That there is an elite qb

This year more than any other has shown that pocket passers are a dying breed - especially those who lack creativity, an ability to escape the pocket and create plays, etc.  Joe Flacco, Matthew Stafford and on and on.  They look like they’re playing in the 1990s.  And you have to look at their offensive coordinators…

Yeah, but is he elite?

Denver deserves Flacco because we refuse to spend there time and effort to nurture and develop a young quarterback. We will live and die with veteran castaways and we will be just high enough to endure it year after year.

“He’s been around a Super Bowl winner” is an incredible slight.

Sleepy Joe has low energy! Sad!

Commenting to yourself is just south of stalking.

Two weeks later, I was gone. So, it’s like, ‘Why did I waste my time?’

I don’t believe any of this.

I feel bad, but I gotta assume he is not that good a player, because there is no way the Pats would send a player they thought was good to the Jets.

I believe the seams are less pronounced. Very slightly so, but the pitchers get that much less of a grip, which means they generate that much less spin rate, which means the ball dances that much less over the plate. So basically what used to be a biting slider is now a big ol meatball over the plate waiting to turn…

All of this is going to get worse. I read Lindburgh & Sawchik’s MVP Machine this summer and my biggest takeaway is that teams are doing everything in their power to make marginal players good enough to replace more expensive players. The owners just don’t give a shit about the MLB rank and file and until the union…

But hasn’t Manfred been bemoaning the length of games since he became commish? So the argument is that he wants to speed up games, but he also approved juicing balls...which slows the game down? I guess I could see him thinking it makes sense (juicing = more fans & the other things to speed the games up will even…

It’s more like, “WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CHANGING THE META MID-SEASON?!”

The 1997 Seattle Mariners, a team that had Ken Griffey Jr, Jay Buhner, Alex Rodriguez, Edgar Martinez and Paul Sorrento, hit 264 team home runs, breaking the record of 257 set by Baltimore the previous year (breaking the 1961 Yankees mark of 240).

If they actually cared about that they wouldn’t schedule the games to start so late.

+1 unqualified trump appointee.

If everyone is an offensive powerhouse then there are no more superstars and you don’t have to pay superstar salaries.

Juicing baseballs to gin up interest in the game makes fundamental sense. De-juicing them for the postseason makes no sense if we accept that my first sentence is true.

“that the people in charge of baseball, a big and beloved American thing, don’t seem to care about it very much”
