@TheBlogfines and they should look to do better than 7-6 (2025 record) head-to-head, let alone 4-9 and looking like JV to the Brewers' varsity (this year)

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@TheBlogfines Things are going to get ugly for the foreseeable future with the salary cap if they can’t outspend their developmental misses. Feels like they’ve reached their ceiling with Hoyer in charge.

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@jacobzanolla Hoyer is a high floor-low ceiling GM

@SamOlbur I don't blame him for putting in Palencia, I blame Palencia for that pitch location and imploding. Craig is a great manager but clearly not enjoying putting lipstick on a pig re: the flawed roster he's been handed.

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@brendan_cubs they can talk all they want about dealing with adversity but they are clearly scared out of their wits right now

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@jacobzanolla As great as PCA is, the downside of his emotions mean he is prone to pressing. I did not expect Counsell to panic, though. This team is beyond cooked.

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@cody__cubs they will, they'll get their first hit in the 6th inning this time

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@TheBlogfines Not extreme enough, turns out

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@Michael_Cerami The Cubs are missing all of the ball, so you’re winning

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@SamOlbur The rest of the league, so far, has had answers in the playoffs, or rather, the Brewers' strategy of stringing hits together instead of hitting HR doesn't work as well when facing, say, a comparatively rested Dodgers' pitching staff that can go toe-to-toe with Milwaukee's

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@bmainzer @SkyBandit44 @WalshFreedom He's a grifter

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@TheBlogfines Between this and the “hand cramp” it’s rightfully going to take him a lot of time to regain the trust of the team, staff, and FO. At this point in the year, you need results over upside, and I think that’s Peterson rotation and Assad bullpen.

Durham trio Magic Tuber Stringband quietly released one of the most audacious albums of the year in May, inspired by fiddler Courtney Werner's research on radioactive birds. Wrote about Heavy Water (@thrilljockey) and their recent show at @ConstellationCh https://t.co/PGE22vOVAv

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@TheBlogfines I think you do "need" it if you want to have a puncher's chance head-to-head with the rotations of LAD, MKE, and PHI. If Garrett was their controllable arm, that's a risk but fine. For this year, what they have now can *maybe* win them a Wild Card series.

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

There were times during their set at @TheVicChicago where it felt like @theblackkeys were a true duo again. And @TheAnimerosBand, who opened, are another hit for @danauerbach's @easyeyesound label--stellar psychedelic cumbia. Words and photos! https://t.co/RhXlqtu4GI

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

@jacobzanolla I’d bet he gets to the bullpen after today. Can use Assad for a spot-start, and then hopefully, he’d lose it anyway by way of acquisitions after the deadline.

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

Words on and photos of @MissMargoPrice and @HFTRR at this year's @SquareRootsCHI, plus thoughts on their recent albums Days of Unrest (@LomaVistaRC) and Live Forever (@NonesuchRecords). Prine mural looking pretty good at @oldtownschool! https://t.co/mkaKZvgBtQ

[Jordan Mainzer @jmainzer]

Spoke with @jaugustinemusic for 75 minutes a couple months back about the story of his first album in 10 years, I Love You Forever, written around the time of close loss but a vessel for his thoughts and feelings about growing up in rural Maine https://t.co/WLrISfwVPO

@bmainzer @marcyrw Any account whose bio includes "rugged individualist" along with "anti-Marxist" and a support for Israel and Ukraine probably likes arming countries not for moral reasons but because their investments are tied up with weapons manufacturers

Crystalpunk, the debut album from Belfast duo Chalk, has its heart, mind, and ears in the punk clubs and raves of yesteryear while trying to unify us in the present https://t.co/EOygpRlA8u
