    Less sexy after the past month, though. They traded away A LOT. But thanks for the heads-up, I'll fix that.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    It is! He's the managing editor of the site.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    This is Davy Andrews in mid-season form already.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    lol no It's Los Angeles. It has no weather.

    Bickering is a problem but in and of itself, not a huge issue. The problem is when it tips over into grudges and name-calling, which I will try to address over time.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Getting in and out of Dodger stadium is awful. You just have to get through it.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, he sucks. 😁

    13 year career. An ERA 10% over the average pitcher and probably 13% over the average starting pitcher.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Aw, come on. A mediocre career is 5-6 years and 8 WAR. Not a 13+ year career with 30 WAR and a 110 ERA+. That has to be in the top 10% of pitchers all time.

    Twitter is a well-oiled machine these days. No way it could possibly make a mistake like labeling something incorrectly.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I was looking at this. It's tagged on X as sensitive content, which I suspect means it will not embed because it's not supposed to show for users in a logged-out state. That's my hypothesis, anyway.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't really believe that, even as an American. All of these guys are in the top 1%. Toronto is a great city, I would not hesitate for a moment to live there or in Canada generally. It's not as if most players keep their permanent home in their playing city anyway, they just live there for six months.

    I think the farm is a factor but only when coupled with Vlad and Bo. For example, if the Jays had an outstanding farm, that might be a counterweight to the Guerrero/Bichette uncertainty. It's both coupled together that is the problem.

    Anyway, as to your question. I lived in the LA area for nine-ish years but only went to Dodgers Stadium maybe 5-6 times (was much closer to Anaheim). You have absolutely no concerns wearing road gear in a SoCal stadium. LA in particular is 50% transplants anyway so there will be lots of Jays gear around the stadium.

    I asked a question on the jays subreddit and had the post taken down for... reasons. I f***ing hate reddit. Anyway, welcome to a place you will not be banned!
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    In that case, added a fantasy forum.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    They'd prefer not to spend but they have to, otherwise they could lose access to revenue sharing. At the end of the day, John Fisher isn't going to change his stripes. But also, good for Rooker. He bounced around for several years before almost falling out of the sport.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    How often are fantasy sports discussed here? One or two of our sites have a fantasy forum, the others do not. It really depends how popular such things are.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, sorry, had to hide that one and a couple of other threads dating back a decade. There were so many show-stopping slurs thrown around in there that I had to nuke the thread. If I ever get the time I'll manually clean it but don't hold your breath, probably best to start a new one.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The widget is hard-coded to that space but I may be open to moving it once we establish the site a bit more and get a good grip on how many forums there will be and where.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    It's actually from an entirely different section of the site. That's the user blog section, which you can access from the top navigation.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    It was!
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    It's one of the primary reasons I do that. I'm also a visual person and use icons whenever possible to quickly identify what I'm looking for.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    For sure, read this blog post.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    LOL. Excellent question. For the first year, traffic is mostly the same. It’s a matter of setting things up, creating consistency, and just grinding through that first year. From there, forum traffic grows modestly while front page traffic tends to take off. We’re not after the Facebook/Twitter crowd in particular, not even a little bit. I believe our sites are a place to escape those monstrosities, not become them. I will (and do) happily sacrifice pure numbers in favor of being the smartest place to hang out, not the biggest. We want the right kind of new users, not just new users. It’s why we moderate pretty heavily when it comes to insults, whether that be toward other users or team personnel. Tone matters a lot. There are plenty of places to be a mouth-breathing dipshit on the internet; I want to provide an alternative to that experience.
