Damn, Andrew Bailey has done fine work with the Red Sox. Everybody had big questions about the rotation and even with Giolito, Bello, Pivetta and Whitlock on the IL, they still have the best ERA. Didn't see that one coming

I hope so too for you guys, When does he become a free agent?

Yeah crazy. And some not even close to being strikes. That's baseball for you

Doesn't that only count for stopping live balls in play? And it seems to me that he intended a shuffle

Probably, but he has dialed his rhetoric down a bit in an effort to seem more reasonable and stay in the talks to form a coalition. But I don't trust it one bit, if he had enough right-wing support, he would still spout the same bullshit. Luckily our democracy is well designed enough that he can't just tear it down, even if he had a majority.

If he becomes anything like Rizzo then you guys are in a good spot the next couple of years

Or at least get rid of Angel. I don't know if they'll move on to robo-umps, but a challenge system would be an improvement

I feel the the same. From the outside it don't really like how Boras handles some things, but it so hard to judge when you're not part of the process. I can't imagine how it must feel to be a good baseball player and be stuck in an market, not even knowing whether you'll be part of a opening day roster

Well, I'm Dutch and English is not my first language. Anyway, i've seen it used in a couple sports headlines in a positive manner, so I figured it was a thing
