Unbelievably, I went to the mlb app earlier this morning and the Ueck film was available even here in Arizona!!! So we watched it. We laughed. We cried. We cried so much! But it was really done well!!! Wow!

Looks like Miami 😆

Dodgers getting to 99 wins seems a bit far fetched (sorta)

Unfortunately doesn’t work out for us regular mlb.tv users from out of state. oh, well. It’ll stream someday.

Are left fielder WAR numbers always this low? That just seems like a rather sorry group of 30 left fielders, overall.

This FOX audio going in and out is going to drive me nuts. Levering sounds like he’s talking into a tin can. And then it suddenly gets a bit louder, but in really strange situations, and then goes back to soft. ugh.

For the record, I talked to my boss this morning (Tarik Skubal’s father, by the way. No, I’m not kidding.). He said from what he heard from Tarik when they spoke on the phone yesterday (Sunday) was that the Tigers asked for Logan Henderson for sure, among other players that he couldn’t remember. But Henderson was definitely in the deal. That would have been a big ask, so I get why we didn’t get a deal done.

So, what was the point of picking up Heuer? This one makes me puzzled.

Disappointed

Could there possibly be a “trade for CJ Abram’s and then send him to Detroit to sweeten a deal for Skubal” ring to this? Just a thought

My boss (principal) is Skubal’s dad. He thinks Tarik will get traded to Milwaukee IF they decide to trade him. He can’t stand the Tiger’s GM and can’t wait to get his kid off the Tigers, though. With so many of infield prospects, why not deal for Skubal and shift gears a bit for once? I’d also love to see the Brewers shift to Mason Miller if they can’t get a starter. I really don’t see any game-changing hitters on this year’s market. If any team deals for a hitter, you’re hoping for one of those two-month turnarounds like the Braves had in 2021 with Soler and Rosario. With something like 23 of 30 teams within reasonable striking range for a playoff spot (and the impending lockout) I kind of get the sense that this year’s deadline might be an overall dud.

Yes! We just watched that last Saturday and were very pleasantly surprised with how good it was!

You can’t tell me what to do! seriously, monsoon season is here in the desert and I’m already sick of this high humidity crap. It’s why I moved here thirty years ago. The dry heat easily beats this garbage. There’s my “hot” take. oh, about baseball and the Brewers? um, how about…. I am totally fine with the Brewers trading several high prospects to pick up Skubal and Finnegan from the Tigers and maybe more prospects to go after Ryan (twins) AND Chapman (Red Sox) I mean, there might not be baseball next year. Might as well go all in.

This was likely talked about a few years ago, but I finally managed to find the time to sit down and watch “Masters of the Air” on Apple. Made by the same production company that made “Band of Brothers”, I found it to be outstanding. I think it jumps over “The Pacific” to be the new #2 on my WWII shows list. p.s. I don’t really have a physical list.

My only concern was, "Don't get hurt!" Otherwise, all in good fun if they've got a guy just chucking up 40 mph meatballs.
