I can't believe Walker Buehler came back before Alex Cobb and Bryan Woo.

Way to play one for Brother Trout today, Team Hornswogglers. Impressive resilience.

Horns..."wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend"...called Trouty.
-
ughh… no timetable - hate to see it :-(
-
Oof, Trout. “Not season-ending”… yay?
-
Now, these are the saddest of possible words: Mike Trout will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

If you need to clear that MI logjam, I'll take Mookie...

Oooooh, I HATE it when that happens...

in all of m wisdom and as I manage psotion burn, I decide to sit Turner (so I can get more of Altuve)... welp... 2 bombs for Turner!!! haha
-
Hooray for PCA!

But, Commish, at least you had Pete Crow-A in the lineup today for his first MLB HR, eh?

It could be worse, Cutch. You could have traded away a young $2 pitcher who has 39 K's in 29 IP, and a WHIP under 0.83 before he made a start. That's been a tough feeling after every start.
-
That's okay, Cutch, don't feel bad - Jesus did the same thing to me when I dropped him on a Sunday morning...

…and he proceeds to hit a bomb.

Sad day when Cutch drops Cutch.

And thank you Saint for the deep dive on the count. You are the most reliable intellect I have ever known. As well as the most reliably honest intellect. Which are two different things as we have discovered since the Trump era began.

"Return to a typical rate" is a great campaign slogan. For anyone. Who wants to deceive. My relatives are not relative.
-
Well I'm glad it wasn't just me. I don't get to say that very often.
-
...all others must bring data, inc. St. CGT IV: according to BRef, MLB is on pace for 100 deaths in 2024, which is a return to a typical rate compared to recent years; here's the data back to 2010: '10, 101; '11, 111 (the high in these years until...); '12, 82 (the low by far since '10); '13, 102; '14, 95; '15, 94; '16, 95; '17, 101; '18, 98, '19, 100; '20 (now things get rougher), 117 (inc. 7 HOFers & Dick Allen who should be); '21, 109; '22, 106; '23, 113; '24, 30 & countin'.

And don't know about you guys but I'm very concerned with recent surge in deaths among former Major Leaguers. I'm sure the Pitch Clock is to blame. And Pussyman is also most likely involved somehow.

Bon was Scottish by birth. Appropriately.

Detmers will need to with that pedestrian fastball of his...

But does he have the biggest balls of them all?
-
"In the Sam Blum article I mentioned earlier, Enright talks about training Detmers to throw with confidence. 'Big balls,' in the words of Enright (and also Bon Scott, the late-20th century Australian poet and composer)." - M. Baumann, FG

The Saint is committed to looking for fun facts everywhere, so we're rebranding as St. CGT IV (also easier on the eyes).

Fun facts are everywhere. If you're not looking...well then you're not.
-
Oh Commish, would this qualify as a “fun fact”? Let’s all take a close look at ole Shelby.
-
Remember when he was traded for Jason Heyward and then Dansby Swanson? Long journey to where he is now.
-
Good to see Original Rimer (2011-2015) Shelby Miller having a nice season out of the bullpen.
-
Thanks Cutch. You and Horns really stepped up.
-
another banger!!! man, must be an early traded deadline this year!
-
thanks Saint … I am excited to have Mookie on the Cutch train - however it was tough to see those youngsters go - CES especially!!! As for Bitch’in - man, it looks like you implemented your strategy and loaded up on solid young MLB talent!!! Good Luck!!!
-
Speaking of bangers and Mookies - nice get, Cutch!

was much more of an Alice in Chains fan (and still regard them as the best band of that era) - Mookie/Pearl Jam Ten is still a banger tho - from front to back!
-
Just clarifying, Bitchin’, just clarifying….

Yes Saint I bought the Mookie Blaylock bootleg demo cd at Avalon Records in Bellingham a month into my junior year of college. You question my Grunge Music Knowledge? You... you... Californian.
-
And, for the uninitiated (not to mention the uninterested), Green River begat both Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone, the latter of which eventually begat Pearl Jam blah blah grunge grunge grunge...

Could it be that Bitchin' is unaware that Pearl Jam's original name was "Mookie Blaylock"? Apparently it is possible...

Actually if Smaug is a Baseball God he most certainly lives in the bowels of The Coliseum. Sleeping on piles of revenue sharing gold.

Manfred finds The Ring. Gollum wins. Balance is restored.

Or just give them back their tube of bullfrog and be done with all of this.
-
If MLB was run by the same yahoos as the NFL they would make pitchers throw underhand.
-
*sob*
-
Bieber now… WTF.
-
Oh, what’s this? *Rubbing eyes* I think I’ll roll over, go back to sleep AND DIE!

Man, when even Isildur’s Heir is getting scanned, it reminds that pitching always attracts the Eye.
