Dez caught it

Ladies, if he:

-looks great at first
-starts making dumb decisions
-ruins everything you could have ever wanted

He’s not your man. He’s Georgia sports.

@scottcoleman55 If you believe we sold our soul for the 2021 championship, I think the way that has most clearly manifested is the (lack of) health and sustainability of our young starting pitchers

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@The_Travy_Trav @jaystalk89 @jayhaykid Agree that low payroll teams can and should spend more without league intervention, but two things can be true at the same time

Low payroll teams spending more will absolutely make things more competitive

@armchairalex 2021 highlights are starting to run out of steam

All of the injuries the last 2+ years make the 2022/23 playoffs that much more painful

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@scottcoleman55 @HammerTerritory Surely this is what has preoccupied Alex

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@scottcoleman55 Going to have a sellout crowd at this one I’m sure

New bobble just dropped 👀

@ryan05foster Was hoping they would have during the second half of last season. Would have helped buy back some good will with the fanbase

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster It can literally be boiled down to Mark’s first four words in his tweet

They don’t get actual information, they just make educated guesses

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster Beginning of 2021 had me as convinced as you can possibly be in April that he was MVP bound

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster This should be where you consider firing your manager, but we won’t do that because of Snit’s circumstances

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster Sadly Snitker would never do something this creative

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster @hthompsonFB Obviously, Darnold played much better than Kirk last year. And I like Penix much more than JJ McCarthy. But the Falcons will probably need Penix to do more heavy lifting that the Vikings will need JJ to do, at least this year

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster @hthompsonFB Replace them with last season’s starters:

JJ being even 80% of Darnold would’ve put MIN at 10-12 wins

Penix would have to be an upgrade on what Kirk gave down the stretch for us to have gotten to 10 wins (with an easier schedule). Vikes are simply giving JJ more cushion

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster They definitely have — it’s just a strange position to punt on, especially when you aren’t paying anyone above market rate, and when the last pitcher you acquired making more than $3 million is Chris Sale in 2023.

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster This conversation would be transformed if Alex admitted that Liberty is cutting costs btw. I think Alex is trying to make the best recipe he can out of dwindling ingredients

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster Sure, but if your strategy is playing the margins, you need to be comfortable with below average production. And what’s the point of saving money from your C/1B/2B/3B/RF/CF team friendly deals if you are going to take a zero at a premium position? When you’re a WS contender?

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@hthompsonFB @ryan05foster Only if Kirk Cousins gets traded

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@ryan05foster @hthompsonFB Just thinking longterm but agreed

(also, any 2026 plans can be thrown off course considerably when you look at how much money we’ll have to spend)

[spencer strider’s music taste @ethan_pope]

@hthompsonFB @ryan05foster Ian is in mop up duty until Strider is back, then one of Holmes/AJ takes his spot

But, in a world where both AJ and Holmes look the part, I wonder if there is a conversation about who goes to the bullpen in 2026 between Lopez and Holmes. Especially if Lopez regresses this year
