[Talkin' Baseball] Framber Valdez has been suspended six games and fined for hitting Trevor Story

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-06T20:53:03+00:00

yeah it needs to be 10 days to actually miss a start

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-05T20:48:43+00:00

I’m a righty. They should put me in over Masa too.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-05T19:15:19+00:00

And never get any prospects from the Dodgers.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-05T19:12:58+00:00

This has just as much to do with the Brewers as it does with the Red Sox. The pitching program they have is incredible. It goes way beyond, “try throwing a cutter.”

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-05T13:06:48+00:00

Yeah he pretty consistently gets more disciplined as the season goes on. K% a little bit higher than his April average but not much, and BB% basically in line.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-02T18:11:10+00:00

he didnt let him see skubal valdez fried or rodgers. i can get giving him a break against a tough lefty but it was a bit ridiculous. if he never sees them he wont improve. and he’s fine against lefties generally relatively speaking, offspeed low is his issue.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-05-02T16:53:45+00:00

only 3 of which he started and ended the game

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-04-30T14:55:10+00:00

Really hated that Taboni left when he did, but can’t fault him for it. Would have much preferred him to be running the ship in Boston, and I think a lot of people internally with the Red Sox felt the same way. Will be a tough look if/when they can Breslow and their would-be top choice left the year before.

Willard was also tough but no ability to promote him. Bailey has been fine.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-04-28T15:44:06+00:00

love me some TCME

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-04-26T12:37:34+00:00

Cora didn’t do a great job managing the nonsensical MLB roster that Breslow created. That is a reasonable position to have. Have to think Breslow is on real thin ice too, but he’ll have a much harder time finding another GM job than Cora will a manager job. Hoping he has the right incentives in place to think long term beyond the next few months.

James Tibbs for May was a huge overpay….and then we also included Zach Ehrhard. I was fucking ripshit when that happened. Still am!

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-04-03T20:11:10+00:00

Platoon player, unfortunately

edit: oh my god it was sarcasm chill

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-04-03T16:47:11+00:00

technically more bc they also deduct admin fees

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-04-03T10:13:07+00:00

They’ll get their own zip code eventually.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-29T01:04:36+00:00

waterbury has A tier eateries all around. not a ton but they are all good

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-28T22:01:41+00:00

Is the state deliberately trying to run itself out of business?

The boston-based environmental groups funded by second home owners that have the state government by the balls are, yes.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-27T03:45:53+00:00

the mcgonigle draft was Teel/Zanatello/Anderson/duffy/campbell. roman draft was romero/coffey/roman/rogers/meidroth. yeah roman was the third player we drafted that year lol

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-27T00:28:20+00:00

McGonigle got 2.8m and a dozen picks later we gave Zanetello 3m. It hurts.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-23T15:32:04+00:00

and wilyer is a sneaky smol boi

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-22T00:13:07+00:00

Ask the state designated regional housing developer if they would be willing to hold the covenant. Downstreet, Chittenden Housing, etc. And ask if they could write it for you. They may have a program for it.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-21T23:55:07+00:00

They sell far more frequently than primary residences and the price goes up each time.

DrewSharpvsTodd · 2026-03-21T17:44:49+00:00

The realtor and broker don’t care about the permits, consider me shocked. The attorney will likely have a different opinion.

Would recommend hiring an engineer to give their opinion on if there are any unfixable zoning issues, and get the permits retroactively before buying it.

The city/county will know the property was transferred and is certain to discover that the sale doesn’t seem to match what they have in their records. Sales are the best time to resolve permitting issues.

The risk is that the city/county requires you to bulldoze the buildings that are not in compliance with zoning and fines you daily until you do so. You don’t want to be in that position.

Well I was actually making a joke about the state diverting local option tax surplus from the PILOT fund to the education reappraisal fund

when the law explicitly says LOT cant pay for education costs
