Yea but there are better hills to die on. Price brought far more attention to this than if he had just kept his mouth shut in the first place. You gotta know when to pick your battles. Doing it over some random minor league rehab start is just LOL bad.

And all the alcohol. But you could ignore the near-twenty years he pitched AFTER his 17 CG season if you want.

To point 2 — is saying “yuck” really that bad in the context of things? If he was dragging the guy through the ringer, thats one thing, but homering any bad stats under the rug seems worse to me as a fan.

It certainly makes Price look like an idiot.

Eck was a tremendously talented flamethrower when he first came up to the bigs. He is also a recovering alcoholic who got on the wagon after flaming out as a starter with the Cubs in the mid-80s. That’s one of the reasons he doesn’t do many road trips as a color commentator for the broadcasts; he wants to avoid the…

This is hilarious. Does Price even know who Eck is? Eck gave up one of the most famous HR’s in history. I’m pretty sure he knows how hard the game is.

Sure, Eckersley doesn’t know how rough it is on pitchers today. David Price has completed 16 of his 259 career starts, and Eckersley completed 17.

That cut was like the “2001: A Space Oddyssey” of grossness.

We should be happy; the two worst subplots almost killed themselves today.

All I could think during that scene was “what about the chamberpots, Sam?”.

I think that might be the first time. she finally gets that Jon isn’t fucking around he really doesn’t give a shit about being Lord of Winterfell- he’s playing a completely different game for different stakes than Sansa or Littlefinger can even comprehend

I read that in the voice of Jeremy Clarkson

That’s not really why she’s worried.

On the bright side, thanks to him the show has now 66% less sand snakes.

That was one of the best match cuts in cinematic history. I was grossed out, then strangely hungry.

I cheered for Euron because he’s a classic psycho in true form, loving nothing but guts and gore.

Yes, that’s exactly what was said in the “inside the episode”. It’s supposed to mirror season 1 when Ned is talking to Arya about how she’ll grow up and become a lady and whatnot, she says to him “that’s not me”.

I’ve never been more grossed out by anything on this show than these past two Sam Does Gross Shit scenes.

My impression was that “That’s not you.” referred to the now wild thing returning home to safety and comfort, a sort of mirror for Arya herself. I’m not totally sure what to infer from it, perhaps Arya will turn around now and go back to her original plan? But it seemed to me like the comment was about being tamed.

Seems the Sam as the narrator/scribe was kind of confirmed tonight right?
