@Admin on a roll with the funnies today

I actually used to play the tuba. No joke.

Me. My self-righteous anger was worth more than his expected 0.7 WAR.

Does that make Mel the key master and Skip the gate keeper?
-
“He LOOKS LIKE, TO THIS POINT, that he’s grown up a LITTLE BIT and that he’s shown SOME signs from a BULLPEN standpoint that MAYBE he’s overcome a FEW things.” If Mel hedged any more, he’d be a gardener. Or a hedge fund owner. Either way, yike-a-ronis.

If we sign someone to a 15-year for an average of $66,666/year, that would be pretty miraculous.

Low balling T&A?

We bad news bears.

Why would the artist formerly known as Twitter be on a baseball roster?
-
Minus soler, but plus a full season of Burger versus most of the season with Segura. I think Bell is a little better than Cooper, too. I don't think the lineup is worse than last year, but it's probably worse than what they had last September.
-
Yup. Basically there’s a split analysis: - Given the team’s imposed financial constraints, not making the qualifying offer may have been prudent if they believed Soler was likely to accept it - Baseball has no salary cap, there’s no good reason they can’t spend a lot more than they are, and they didn’t actively pursue any free agents anyway. Make the qualifying offer, and either: he accepts ➡️ you’ve improved your 2024 roster, or he declines ➡️ you add a high draft pick to improve a bad farm system (bottom quarter in MLB by the assessments I’ve seen so far).

I get that this team needs starter depth. This guy sucks. But even beyond that, did they really have to DFA one of the few guys who actually showed some potential as a hitter? Seems odd to me. Not particularly consequential, but confusing.

Marlins Get Married [Jonah Bride Acquisition]

Yo, seriously like Moneyball 101. Acquire an overlooked high-OBP guy, not to mention the positional flexibility. -

The Marlins acquired a Bride?! Disgusting misogynists. I knew that once corporations became people, it would eventually get to this point. -

Lance is a maiming method. -
Are the uniform rules rules that are uniform, rules about uniforms, or rules about uniforms that are uniform?

Could you imagine we’d get a new GM and somehow end up addressing even fewer of our needs than with Kim Ng?
-
Bendix wasn’t sure if they meant contract or contract, and being new on the job he hasn’t wanted to take the chance. Also, does MLB.tv have a package where you only watch when you’re team is in defense?

Baseball playoff series are very small sample sizes. Anecdotal notes about the dodgers and rays don’t mean (sonof)jack. By the way, the Dodgers and Rays are 4/14 (29%) World Series participants, and 1/7 (14%) champions since 2017. Considering there have been 10 or 12 teams making the playoffs during that time, this is still a strong showing.

I put in my calendar to watch it after reading the 2018 fangraphs elegy and the Marlins signing a free agent, but somehow I never got around to it.
