Honestly after living several years of my life in the Midwest nothing is worse than a f$&* all ice storm. They are freaking insane in terms of destruction. Ice storms definitely vary in degrees of destruction, but a bad one basically overloads every single exposed surface. Trees, power lines, comm lines, roofs, etc... I’ve been through several, but the worst was in ‘07. People lost power for over two weeks in my area in the middle of winter, you could hear tree limbs snapping literally every few seconds, cars were smashed by falling trees, houses were destroyed. It was freaking nuts. That storm happened in early December and it didn’t get fully cleaned up until the following March.

I think it's weird but cool that Dana Delany just comes over to your place to watch movies.

In this thread: white people telling black people what they should or should not do, and how they should or should not feel, with a very narrow understanding of the real issues that spark this kind of peaceful protest.

Trout's already had at least one other slump like this. He will be fine once he adjusts.

Jo Adell looked like a big leaguer there. Dude was working every righty low and away with that two seamer and cutter. Adell went up there looking to drive a ball to right and did it.

Honestly, with this feeling like a lost cause of a season already I'm ok with Adell getting worked over in his first shot at regular playing time. Obviously it sucks for him and the team, and in an ideal world he'd be going through a lot of this development in AAA. But I'm all for him playing in real games and hopefully working through these challenges without it eroding his confidence too much. Hopefully the vets are telling him it's a hard adjustment for everyone and to just keep his head up and put in the work.

A bunch of white guys saying there's no systemic racism is absolutely on brand for this forum.

This is what happens when your approach to pitching for 5+ years is “Screw it, we’ll figure something out.”

Yep. Firm agree.

I’m not typically one for hyperbole, but this is freaking embarrassing.

Ya I’m with you on that. My point is this team didn’t acquire any arm worth a shit this offseason except Bundy who won’t be turning this club around either. It was truly a pathetic offseason. Something is severely wrong with this team’s scouting and signing ability when it comes to pitching.

I mean I saw their plan, and to be fair it has been derailed by injury and death. They felt they had two good number twos in Heaney and Scaggs. Then Canning and Sandoval coming up with a large ceiling. And finally, Ohtani was the big signing of the ace-type pitcher. The problem is that all of these guys are over-rated. Heaney and Scaggs were both 4-5 guys at best with as many bad days as good. Canning and Sandoval are probably 3-5 guys at best and as said Ohtani cant stay healthy. The people evaluating talent just plain suck.
