Milkman delivers

I hate defending another scumbag, but false allegations are commonly made, especially when involving custody and such. This whole guilty until proven innocent thing is so out of hand anymore.

But who is Theoden and who is Wormtongue? It could work both ways.

I walk to the park when I go to games. It’s extremely easy. A lot of times I want to go just to enjoy the weather. I’ve been to one this year, and it was free. I was going again later this month, but got rid of my ticket when Getz was announced. I used to know several friends and relatives with various ticket packages. None of them have packages anymore. There’s one guy who I vaguely know through other people that still has a package. That is it. Don’t know what else we can do to force change. Apparently nothing.

? I guess I could’ve saved my rant by just reading the next couple of posts first.

There’s no road to contention any time soon. What aren’t people understanding about this? JR fucking admitted that we’re not gonna spend money on free agents, so any signing is going to be someone we’re hoping will bounce back. The only way to possibly be back into contention immediately would be to sign absolute studs to huge contracts. It’s not happening. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t trade some of these pieces of crap like Moncada and Anderson. People just need to understand that it’s not going to cause the team to be good.

Sounds a lot like a domestic violence relationship. Which is about right.

I think we’re gonna see that Getz is all credentials and nothing else. Or in Tex speak, all hat no cattle.

It’s all “he” and “guy”. By his own admission, he didn’t even consider female candidates. Get the commish on the phone, we got him this time.

It absolutely can get worse. They’re gonna start 2024 with fewer starters than they did in 2023.

Except the new chef was one of the guys sneezing in the soup just last week.

If I knew how to do it on my phone, I’d post a picture of the baseball scene from Stuck On You here.

I know people wanna be positive, but I said this yesterday: “Na, he’ll say the right stuff just like Grifol, and it’ll even win over some posters here. You’ll see a decent amount of posts telling you to give him some time and opportunity to prove he’s incapable.” And it’s so disheartening to see if happening.

The better question is if they’ll take questions. And if so, will anyone have the balls to ask a tough one.

What team hasn’t been there?

I’m factoring in buyouts. Clevinger definitely has one and I assume some of the other guys do as well.

This team is the Peter Principle on steroids.

Now think hard because this is important. What level was he on?

What? It was turned upside down a week ago, and now it’s been turned upside down again. And we’re back to where we were.

Am I to understand that he’s basically taking on KW and Hahn’s spots combined?

Wait, he’s both?

And the Score seemed to be saying that Getz would be named GM, not EVP (or whatever name it’ll have). Maybe I misheard or they misspoke.

You are definitely right about the roster, but I imagine it’s also difficult for a team like that to pick up an extra $10 million or more for September. Say they won the claims for Clevinger and one or two other guys with buyouts? So I’m betting they do a lot of homework on who they think will actually fall to them, and not just throw in claims for the best options and hope for the best.

Yeah, he brought Epstein up like he was the only candidate that anyone was talking about. MFer, people have brought up dozens of either proven candidates or up-and-comers from other organizations (which is the key that fans truly want).

But with the new system, if I’m understanding it correctly, teams would have to be careful about putting in too many claims. If they’re no longer considered revocable waivers, then a team winning a claim would have to take the player, right? And most, if not all, of these teams probably can’t afford to throw that much money around for rentals.

Yeah, that was awful. I get that you gotta toe a certain line if you want access to the team, but that just made me angry. Asking them to name a single available option that would be better? They could’ve rattled off about 50 rather than the two or three pathetic attempts they made. So you’re saying that JR fired one of the only AA execs in all of Major League Baseball?! Well, now it’s settled.
