  1. The audacity of Nike to expect players to have to adjust to their crap. It's the other way around *******s, you make the uniforms that the athletes need to do their job. Not only was it bad for the players but who the f*** is going to pay a premium for the authentic jerseys when they're as crap as replicas.
  2. White Sox sweep the Rays. Yuck for Tampa. Injuries, especially to that incredible staff, have really f***ed them. And of course the Franco ********. I wonder if they will find a way to hold on until they get some reinforcements. Hard to count them out but damn they've had some s*** luck.
  3. Who cares? Don't know why anybody has a problem with that. It's sports, as long as they're not chanting anything inappropriate who gives a f***? It's not like the players care, if anything they enjoy it. I welcome any fan noise during the game. Better than them just sitting on their hands being indifferent.
  4. They're absolutely embarrassing, it's actually astonishing the step down in quality. How the f*** did these things get approved? I'm so glad I have older authentic jerseys to wear to games.
  5. The offer will still be something super overpriced compared to just making a juicy, delicious burger yourself.
  6. Maybe Vlad actually needs to put more weight back on. Somehow the fatness might be the source of his strength.
  7. Offense still garbage, but nice to get a W.
  8. It's not unconventional at all.
  9. I hate this move. Hopefully it works out.
  10. Was hoping for some combo of Yimi and Gausman to finish this thing.
  11. I'd start the 8th with Gausman.
  12. We have no idea if Mattingly is any good as a coach. Great players don't necessarily make for great coaches. But I'm beyond blaming coaches and expecting players to suddenly change. We all knew this wasn't going to be a great team coming into this year and we all knew that we were going to struggle offensively and here we are.
  13. Just you wait until Vlad gets hot again!
  14. Interesting the people who are convinced they are so right are the ones that need to lash out when they are so wrong.
  15. Nope, I didn't say it after 2020 and I didn't say it after 2021, I was pretty optimistic after both seasons actually, just felt we needed some important tweaks. I did feel like this front office wasted 2021 that's for sure, and I'm not wrong about that. Unfortunately some s*** has gone wrong since 2022 and it's been pretty clear where the path is going. The team is progressively getting worse. A big part of it, although not all of it, is a superstar that unfortunately is fraudulent. This core clearly has a low ceiling as a contender and a lousy floor. Time to restock and try again with different management; better management. We still have enough assets that we can rebuild fairly quickly if we wanted to.
  16. I said a couple of offseasons ago, 2023 was the last off season, 2022 was a couple. Pretty simple math, even for you. You keep trying so hard and failing so miserably. You're out of your depth.
  17. After the 2022 season.
  18. Are these memes and gifs some sort of ego defense mechanism? I seriously worry about you sometimes?
  19. I feel mostly the same, low expectations. I'm mainly displeased because it's supposed to be our competitive window but clearly we're not competitive with the best teams, I'd rather be rebuilding than to spin our wheels. I would have accepted starting to rebuild a couple of off-seasons ago because I could see where this was going. I think the Royals are a fascinating team, I don't think they're this good, but then again their division is not all that great so who knows what they can do? Dollar for dollar they absolutely are better.
  20. Exactly, okay. This conversation is going to happen eventually, I think the idea of seven inning games being permanent in the future isn't pie in the sky either, there was some conversation about this during the doubleheaders a couple of years ago. These aren't outlandish ideas by any stretch of the imagination. If baseball is truly interested in making the game as entertaining as possible, as competitive as possible and holding interest as long as they can, these are the types of conversations they have had and will continue to have. The more people actually talk about it the more people will come around to these ideas.
  21. Inclement weather and seven inning games are professional baseball. There's literally no evidence to suggest people would have a problem with this, none. Baseball has proven in recent years that it can make dramatic changes and people are fine with it as long as it makes sense. This makes sense, especially with the way pitchers get hurt these days. The idea of forcing teams to continue to throw guys on to the mound in virtually no win scenarios is archaic. Most people tune out anyway.
  22. What do you think the ratings are like in blowout games? You're trying to use extremist arguments that don't make any sense. The idea that television and media money would suddenly plummet is theoretical and speculative. Again, inclement weather has not plummeted media value, shortened world baseball classic games has not plummeted media value, seven inning double header games did not plummet media value. Where's the evidence that that actually would happen? It's in the same place as the evidence of fans revolting is, purely in the realm of theoretical and unproven speculation. All the evidence suggests everyone would be fine and life would go on.
  23. Ticket holders would not revolt, that's a purely theoretical argument and the world baseball classic proves that. Most fans leave the ballpark in blow out games, nobody wants to sit there through that. As long as it makes sense, fans completely understand, there would be no revolt. I think we would all gladly have saved our bullets in the bullpen in this game. Besides how did you like IKF pitching in the 9th inning for us? I know some people find it cute to watch that stuff, but if a guy who has actually been pretty good for us this year gets hurt doing that is it really worth it? What if anybody else from either team gets hurt in a blowout game? I just don't think it makes sense in the modern era to be doing this anymore.
