Thanks for that info. I hadn’t realized that about Taylor. He’ll be one to really root for going forward.

Looks as though $50,000 is the new $10,000. Might be a real NIL effect? Not to go off topic, but for the VAST majority of college athletes, this whole NIL thing is a farce. Some shady actors are trying to upend the entire existence of college athletics so the SEC and Big Ten can legally and more openly violate NCAA regulations. 99% of these kids have very little—if any—actual NIL value without the university brand attached to them. The scholarships, debt-free education (or mostly), room and board, cost of attendance payments, meal plans, coaching, platform, competition, fan bases, medical coverage, travel, lodging, insurance, etc. isn’t enough anymore, I guess. Slick southerners who own speed boat dealerships and suffer from mid-life crises are driving this whole goddamn disaster into the dust. A lot of D1 schools won’t be able to offer full rides or compete in this new setting, and that will mean thousands of scholarships—full or partial—will cease to exist. /rant

Just when it felt like we had something going, a heart punch. This group hasn’t felt right all season. They’re on what, their fifth shortstop and 10th starter on the depth chart? Of course it hasn’t felt right. We’ve seen legitimate worst-case scenario outcomes at middle infield and in the rotation. That they’re still in the race at this point speaks pretty well to the overall talent in the organization. Well, part of that comes from the organization investing in injury risks like Sale and Story, but you make a very good point. Fair enough.

Athletics should be forced to start their home games @ 5:45 local time. They don’t have fans who have to get to the park anyways. Why make the people who will actually watch the game wait until 9:40 Everything revolves around the East Coast ? Uhhhh… yeah! Doesn’t *everyone* feel that way?!?

I love the Nelly Taylor profile. In the post-shift era, give me as many up-the-middle athletes as possible. BASEBALL!

I got no problem with that lineup. Duran will sub in once the lefty leaves. Verdugo is prob getting a rest day, but it wouldn't be crazy to be platooning him either. Cora should be communicating a playing time plan to his players and sticking to it. You're just gonna drive the players nuts if you're constantly changing the plan based on the previous day's performance. Rest day before the break? How tired is the young man?

If you think that the machinery is going to be perfect I've got a bridge for you... Any teachers on here? Get ChatGPT papers? They can be hilarious. They make stuff up, throw together word salad, etc. I think we overestimate machines (at the moment). Yep, and my discipline is in English. It’s a hoot sometimes. Still, the tech is pretty scary.

Everyone wanted to see the players have "fun" and express themselves and look what you get. That was too much and i am on the record of not liking it. These games are taking me to a dark place, brothers. Henceforth, he shall be known as Chazz Jizzholm.

This team continues to find new ways to make me resent them more. Laying a massive egg for Bello after his effort? What could be more typical?

Had Ort been available to Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston, the American Civil War may have been even more interesting!

Another nightmarishly mediocre year across the board… but hey, at least we get to keep seeing those despicable Campbell’s Tomato Soup-inspired softball jerseys! A nod to our rich history as one of the game’s stalwart franchises!

How do you not pitch Pivetta last night instead of Ort Yep. Win the game in front of you and worry about tomorrow… tomorrow. Now, instead of pursuing a good shot at another big series win, we’re staring down the barrel of a semi-demoralizing split.

While I fully understand the difficulty of managing a major league bullpen, Cora could not have been serious about winning this game when he turned to Ort, straight faced, in that situation.

So tired of his defense costing us runs. Keep throwing him out there though… It’s exhausting.
