Well, we have a new manager and, most notably, a new pitching coach. Replacing the one we’d had since… 2018.

Yes, exactly this. I love Max Fried, but Fried-from-the-Braves went on the injured list EVERY SINGLE YEAR from 2018 - 2024. He went to the Yankees, they publicly talked about tweaking his pitches and approach, and then he stayed off the IL for the first time in his career and had a career high...

Sixth time you are claimed off waivers in an off-season, you get a commemorative totebag with Rob Manfred’s face on it.

Obliques and shoulders and elbows are bad enough, but now we are tearing fingers as well. We are cursed.

Holy shit, Fredi Gonzalez was a coach for Team USA??? They were doomed.

Forcing the US team to one-by-one get silver medals place on them by Manfred while he gives them each an “attaboy” is cruel and unusual punishment.

The WBC is sponsored by Ramp©, so he is probably at max ramp, which helps.

McLean’s stuff seems impossible.

Yes, a very crafty lefty.

This is such a bizarre comparison. The 2012 Phillies—the year they fell off—didn’t have a single member of their offensive core who wasn’t old as balls. Ruiz/Howard/Utley/Rollins/Victorino had an average age of 32.4. The conversation was explicitly “how long can this OLD ASS TEAM hang...

Worked great when we trusted the scouts about a young New England kid who reminded them of Tommy Glaviano.

That article is perfect fine and is saying something completely accurate, which we all agree with: The current version of Strider cannot pitch the same way he did when he threw 100 (i.e., throw strikes and assume they can’t hit it), and he will need to actually pitch with command of his full...

FG on Briggs McKenzie: He’s tall and moves well, but he’s very thin. Eric comp’d him to Triston McKenzie last year, and while I wouldn’t go that far, he has the look of someone likely to stay wiry. MLB on Briggs McKenzie: McKenzie was a Top 100 prospect as the 2025 Draft approached, one who...

Maybe we should be proactively putting braces on all our guys when they sign.

pro-Fart.

This is surprisingly stupid.

On board for my two irrational Aces. Elder and Wentz, then come the laments.

Charlie Morton very famously had a “I will be good now because I copied Roy Halladay’s mechanics” arc.

Hicklen Schunk Tromp sounds like someone trying to curse with a head injury.
