    I told both my kids once, "You know why we had two.. because we knew one day we'd have to kill one of you."

    Their faces for about 30 seconds before I smiled.

    The smile may or may not have added to the drama

    I think this won't be immediately obviously because Diaz, Altuve, Yordan, and Tucker are still along with Pena and Meyers' defense ( which people undervalue) along with very deep pitching.

    2025 should still be a competitive team but a half step down.

    With Framber and Tucker FAs and Altuve another year older 2026 is when I think the bottom falls out.

    Are you assuming none of our prospects pan out? We are not getting the nationally touted big names here but... we are getting solid, low cost contributors....

    Julio DHing and playing through a bum ankle while Tucker continues to be a p***y is pretty annoying to watch.

    Don’t understand how he can’t at least come back as a DH. I don’t care if he jogs around the bases, it’s better than watching Chas suck ass in the lineup.

    It's almost a fire-able offense to let Chas hit in that situation.

    Studies show: 9 out of 10 managers agree that 1 manager will always play Chas in that situation.

    Still can’t shake that loss - wasted opportunity to build the lead.

    Chas will hit a grand slam to win the world series.

    and then you all have to die

    i don't count that as a commercial break.

    broadcast still talked about the game and showed highlights.

    commercial breaks to me is literally a screen of "commercial break in progress" or beer or car commercial.

    mlb.tv does not broadcast the local commercials, just silence. It's wonderful.
