Makes total sense but we'll never consider it.

It's pretty cool honestly. I was canvassing the area as a twentysomething and stumbled onto it. I love s%*# like that on the east coast, lots of monuments like that.

The Astros don't look that great either. We have made a lot of mediocre teams beat us, but that's what a historically awful team will do. We should be up 5-6 instead of two and with our bullpen this is a 50/50 game at best.

Could also ask him where the Dodger started. I used to live about 5 blocks from Ebbet's field home plate, it's outside a housing project in Crown Heights now.

If his job was on the line to you think John could give us Willy's nickname?

If they told him to go 80% until he's traded it's the first smart thing they've done injury wise in a while.

SOmeone show that dumbass Lopez how much easier it is to tag a guy out when you're on the right side of the bag.

based loaded nobody out one run, this fucking team bro. surprised they got one.

Well, Vaughn tried to hit into a DP.

Cannon looks good.

lol. This is such a clown fucking org. They sure backed off all that talk (not that it was every anything other than utter BS) about a quick turnaround and how Getz's familiarity with everything would help expedite that. They just lie to our faces over and over and expect us to keep coming back for more.

This is the same crack staff that tweeted their video capture software wasn't working. Real geniuses.

Go chase dreams some where other than this historically bad team. As a fan I hate them as players, as people I am sure they are decent enough.

He's amazing. He's painting 98 on the black quite often. It's the best I've seen since Sale.

Duke Ellis fucking sucks. Like that clown Remillard not only does he suck, he's also a fucking space cadet. f*** all these guys and f*** Getz for forcing us to watch them. These guys aren't MLB players, they are career minor leaguers that were lucky enough to in the worst org in baseball so they could get a MLB pension and check.

He's a solid 3rd starter elite 4th. Not an ace, control problems even when he's got his best stuff that we didn't see from Sale and so far Garrett. That's really what separates the elite from the good, having that great stuff but also having pinpoint fastball command almost every start. Rodon when healthy had it more often than not as well.

Andrew Vaughn has negative fWAR for his career. Nothing about him screams "high floor". A 750 OPS going forward would mean a replacement level player or .5 fWAR at best. I'm glad he's hot, but he needs to hit ALOT to matter. Not a 750 OPS, but like an 850 OPS. That would be a solid regular at 1B. Not only is he "just" a 1B, he's by many metrics a bottom 5 or even league worst defensive 1B. He has no range, he's 5-10 in cleats, and his reflexes are poor. He needs to hit, and hit a lot.

Not really sure this is a strong response to "nobody is trading for Andrew Vaughn". Clearly he was speaking a bit rhetorically and if you want to trade Vaughn for what essentially amounts to PTBNL like returns, well, that's no good. At that point you just hold onto him and hope like hell in 2025 he's an average regular and maybe you can actually get a real prospect return for him.

Someone posted that those commercials are a cuckhold fantasy and now everytime I see one I can't unsee it. FML.

And she'll love it too!

It's weird man I think there is some law about it. I bought two from the vendor when I walked in and she cracked both of them. I'm like, I didn't really want them both cracked but whatever. In general the transformation of the ball park into a revenue maximizing enterprise and circus seems complete. The piped in music was so loud in between innings I couldn't even talk to the guy next to me without shouting.

122 wRC+ against RHP this year might get us something but yea, these are guys that in OOTP the AI would try and send you back 2x the salary and then like a 4th OF and a 45 FV utility guy prospect. And the AI wouldn't be that wrong.

Trust me I'm at the forefront of it. You get DINK couples in their 20s making 350k a year that think absolutely nothing of tipping 30% on top of a 5 cup of coffee. I'm over it personally, I just stopped tipping on takeout. We have 21 dollars an hr min wage now, if you want to pay your employees more, just raise prices, I'm not going to be tipping for pouring 50 cents worth of bean juice into a cup.

Got any quotes? I mean, who wouldn't believe it? The vendors have to pissed at how bad the team is, that cuts into their tips. At T-Mobile I was being flashed the reader with 15/20/25% on every purchase. I didn't tip, but I know a lot of people feel that pressure and will when the employee is right there in front of them. I would wonder if like most places only a fraction of that tip goes directly to the employee as well. T-Mobile vendor told me that get pooled and the vendor takes a cut as well.

Gavin and Vaughn would get like an team's 12-15 prospect (so at best a B- guy, more likely C+) and then some lotto ticket 18 year old that 1/100 amounts to nothing. Vaughn might not even get that. If he stays hot for another month maybe. He's still at the end of the day a a horrible defensive 1B that hits righty and has a career wRC+ of 102 and negative .5 fWAR. He's not exactly good, even when he manages to hit league average he's barely replacement thanks to his defense.
