Why not? No EE...you miss him already?

Me too. I wouldn’t mind grandal on the two hole right there working 8-10 pitches the first inning

And I’ll say KW comes off as very intelligent when he speaks about anything other than losing out on Machado. He talks like a president should talk

Lol right? It was probably that Moraine Valley human sexuality course

Eh. I don’t think there’s some definitive correlation between college graduation and intelligence though. Look at Illinois- there are only a few smart schools that arguably require intelligence to get into- UIUC, U Chicago, Northwestern. The other 100 or so colleges in Illinois just require money/debt and a chimpanzee-level ACT score. This group makes up the absolute vast majority of college graduates each year across the country. Of course, most people fall somewhere between chimpanzee and the bar set by smart schools. So what does graduating college actually mean? Is a chimpanzee with money more qualified than KW? Maybe lol, maybe. But I sure wouldn’t cite general college graduation as evidence. I would bet that most of those GMs went to tough ass schools which would be a better argument.

What does noted HS graduate mean?

Everybody understands those obvious numbers though. Why cite that? Isn’t the actual debate on whether one believes, after 7 months, most of the Swedish population has been exposed to the virus or not? If your common sense tells you that most of the Swedes have avoided exposure and you want to cite antibody levels, then yes it looks bad. If your common sense tells you that due to the infectiousness of the virus and lack of social distancing that you’d figure the vast majority of Swedes have come into contact with the virus, then the total lack of any exponential rise in deaths is maybe a good sign for the world.

I dunno. Teams can’t really score against Heuer, Crochet, Bummer, Foster or Colome. How much more depth do you want?

Been a while since I bonered up this thread. Where those dead Swedes? Next week?

A few?

Just curious, what about the Twins do you think is so much better than the Sox?

Truth. I honestly think the Sox saw NO advantage in winning the division, or at least viewed it as LESS important than health, bullpen readiness, lineup readiness etc.

Why would that guy do all the work of those scenarios? Why not just wait until the games are over today and see how it lines up? My brain hurts from imagining such a waste of time ??

I think they know he has no clue where it’s going. Probably were holding out hope he’d catch fire against the cubs and parlay that into sone playoff confidence. Ship, please set sail.

Pretty much. Give me the As simply because baseball won’t allow them to advance. Ricky can’t lose to fate right? Right? Right...?

Jesus. You realize they are adding even more good players next year? They might win it all this year with, what, like 10 guys making their debuts in 40 games? i admit this finish has sucked ballsdicksack for sure

Maybe we wanted to see if Rodon was gonna be “the guy, the secret weapon” etc for the playoffs. if he dominated there that would have been huge. Now we know not to high-leverage him in the playoffs. no big deal to me. Now we know

I’m starting to think the Sox don’t give a shit about playoff seeding

Love every bit of this! Maybe you get the option of trying Cease or Rodon if the Sox put up some runs early?

Maybe it’s on purpose. Yes, that must be it. 4d chess champ RR

Amazing share. He gets it

Missed the game but just started the mlb.tv in the 6th...again...for the third time. strangely that first off speed pitch he bounced looked like 125mph. unreal. And I was excited about Kelly more ??‍♂️

I’m surprised Hahn & Kenny let Ricky make personnel decisions at all. Thought he was the manager

Basabe with the good start!

I like it if they make it “Pick your opponent” before each round. That selection show would be the most-watched thing every time...and all the shit talking that stems from every pick, every round, every year. And that turns into REAL rivalries carrying over into the following year. Potential for greatness.
