You don't think Boris could win a marginal one? He's basically their Farage at this point

LOL, bloke hasn't missed a beat

What was that tweet I saw a couple of years ago, something along the lines of "paying people just for the sake of having opinions, whatever they are, might not be such a good idea"

On 24.5 - I'd take under. I think he'll do very well to get to 20

To be fair all they need to say is "this was before the Tories let x million of people in during the last parliament"

Oh yeah, I think if this was a few years ago he'd be right at it, just not following as closely as I used to and had thought he'd basically just switched to playing franchise stuff everywhere. Good to see him back

Ah thanks

I've not been paying that much attention Dan, do we know why he's playing? Just because he's available/under contract or is there some bigger reason?

Has that "t20 finals day" vibe as well, the kind of thing you only get in England

Yeah I was thinking the same earlier. Rare you can watch a game of football and look at (probably) every player and think "this is the biggest game you'll ever play in"

There's a reason Americans coat their meat with seasoning, it needs it.

Why does the first sentence have no relation to the second?

I'd genuinely push to bat him behind Verdugo, though
comment in response to
post
Do you think they're likely to be so pitcher heavy in the draft again this year? Wondered if their lack of offensive depth might make them rethink a little?

And there was me going "where is Verdugo?" 😂

It gets AJSS back on the roster, hopefully, which is a minor win

Ahh, you just illuded to it on the pod!

That's a clear false start though

Don't think you can bat Ozuna that low. I'd be tempted to lead-off with him, as stupid as it sounds

When you said MVP level bat back you meant Sean Murphy, right?!

Is it possible this offense is just less than the sum of its parts? Or does a healthy Acuna patch it up?

They were 5-1 up when I woke up briefly at 4:30am!

Is it too early in the season to find this funny?

This - but everyday.
The real crime is tomorrow, though.

What about an opening day double no-hitter with Sandy too?

How many trades have the Braves and Angels done in the past few years? Feels like a lot
comment in response to
post
Quite, although I think Kelenic needs to hit anyway!
comment in response to
post
A reason I think they might move on from him after the season is done. Got a funny feeling Acuna might be the regular DH in the next couple of years
comment in response to
post
Yeah I wasn't sure if putting Soler out there last year was "Ozuna is even worse" or "we're just protecting our best bat"?
comment in response to
post
Yeah I think the review was just reviewing who the hitter was
comment in response to

Baldwin hasn't had a single MLB plate appearance yet. I think we might need to pump the brakes a bit.
I honestly think if Baldwin hits as well as he might they might just let Ozuna leave (which he may well, anyway) and just use him as a C/DH with Murphy as the main catcher

They're also just not going to trade a guy who's signed a long term deal
comment in response to

They could also send him back down once Murphy is back if they want to.

Yeah, let's not do politics but can confirm, it's coming across exactly as badly as you expect!

How good is the Alvarez bat do we think? Know he struggled in a short sample but any reasonable comps?
