SF transit take: -MUNI metro is what the red line should be -van ness brt is what mdot wants (ass) -the F streetcar that Dan Rodricks is salivating over is what MCB wants (ass, go downstairs and ride the muni- half the time for the same route) -BART is what people driving anyway say they want

offseason needs: 1. Ace (like every year of the Elias tenure except when he got Corbin burnes and Bradish got hurt, so instead opted not to have a # 2 starter) 2. Catcher (Basallo catching a max 80 games) 3. Left fielder 4. Mid rotation starter 5. Like 3-4 bullpen guys, at least one really good

The closers and set up guys on both the dodgers and rays were all dumped for nothing by mike Elias

Remembering that Mike Elias’ first move as GM was to trade Mike Yaztremski for garbage so he could play Dwight smith and Stevie Wilkerson for a couple hundred games

As Jim Smith (UMD athletic director/ former Braves exec) puts it, “we’ve gotta squeeze the middle” and figure out how to get the people buying average ticket prices to spend more

Duquette would bring up eyanson to replace Bradish and he’d be right

Cleveland’s a half game back of the white sox, so win tomorrow and you move a half game closer regardless of the other game

I haven’t been paying that close attention but seems like Mayo is playing a decent 3b now? Which means westburg or blaze is starting at 2B unless they teach Coby RF (and Holliday is now Jeremiah Jackson)

It would probably take Pete having a Freddie Freeman like uptick in his 30s to make the HoF (and he’s already behind bc he came up later) but i keep thinking about what to do with guys who are missing like, 5 war and 40 homers because of the covid season

I really didn’t know what we were getting with Pete and I though he was gonna be a better Mark Trumbo instead of a right handed Palmeiro

Reading an IG account going off about the gentrification that leftist bookstore Red Emma’s has wrought is “literal violence and death” and I think if you want to talk like that you should have to show credentials

Grant wolfram has never been good at the major league level. However the stats say he should be so he will continue to pitch in every high level situation

They’re calling him the worst bullpen manager of all time

Kittredge is a guy I’d considering leaving off a postseason roster, not elevate to closer

probably not that important tonight but Holliday swinging away (cause his dad is there?) is not great looking

Feels like we’ve lost a lot of games this year because the manager decided to take out a good hitter right before a rally or leave a bad pitcher in to give up some extra runs that made the difference

It’s cool to be 0.5 gb from a playoff spot, but trading away your players with the 2nd and 3rd highest team war the same before does not indicate that the GM has a real grasp of what’s going on

The team playing the opposite of how Mike Elias says they’re doing is a time honored tradition

“Adley wouldn’t resign here” remember where Mike Elias made him do a rehab assignment gauntlet through 3 levels of the minors to keep his service clock from starting too early?

It’s really infuriating to watch the GM repeatedly come out and tell you the team he built sucks and the odds are too low so they’re not worth increasing

Great copypasta here for cancelling your season ticket renewal:

Buy/sell probably makes sense on paper until you realize it means trading something valuable this year for like, 2 war spread out over 6 years

David Rubenstein pays millions of dollars to pose for selfies with the saga of liberties heroes. Even as he and his are actually the story’s bad guys—at the cutting edge of stopping any future advances in human liberty, dignity, and equal rights, clawing back those that already exist.
