  1. The “deep dive” on Buehker is three surface stats? winning percentage era quality starts Wow that’s deep.
  2. One way for a “not ready” player to get ready is to get thrown into games before he is ready.
  3. Scorekeepers need more balls to charge errors. That is a throwing error.
  4. Yes sometimes people rich as fuck become delusional. But he actually seemed to care quite a bit about his chosen number when he went into deep detail as to why 55 made sense for him. Pujols has become a clown. It’s sad really.
  5. Fowler is a better coach than the actual coaches? Fowler is a better mentor than Upton and Trout? Forgive my detailed questions, but I just want to get this meaningless fluff narrative right.
  6. Seeing #55 on his jersey seems like such an obvious indication that he should not be on the field. #5 is not a retired Dodger number. Fact: The 2021 version of Albert Pujols did not command enough respect for him to get #5 with the Dodgers. Either Seager laughed at him, or Pujols subconsciously knew not to even ask. Either way, what does this tell you Albert?
  7. In terms of having any relevance whatsoever to the Angels present and future, I would be more interested in Mark Prior hitting 83mph on the gun in a private workout than Fowler doing well with his knee. This guy will never see the field again in an Angel uniform.
  8. I loved the push bunt attempt. Pujols can’t move. Loved the idea.
  9. I am becoming a big believer in a huge upside for Sandoval. The ceiling for him is way higher than I ever previously gave him credit for.
  10. I am a freedom freak. I can’t think in any other way. For me, personal freedom is more important that everything else combined. With my personal viewpoints, I can think of few things worse than slavery. I would rather be murdered than enslaved, regardless of the living conditions.
  11. They are not forced and they, generally speaking, are paid plenty to not live below the poverty line since they banked a signing bonus.
  12. Is two guys competing with each other for the starting catching job a human caused adversity?
  13. I totally get this view. I have kids too. But the older I get, the more I know there is a whole lot of value in young adults learning how to adjust to lost opportunities, facing what feels unfair, and figuring out how to handle situations that are not equitable. They will need these skills and you don’t just have them out of thin air. Life is a whole lot more enjoyable when you have the skills to deal with adversity and you stop wasting time and energy feeling personally wronged by lost opportunities, things that seem unfair, and unequal outcomes.
  14. No. I did not say it was not as bad as people say. You just made that up out of thin air. It is irritating to explain clear thought to reactionaries (often because it doesn’t work). Slavery was as bad as everyone says it was because there is pretty much nothing worse than the idea of humans owning other humans. Don’t make shit up. It’s lame.
