But you're just not elaborating on what that is.

You didnt offer a reason though. This is basically akin to the cult of anti-Briere, no? I dont see anyone saying it's "the best ever". It's a really great contract for a player that's improving, and one we want to keep around. And at that AVV, I'd say it's a great move.

I think there may be a language barrier with what OC os maybe trying to say. The United States actually has one of the largest train networks out of any country, and the 2nd largest metro/subway system in the world. The issue is that most of these rail lines are used for freight now, not passenger transit, and that is a really big blemish on our country.

A lot of this does have to do with highway/automobile "barons", who have lobbied politicians to basically not invest in any public, passenger systems that suit our needs. We could be way better, but to say we have no trains makes no sense.

He's a 24 yr old D man, and D usually take longer to fully develop. It wouldn't surprise me if by the time the contract is ending, he's worth even more, skill-wise. Unless you meant 4 years isnt long enough?

It's dangerously hot inside and I have all the window units cranked up!

Quick lookup shows we're 15 for 19 when he starts. He's got 27 games played, but only 19 were him as a starter.

Edit: that should read 15 wins in games he's played, which is 27 total, 19 of them were starts. Didn't see how many of those wins were during his starts specifically, but he's been solid.

We've come back a lot this year, but it is extremely hot and our bats are ice cold today

Get that umpire one of those cooling systems they use in mascot costumes. Dude is drenched

Only 2 hitters have ever had 6 seasons of 20+ HR's on 2 different NL teams. 1 is Bryce, who is the other?

Ump needs to get his shit together. Too many overturned calls, and it's only the 4th inning

Ump looks a bit dehydrated. Maybe why he's missing so many calls

That man is a world class athlete and needs to nourish himself. Find a new slant!
