There's only 1 way to find out. Ha!

Not surprising, really. Our rotation isn't very good, and we lost a lot of offense, and didn't even try to replace it.

Miscommunication my butt. Lol. He high tailed it outta there.

Much better suited, of course.

What's up with the giant text?

Jeesh! After hearing this, I better get MRI's of my hips PRONTO! Was plunked in the hip plenty of times.

MA probably only allows them to spend enough to stay at a Super 8 in Harlem.

That's just a bone head mistake on the runners part. He should have his head in the game. Imo, it's not a legitimate reason to not tryout the double base.

Aaron Judge doesn't agree with you. Lol

Or, if you've see the movie Waiting, "The Batwings". Or, "The Goat" 🤣

Pretty sure that's Scooter.

I just don't see the Brewers being interested in paying him that kind of $ with Quero waiting for his chance. Now, if they would happen to sign him long term, then obviously they should then immediately trade Quero and get something good in return, while his prospect status is still high.

Welp, his wife is gonna have to accept the fact that the fans have spoken, and we do like that name. Fans come first, with stuff like this. Lol

I agree with you about social media. About one of the pics from LinkedIn, though. I've actually worked in 2 very toxic workplaces. One for 20 years. Leaving a job after having that much seniority, is a very difficult thing to do, but it's also the right thing to do for that individual. It would take hours to say everything I dealt with at these places, but to name a few, 1) I wasn't allowed to leave work when I got a call that my mom passed away from terminal cancer, and the "union" there did/said absolutely nothing for me. They're completely corrupt. 2) I was pretty much physically assaulted by the head of HR, in front of the plant manager and the shop committee chairman, and even though I never raised my voice or flinched a muscle, I was suspended for a month instead of the HR guy. 3) I had FMLA for complications for a couple years, from having my gall bladder out. 3 different times when I used it, a lady I worked told me on 3 occasions, that I was a "worthless piece of s**t, and that I should just off myself". and 4) I stuck up for 2 twenty something Caucasian women who were sexually harassed by a 40+ yr old African American guy. He slapped both of their behind's, and texted both of them a picture of his "anatomy". The company did absolutely nothing to him, even though they supposedly have a "zero tolerance policy" against harassment of any kind. 1 of the women was bawling her eyes out, because they made them work right next to him again. I witnessed him rubbing it in their faces, that nothing happened to him. So, because of how I was raised, I couldn't just sit back and mind my own business any longer. I HAD to say something in their defense. My point, is there ARE times where leaving toxic workplaces is definitely the right thing to do, depending how toxic it is. At a different place, I was called a "lazy f'er" by the operator I worked under(I was the next in charge after him) just because my butt was dragging a bit after working 5 weeks in a row, 72+ hours each week, and 2 of those weeks, I did 2 jobs for 8 of the 12 hours. Like I told him, "pardon me for being human". The operators brother, was/is the 1st shift supervisor. Can you say "nepotism". To.make it worse, they kept a woman in her early 30's who was constantly on her phone probably 5 of her 8 hours each day, and her knew thing, was when asked questions(even questions about work), she would answer "meow meow....meow meow MEOW meow....meow, and sometimes actually start purring. Apparently, she "identified" as a friggin cat! SMDH Then they wonder why it never got better around there. It's not rocket science.

Another thing that a lot of people lack nowadays, especially much of the younger generations, is deductive reasoning skills.

From watching lots of acquaintances/friends who have kid(s), I think lots of it comes from parents using computers and game systems as their "babysitter", instead of actually being a parent. Another thing I've noticed, is how, many people with kids, are more concerned about being their kids "friend", instead of being their parents, first and foremost.

Bingo! I couldn't agree more.

The air is much lighter in Arizona. Ball carries much easier there. Probably would've been a flyout in Milwaukee, or pretty much everywhere else.

Welp, the A's will continue being the A's, no matter where they're based out of. Lol

If that's what umpires union said, it's a lame excuse imo. It's not like the double 1st base is 5 feet long, so not sure how they couldn't see both. Plus, they should just be watching the base, while listening for the ball to hit the glove, before making the call. If they truly can't see both bags just by looking at one, then they must have very narrow ranges of sight.

Imo, I don't think Freddy would need to be included to get Mayo, if they did make the trade. I could be wrong, though, obviously. Mayo is definitely disgruntled about being sent to AAA again, and can't say I blame him. That could possibly bring down the asking price just a smidge.

I'll go with Jeff Cirillo

Not nearly at Mayos' level though. Especially offensively. This trade won't happen anyway, so it really doesn't matter.

Their #'s look very comparable to me.

Even if that ends up being the case, I'd still love a trade for Mayo. We'll need a starting 1B next year, once Hoskins leaves.
