@MooneyOwnsYou They did the shuffle you do when someone’s walking toward you in the hallway and you both move the same direction except they did it at full speed
@Chris_Pinson_@sullyengels The base isn’t on the right side of the line though. I understand the running lane is there but the running lane isn’t over the bag. He’d have to get to the bag eventually. Running lane doesn’t remove a “collision course” whereas double bag does mostly
The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.
@JimmyFingers19@SanPedroAce@hjmike3@BNightengale Roberts is a vibes manager. I don’t know that anyone’s saying he’s the genius behind the success. Before the Dodgers won he was panned by a lot of the fanbase for making puzzling in-game decisions. His job is to keep the wheels on for 162+ not necessarily maximize every choice
The owners have to be loving how much they have the average baseball fan believing that they're the good guys.
Players are the labor. End of story. Support labor always. Just because you're too dumb to understand economies of scale doesn't change that.
@bawfuls@BrewerSooner You can utilize that equity to cover any losses (assuming they’re real, not paper). I would bet the Dodgers already do that for any cash injections they need. It’s like borrowing against your house to redo the kitchen. The value comes back to you
@BrewerSooner The Padres who famously have lit their farm system on fire via trade multiple times, paid big money to Eric Hosmer, and are one of the smallest market teams in the league (24th as defined by MLB). You’re showing an absolute worst case scenario that made $3.1B profit upon sale
@Planet_Sardinia “Oh yeah? Well my entire region is a 2 hour drive in your country!” Damn got us. There are minimum 4 different cultures and 3 accents in this map area
