@Eldridgeisking With this bullpen?

@GiantHotTakes Just pretend they made the playoffs and got bounced in the 1st round. Then wait for next year. Play the vets light, especially Webb, and hope Roup, McDonald, and Whisenhunt emerge. If you keep Houser, use a freakin' opener next year when two lefties lead off.

@ImNotHuman123 OBP matters so much. Drawing walks wears down other team's pitchers and usually means you're looking for pitches to drive. It also means getting baserunners and not making outs. Most fans don't get how important it is not to make outs.

@ll_the_time @mike_petriello That quote was a dig at his former teammate Brandon Belt, who had 43 rbis with an .858 OPS in '23. But that was only 400 PAs, and Belt scored 53 runs (more if you count his pinch runners). Posey doesn't seem to get the value of not making outs.

@RichardHanania @Steve_Sailer Imagine if Mexicans got credit for Mexican restaurants and food products. No shade on Indians but pretty sure Americans spend more on salsa than chutney (I like both).

@SleeperSFGiants That's Walker Martin on Eugene Emeralds. 2nd round pick but no longer a highly regarded prospect.

Congratulations to friend and fellow traveller Claudia Sheinbaum. Winning the Presidency of Mexico is not just a confirmation of Andres Manuel's policies in favour of the poor but a giant leap for radical feminism and ecology. A rare glimmer of hope in a bleak era.
