big name, but I think we bring in at least 1 LHP before opening day.

Agreed. That's why I think there is something else in the works. Would be awesome to a Robertson signing. I would bet it's more likely a smaller trade though.

Due process applies to American citizens, who have rights protected by the constitution. If you are not an American citizen, the US Government holds to the right to deport you at any time for whatever reason they see fit.

They make this decision 10 days before opening day? Seems like a lot could happen between now and then. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ian shipped out. He's gotta be our 8th SP option at this point, and that's before considering prospects currently not on the 40. When everyone is healthy, I...

May be they didn't like what they saw from him in ST.

I can only assume we're bringing someone else in, either via trade or signing a FA like Robertson. Perdomo wasn't making much money, so it saves no money. Seems like we are freeing up a roster spot. And before anyone says McCann, if we wanted to add McCann to the 40 man, all we would need to do...

So frigging pumped to see Strider again. I wouldn't hate it if he made his first start on April 18th when I go for my birthday.

Exactly. Straight or not, a 99 mph FB is always gonna be a plus pitch if it's located consistently.

Command is more important than movement on a fastball. If he's locating well and doing a good job of mixing his other pitches, it doesn't really matter if it his FB is straight. So far this spring, AJ's command has been pretty terrific.

If you basing that purely off defensive metrics, you are being a bit unfair. And you totally disregard both DRS and UZR which show Allen as a good defensive SS. From the eye test, Allen looks the part of a good defender.

Not for a second baseman.

He's still an above average hitter vs lefties over his career. It's really not close to as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. He's Eduardo Escobar from the left side and Mookie Betts from the right side.

Was the ball not juiced when he was hitting under .200 with an OPS below .600 as a lefty in April of May of that season?

You stated the same thing in 2023. If you knew half the **** you think you do, you'd be in an MLB front office.
