TJ’s salads, mac&cheese pizza dinners, and Carolina Gold bbq sauce are all really good.

Cauliflower pancakes browned in a pan on the stove for breakfast.  Dab of ketchup.

Hoskins wouldn’t have been a half-bad add if they knew Ohtani was gonzo.

Again, I’d be shocked if he goes to Toronto. I’ll respect his decision if he does, but I think he’s staying in California. Is SF a legit player in this?

Winter Meetings have been a bust so far

Have a feeling Ohtani is holding everything up.

It's obvious and it's not the players holding up to see $ amount. It's the other teams waiting for their next course of action. 

If he comes back to the Angels then suddenly the Blue Jays and Dodgers fire to the trade market. 

Also why the Angels haven't made moves yet. They're waiting on Ohtani.

I am shocked at how common it is for people to insist on inserting an apostrophe into a word to make it plural.

And they stick to it even if you correct them.  It’s their thing I guess.  You might even say they are possessive about it?

Top players waiting Snell, Bellinger, Yamamoto plus others would have more teams after them. Same with SD trading Soto if Toronto misses out on Ohtani and goes after Soto his price would go up.

I know my 5th year HS English teacher it also shocked her. To this day her hair still looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket.

Yamamoto was always expected to be a while after the Winter Meetings. He'll probably sign after Christmas.

For sure. Sometimes I think just have to handle the cards you’re dealt. Maybe in a backwards way it would make a righty-heavy bullpen work in tandem.

Obviously I’m on the Sandoval train too - heck I’m the conductor - so I wouldn’t see his left-handedness as an issue. 

That's not how pre-series scouting and a hitting Philosophy for an upcoming series works.. iF a team is running 3 Lefties in a row at you with the same repertoire and arm slot. Then it decreases half the prescouting and you only have to deal with tendencies.

The Dodgers/Dave Roberts being so open about Ohtani leads me to think he isn't signing there, and they're hoping when that becomes public it will look like he spurned them, and not that they didn't do enough to lock it in.
