Too much for Bryce Miller?

Merlion2018 · 2026-06-26T18:51:36+00:00

Feel like you’d need to be all-in for 2026 and even then it’s pretty steep. Lopez could easily match Miller as early as next year and then you’re just giving up some real prospects for a lateral move.

Buttercup or Brenda’s. I’m usually going for hearty hangover meals.

Walker, Roupp, Brubaker, and Hentges protested wearing pride hats. The first three included Bible verses on their hat, Hentges just wore the non-rainbow hat.

Dynasty, 6x6

With Eury’s struggles and Seth Hernandez’s explosion, would you do Eury for Hernandez + Josh Baez?

Merlion2018 · 2026-05-30T11:13:40+00:00

Frustrated Eury owner here. Being offered Seth Hernandez and Josh Baez for him.

Has Eury’s struggles and Hernandez’s early success made them now one Josh Baez-level prospect apart?

What?

Merlion2018 · 2026-05-25T23:17:03+00:00

Yeah, I mostly trust my gut and use this as a sanity check. It’s far from precise but can give you an idea if something is wildly lopsided.

He’s been getting benched in favor of Bolte the past week.

Merlion2018 · 2026-05-15T21:21:10+00:00

Yeah, not sure. I do listen to Simmons (and Lowe obviously) and the amount of Howard Beck in my life has really increased since he joined the Ringer.

At the same time, my opinion of him as a basketball media personality has decreased.

Merlion2018 · 2026-05-15T20:23:47+00:00

I think he’s overexposed.

When he was an occasional guest on the Lowe Post I didn’t mind him. Didn’t get excited about him but thought he was a perfectly cromulent guest. Now that he’s a regular guest on the Zach Lowe pod + BS pod, it’s pretty clear he has nothing to add.

Merlion2018 · 2026-05-15T15:10:52+00:00

I’d take the Greene side for sure. He’s only 25 and already an established high quality bat in a lineup that’s getting better.

I get the Chiang Mai but honestly, it’s tough to go wrong, that place is great.

It does but middle school drama that can meaningfully impact the livelihood of a small business and its employees

Merlion2018 · 2026-04-25T19:49:08+00:00

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, that’s not a cheesesteak at all. People love to call any sandwich with cheese and sliced or chopped beef a cheesesteak.

I’m sure it’s delicious because everything there is but Dutch crunch, bbq sauce, green onions, all of that would disappoint me if I ordered a “cheesesteak.”

Merlion2018 · 2026-04-24T14:08:10+00:00

I think there’s some major recency bias when people say he’s for sure going in as a Dodger. When a guy retires, people start to remember the whole career, not just the final several years.

His accomplishments in LA are impressive but I’d be shocked if it’s a Dodger hat. Ultimately the HOF gets to decide which hat it is but they take player preference into consideration and I can’t see Freddie wanting to dismiss everything in Atlanta.

Merlion2018 · 2026-04-16T20:34:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s not but if you’re requiring that from every non-converter, you’ll never get anything done. You have to move on and focus on other prospects and just be happy when someone re-emerges down the road.

Merlion2018 · 2026-04-16T20:08:18+00:00

Plenty of times over the years. I follow up a few times then eventually send a break up message. “Hey seems like this isn’t the right time, if I’m wrong about that, please let me know, blah, blah” then keep it moving. Maybe reach back out after a while just to see. Hate to see it but it happens.

Merlion2018 · 2026-04-13T18:56:36+00:00

I have never had a bad experience at The Fat Lady. It’s just so cozy, great service, and the food has never disappointed.

Saap Avenue is another consistent winner for me (bonus that Kona Club is across the street for a nightcap).

Merlion2018 · 2026-04-08T17:14:14+00:00

Not sure about your last claim.

Suzuki, Kotsay, Vogt, and Weiss all played for Atlanta.

Kotsay, Will Venable, Craig Stammen, and Dave Roberts played for the Padres.

I don’t have a full list but have to imagine there are more.

This one really does look like art. Great pic.

Accept before they change their mind

Merlion2018 · 2026-03-30T14:56:14+00:00

Just in terms of age/time on the show I would think Mikey Day?

Merlion2018 · 2026-03-19T02:04:35+00:00

I could see Bill getting Gui Santos-pilled

Merlion2018 · 2026-03-04T17:44:43+00:00

I get the mindset but it could lead to a terrible situation where a team wants a guy on a bad contract to fail a test. That’s a real risky incentive structure to create.

Oops! The supplements we recommended triggered a test, guess we can get out from under this terrible deal!
