  1. Thank you. This summarizes my feelings towards a CBO/GM who had 9 years to build a winner. He didn't yet remained around to blow up a yacht that failed to sail. Good thing he doesn't live in North Korea.
  2. "The Angels have released first baseman and outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr....Wade performed even worse in Anaheim than he had been in San Francisco, posting a brutal 38 wRC+ as his plate discipline left him. He struck out in 31.5% of his 73 plate appearances with the Angels and walked at just an 8.5% clip." https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/08/angels-release-lamonte-wade-jr.html
  3. Your air is too clean. We are hazed in again thanks to wildfires.
  4. Perk offers good insight: "Maybe Sands won't be closer but will be used wherever the meat of the batting order appears."
  5. Uecker often had a lot of dead air time. Atteberry has never met air time that didn't need to be filled.
  6. Willi had become my favorite Twin. Hate to think I need to root for the Cubs now.
  7. He sounds like a soft Tom Hamilton of the Guards.
  8. Perk, "Now we can see if Wally..." Wallner is now Wally?
  9. "We said no to. a lot of things..." Derek Falvey, radio. Reallllllllllllllly?
  10. I don't care for Falvey at all. He has had 8 (?) years to build the club and he did not succeed. But in his defense, it is clear he had his marching orders from the CEO's desk.
  11. Baldelli's interview was on 'CCO. "Exciting ...time." Whole interview was company line. Having heard Falvey, could hear the rehearsal. In his defense, he spent the day at the hotel saying goodbye and thanking traded players; reassuring remaining staff.
  12. I asked the boards a couple of weeks ago if Lee could handle SS. Got a resounding, "no." Doesn't have the range. Oh well.
  13. While I won't be watching (radio man), it would be a unique study in sports management to see how Baldelli speaks to the clubhouse and who emerges as a leader. Love Buxton in CF but I don't see him as a leader. I had wished that Vazquez would be sent packing like the lead sinkers in my tackle box. No other veterans have the charisma of a Correa. A couple of 30+ yr olds, with retread tires, but then we are looking at Funderburk as a wise sage, all of 29.
