    2021 Phillies Thread

    In case anyone is wondering, the Spring Training plans are still being considered. The Nats and I believe one other team started the presale for their ST tickets today with the expectation of games starting according to schedule. This hasn’t been agreed between MLB and the PA. The more likely...

    OT: PSA on how not to masturbate

    LionJim is a Renaissance Man. I’m not saying that I advocate this or participate in such practice, but I understand this more than the mathematical intricacies that you post. I appreciate your breath and depth of subject matters.

    2021 Phillies Thread

    Just thought I’d share some non news. In December, I got an email about the still ongoing plans to hold games in Clearwater. It was announced that the Phillies planned to hold games under very restricted means with plans to be finalized and a ticket presale for season ticket holders to be done...

    Just saw where Realuto resigned with the Phillies for 115.5 million

    The JT deal was the deal that could have and should have been done a long time ago. The standard was always Mauer and the solution was always to beat the AAV of the Mauer deal but for a shorter length. I had suggested a deal of 4 years at $100 million so that the Phillies could be locking...

    Just saw where Realuto resigned with the Phillies for 115.5 million

    An interesting intersection here. The person who purchased the majority of the items at auction is the guy you see in the Sixers Jersey with the towel. He paid 7 figures I believe for the best items and then returned it all to Bench.

    Sort of OT: Mount Rushmore of Baseball

    I’ll omit the beginning part of the story which is actually the best part if you knew my friend and wife, but my friend told me of a time they took an elevator up at a stadium with Musial. When they got to the press level, the door opened up and the person outside the elevator came face to face...

    Sort of OT: Mount Rushmore of Baseball

    Many of the records we have discussed over the years are unassailable like Cy Young wins and Ryan K’s. Given the way the game is played, nobody will ever approach Rickey’s SB’s either. But there is another one for a single season that is tucked away as well. Hornsby hitting over .400 with 40...

    RIP - Hammering Hank Aaron

    From a baseball rich area of Mobile, Al. Besides Aaron, Paige, McCovey, Billy Williams (for all intensive purposes he played a lot of his youth baseball in Mobile) and then Ozzie all hailed from the area. What a rich baseball history. Did not necessarily appreciate being called Hank. Dusty...

    RIP - Hammering Hank Aaron

    This one hurts. Aaron had such a presence and vulnerability about him. Nobody deserves the absolute hell that this guy went through as he approached Ruth’s career HR mark. I’ll never forget the ropes that came off his bat. Launch angle my a$$. This guy just hit seeds that carried over the...

    OT: Helping an alcoholic family member

    You are in my thoughts. You will get a ton of responses, all likely to be variations of one another (reaching rock bottom, enabling, participation in programs, etc). Just a couple of other thoughts beyond those- 1- Many times, people suffering addiction issues are not employed so that one...

    Eagles and Texans should swap QB's since the reports state that Wentz and Watson want out. Similar salaries

    I think it would be multiple 1’s. You’d be getting arguably the 2nd most desirable QB behind Mahomes.

    Eagles and Texans should swap QB's since the reports state that Wentz and Watson want out. Similar salaries

    Texans would ask for a kings ransom for Watson. I seriously doubt that you could get a #1 pick for Wentz. I guess it’s easy to say they would when you rewind the clock for Sammy Sleeves (Bradford) but that trade was to a team that panicked a week before the season started after injury to their...

    NY Mets trade for four time all star Francisco Lindor

    Noted, but the big guys seem to get theirs and then the mid range guys get squeezed. I’m not sure he gets a super long deal but I think his AAV on any deal will still be huge.

    NY Mets trade for four time all star Francisco Lindor

    Thanks for the insight. I guess Cleveland felt it was better to move now rather than trying to create a Lindor bidding war for teams around the trade deadline given the impact he could make to a team thinking he might be the piece that pushes them into or winning the WS. I’ll be interested in...

    NY Mets trade for four time all star Francisco Lindor

    Great deal for the Mets given that they gave up 2 prospects that were not in their top 5 in the organization. Sure, they may be renting Lindor and who knows if butts are allowed in the seats and how many, but it’s a splash move for a guy who doesn’t worry about the money. I like the Carrasco...
