Rosenthal is such a little worm

[MLB @MLB]

THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS ARE 2026 WORLD SERIES #CHAMPIONS!

(MLB x @BudweiserUSA)

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

Oh hell no.

[Houston Texans @HoustonTexans]

We have claimed Emari Demercado off waivers and made other roster moves.

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

It’s not Nick Caserio’s fault that literally every receiver he’s drafted highly has had varying degrees of injury problems, but it does serve to emphasize the total lack of value he has found on the offensive side of the ball from top to bottom.

[Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL]

#Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel turf toe injury, regarded as season-ending issue, per league source, is a blow to offense and special teams. Most explosive and fastest receiver on roster with 4.39 speed in 40-yard dash

@OhMyItsAlly Rosenthal:

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

Not just Demeco, but CJ publicly calling for more explosive plays in pressers, and showing visible frustration on the field over playcalling?

@SethCPayne is spot on here. This may finally be the end of the rope for Caley.

[Mr.Optimistic @MrOptimisticHou]

A fired up @SethCPayne with @SeanTPendergast discussing Nick Caley and the usage of the jumbo package this morning.

HIRE THE DAMN GM FIRST WHAT ARE WE DOING

(Love Oz, just saying)

[Francys Romero @FrancysRomero]

The Houston Astros interviewed Oz Ocampo for an executive position within their front office, per sources.

Ocampo was previously an assistant GM with the Miami Marlins and is currently a Senior Advisor with the Colorado Rockies.

Brewers bullpen chose a hell of a time to prove mortal.

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

@AngryMariners Also… you’re still employing Dipoto, so this hire won’t matter either way.

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

@AngryMariners Can manage a really good roster, but won’t elevate a flawed one.

His media platitudes are also very soft.

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

Finally, you have to be willing to listen to the other side… IF their argument is sound & worth listening to.

If their argument is rooted in “I don’t understand this, and I’m not willing to try,” then they’re a waste of your time.

Adapt or die. Just like every walk of life. E/

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

I have to admit something, as someone who firmly believes in analytics and their vitality to a winning program:

I believe in their application toward scouting WAY more than their application toward game theory. 1/

[The WARmonger @TheWARmonger_]

Great piece here.

I stopped arguing this point because it got so tiresome, but Chris nails it:

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

Ultimately, it’s about committing to your analytical beliefs & sticking to your guns, but also your ability to adapt & change when necessary.

Most of all, it’s about execution of said process. 5/

[Jared Dufour 🌵 @jayredd8683]

Seems to be an abnormal amount of air-out-double-plays that occur In postseason elimination games. Or maybe it’s just me.

@OhMyItsAlly It’s like Robin Scherbatsky at the mere mention of the word ‘Mall’: you can only associate it with childhood trauma.

It’s possible I hate SNA for the same reason…too many bad Ravens memories.
