Giving up 18 and 12 to Ms. Rachel in the NBA celebrity game. She's splashing jumpers from the logo, and at the apex of each she's ignoring the ball and waving at my family in the ninth row with "hiiiiiii, friends!" She doesn't have a single dark pink sweat stain anywhere. Mr. Aron is booing me.

Schneider may just be a Ron Washington type, best as the #2 on a coaching staff, well-liked but not always the one you want making the final call. Not really an insult. It's hard to be a good field manager.

That was the problem he had with Cease recently: despite the no-hitter he wasn't pitching well and a rested, capable bullpen would have taken over sooner. Thankfully they were up against Boone who only has one person who thinks he manages well, and lucky for him it's Cashman.

Maybe I'm just dinging him for what his support staff should be doing. Like how many years on the job for this pitching coach now, 20? 22? That's Dave Duncan territory. Pete... you're no Dave Duncan.

Monday's gong show, pinch-running for Garbage Can George and then not attempting a steal off a pitcher who never tries to stop the running game AND then losing the game on, stop if you've heard this before, a Kirk double play...that was it for me. He needs a bench coach too.

People keep asking me if they're making the playoffs and I say "...would it matter? to make it as the last seed at 79-83?" I know everyone thinks they can manage better than their local team's manager but Schneider is weak on tactics and it holds them back. Has the respect of the players though.

Use the same rules that decide whether a pitcher gets a CL/RP/SP label? Like if I have a series coming up against them (whether regular-season or playoff) I want to know how good their regulars are. Chapman is a regular to me.

The versions of the Pirates that were superficially successful but also overvalidated Clints Hurdle and Barmes are very high on this list, too, I feel

fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
No argument against the Pirates being the worst-run in the big four but I wonder how much trouble I can get into detailing the NHL teams that are worse than Columbus (and that's a high bar to clear given that this is the team where a coach-hosted party killed their goalie)

I followed you for baseball stuff a while back on someone's recommendation but now almost don't care if there's any baseball because the family drama never disappoints. Have definitely read a previous thread out loud to my wife. My sympathies though for the experience of it.

I was hard on Crawford on first (and second and third) viewing but he has nowhere to go when the ball is hit but forward. The only way out of this is to take literally no lead. Dodgers played very tight at third and it worked. Can't be upset at that. At Realmuto, however....Jesus fucking Christ.

If the Mayor needs more education, she’s free to go out, on her own time, and get it, not take up more time from Councillors and staff hearing from lobbyists and proponents who could have shown up on June 16, taken their 5 minutes each, as was granted to everyone else, and made their case.

I say it often but once again: By granting them borrowing privileges and protecting their privacy, public libraries afford children a form of civic standing and respect that has few parallels in our “free” society, which mostly treats children as chattel. Vociferously defend public libraries. 📚

Not to be all "I could only talk to my old man about the game"-emotionally stunted but isn't baseball fandom *for* having dumb fights with parents? My dad thinks they're not hitting this year because of the pitch clock. (Don't try to understand him here.)
