At the same time, Caleb to Rome is such magic.

Draft Loveland at #10 and give him no chance.

Me being a Mizzou homer, I'll justify taking Burden as BPA even though he's getting underused because he's currently WR4. But there were so many opportunities to take an EDGE, LT or RB and Poles just decided nah.

That was launched. Damn.

Briefly thought Fletcher was getting applause for a double and thought the Nats fans were vicious. But that was cool for Taylor.

It's cool that it happens where it started for him. Probably makes it more emotional.

Let's think of it this way / why there's less hope for this vs. past rebuilds for teams. 1) Won't rehash the Hagen Smith vs. position players debate, but it does not inspire confidence. He did pick it up at the end, which helps ease the mind a bit. 2) This headline from BA is great: Scouting Roch Cholowsky: Most Complete College SS In A Decade? The Sox only have a 27% chance of getting him. The Twins have a 17% chance. Obviously the MLB #1 pick isn't as monumental as the NBA or NFL, but when you consider the bonus pool, it'll really suck if they miss the #1.

The Barons are the car.

Chris in 4 years after not making the playoffs: "It was a hard decision, but we had to trade Colson to the Yankees to strengthen our future. Based on the returns we got from him and Schultz, I'm confident we'll make the playoffs by 2032."

But how many of those people got GM roles without doing job interviews? It just shows how superior his vision is. Checkmate.

ELITE GM

And we're back!

Was real bad

Amazing play by Sprinkle, especially in this rain.

First non-Yankee to hit 60 in the AL.

But at the same time

To be fair, they did it 20 years ago. Then they just...stopped?

Lmao

I remember when my friends from Mizzou messaged me that the Bears took Luther and I was immediately confused before hyped. They were like "why are you confused? He's the best available!" Cause Poles just...kept ignoring it. It's frightening because right now, to get anything out of Loveland-Luther-Trapilo-Turner, your best chance is to try and do everything to turn Luther into a poor man's Devin Hester. For a cross-sports analogy: Poles would draft Tyrus Thomas over LaMarcus Aldridge 10/10 times based on physical traits. It's mind numbing.

I know. Just the concept of A) A 12-year-old prospect inking that B) It getting announced 5 years before it can legally be signed, with details about a prior contract falling through Are just bonkers to me

A signing that will happen in 4 years being reported now is wild to me.

Bulls and Giddy met and the middle as expected. God, I wish they had played hardball like this with Pat since they were determined to keep him.

Fulmer, Hansen, Collins.

Tra La La!
