@DStewart267 @RossAndRizzo @TheVolumeSports @ARizzo44 @D_Ross3 The stories you have to tell yourself seem exhausting.

@chad_mizelle "We formally put Vanity Fair and Condé Nast on notice"

This is not a thing. 🤡 This is theater. If you had any standing or evidence they were lying, you would file suit.

I "put you on notice" for being a pure and total shithead, Jared.

@AndThatsBB I certainly would never accuse the Rangers, Nationals or Royals of being "well run".

Sometimes, teams just get hot.

People who are pointing out that 2 of the ~15 "small market" clubs can hang with the big boys... simply aren't making any sort of meaningful statement.

@gallagwar @RyanGarciaMLB Next time you're at work go "do your own thing" for a few days. See how happy your boss is about that. See who he blames for you acting like that.

@DSzymborski A small handful of owners want a salary cap because it stop them from spending money. The rest want it because it allows them to compete more often without committing more resources.

Most players should want a salary floor, and they will accept the cap to get it.

@MikeyMoonachie @GaryHPhillips @BobbyMilone29 I would never stop you from posting what you want.

@UnderdogNBA @joevardon A good phishing test is one the user does not expect.

Everyone crying about this should stop clicking on fake emails.

@dcrean @Ian_OConnor The offense wouldn't be "reliant on home runs" if they were getting the *hits* they are actually expected to.

There are only 3 guys on the roster "expected" to hit more than 30 HR in a full season. How can you claim that their plan is to rely on home runs?

@MLBNow Rays Advantage: Home Ballpark
Brewers Advantage: Baseball

@dcrean @Ian_OConnor You can only see these as "mistakes" with hindsight.

The roster construction has been fine. When you pay someone who plays a certain way and they don't.... how was that your fault exactly?

Pretending they aren't coming into the season with a fully capable roster is ridiculous.

[SmoothToaster @SmoothToaster]

@dcrean @Ian_OConnor It's truly a wonder what some of you expect the front office to do beyond "buy a better crystal ball".

Holding the players accountable when the players didn't perform up to expectations was exactly correct.

[SmoothToaster @SmoothToaster]

@Nuss56 @Ian_OConnor On opening day you would never have traded the Yankees roster for the Brewers or the Rays roster.

[SmoothToaster @SmoothToaster]

@Ian_OConnor Derek Jeter's Yankees EARNED that philosophy. Anyone repeating it or thinking it still applies after winning 1 world series in 26 years is an idiot.

So much ink is wasted on a dynasty that had multiple cost-controlled future hall of fame caliber players on it.

@gallagwar @RyanGarciaMLB You certainly do have a (lack of) understanding of how employment works. I wonder why!

@daniel_dsj2110 The French sure seem to need a lot of people to tell them who they should think they are.

Yeah, its so weird that doesn't carry through in America. 🙄

[SmoothToaster @SmoothToaster]

@papa_jazz13 @GaryHPhillips I don't need to tell them something they already know.
