“Dink and Doink” is my favorite offensive scheme.

Agreed. That Smoak is still here is definitely not for a lack of wanting to deal him. They took middling returns on players that were much better pieces for a good team than Smoak. The window where he was really and truly a solid trade piece was very small and as much I hate Jays management, I do not blame them for…

Yeah, the Jays’ committed payroll next year, including minimum salaries and likely arb awards, is $40m-ish (assuming Galvis and Giles are traded), and a large part of that is Tulo. They’ll have plenty of money over the next couple years to build out the roster, plus one of the best groups of young talent in baseball.…

While I agree with most of your point (about mascots and their names), surprisingly, the term “Indian” is actually NOT offensive to many indigenous people. I was very surprised by this, mainly for the rationale you mentioned (Columbus - “We’ve landed in the West Indies!”).

Thank you for your service

This is something I struggle with on a regular basis, living in the Cleveland area. No, not whether or not they should be called the Indians (they shouldn’t), but rather avoiding calling them by that. I usually opt for calling them the Tribe (although that’s not necessarily much better), but I love baseball so I talk…

As a fan of the Cleveland Baseball Club, I endorse this take.

Accountants don’t drive FCA products...because they are able to do math on things like depreciation and reliability metrics.
