    I guess that's the average but we are over that already.

    I've tried mental exercises, mediations, therapy, various hard drugs, electroshock, and Atkins. Nothing works.

    It's like dancing to your favorite band playing live in your backyard with a rock in your shoe - but the rock is a rusty razorblade covered in diarrhea, and the shoe is your dick hole.

    4 on Apple this season (1 remaining), 1 on Peacock. That's the price of success.

    I'm 'bout to go buy the cheapest drinkable 6-pack of tallboys I can find...probably Miller High Life. Haven't tried that yet, we'll see how it goes.

    I don't believe this. I think Dusty cares deeply about winning his way. I disagree with Dusty's way.

    To what act specifically that he's failing to perform in his capacity as GM are you referring?

    Yes, but he has hit the ball relatively hard with bad luck. I’m not saying he is good - he’s not - but he has been better than Abreu despite an unsustainably bad batting average on balls in play.

    That's the problem. "His way" isn't realistic to winning. Trying to figure out what "his way" is and how it logically leads to winning is hard to figure out.

    Singleton makes way too much weakass fly ball contact. Which is kinda bad when you're an extreme FB hitter. His LD% is well below MLB average and his hard hit% is essentially average.

    I really like his approach at the plate, he just doen't do much with it.

    Chas turned the wrong way.

    i agree. But Abreu has been even worse. Diaz would be ideal assuming Brantley comes back to DH and Dusty refuses to bench Maldy.
