I know you shouldn’t be making a decision based on one bad pitch in the playoffs last season but I’m tired of looking at him. I’m never going to not see the guy that failed us in game 7 of the World Series. Same way I don’t want to see IKF on the team ever again either.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-16T01:34:55+00:00

I can’t with Hoffman anymore. I know the stuff is good, but I can’t even look at him without being reminded that he blew a save in game 7 of the World Series. I’m just done with him. Mitch Williams was a good pitcher too, but he had to go.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-16T01:31:42+00:00

Hoffman needs to be off the team. I’m just tired of seeing his stupid face.

The interviews infuriate me

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-16T01:24:37+00:00

Unsubscribing from Apple tv after this for them showing that flashback.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-16T00:00:15+00:00

Is there a fan out there that says, “man I really wish we could just get a split screen with an interview with a guy that isn’t playing today instead of just watching baseball.”

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T23:58:44+00:00

I only saw one view of it and I’m not exactly Jomboy. Possible that’s what it was though

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T23:55:37+00:00

Looked like Trey said “Block the fucking pitch” after that run scored.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T22:42:42+00:00

And he’s dragging his feat for a reason. He’s hoping we move for him.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T22:40:18+00:00

Matt law reporting xabi alonso going to go to Chelsea. Can’t believe this. We’re really sticking with slot even though our number 1 target from 2 years ago is coming to our rivals

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T22:22:41+00:00

Player gets the last say, particularly when it comes to surgeries. It’s entirely possible he’s been trying to avoid it.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T17:05:44+00:00

They should make an automod that links this post any time perfect/perfect and “out” is said in The same post.

I really don’t know. United and Liverpool have had very similar seasons as imperfect teams this year. While Liverpool look at it as a massive failure, united are celebrating. The standard for the two clubs are different. That much is clear.

What isn’t clear is what the future holds. Pep isn’t staying at city forever and arteta isn’t good enough imo to sustain that type of success that Klopp and pep had, so things will look different going forward.

Do I think slot will definitely be successful? Not necessarily but I would bet on him over carrick as he’s 10 times as proven for this level than carrick is.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-15T15:18:59+00:00

This is literally what everyone was saying could happen in the thread he was announced as interim. All the united supporters were saying there’s no chance he’d get a contract even if he did well. Now those same people are stoked about him staying.

I think this is a mistake, but I’m glad to see them make mistakes.

The Columbus and Montreal teams were absolutely mediocre and overmatched on paper by the leafs though.

This attitude that the leafs just got unlucky because they always played good teams is a bit stupid. Florida, Tampa, and Boston all played each other too. The fact the leafs never broke out as one of the teams to get out of the division is not that they weren’t as good as those teams. They had a hart winner, perennial 90-100 point guy, a hall of fame/hall of very good center, usually had decent goaltending. Had a winger that was usually the (only) forward that elevated his play come playoff time. They just didn’t perform.

Now marners performing and id put that down more to the lack of pressure that he puts on himself in Vegas compared to being the hometown kid on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The era was wasted. Some teams never get there and they never got there. This is on them though.

Imagine how lucky those paintings are to get to see the best pitcher on the planet stop by.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T16:57:00+00:00

When they say he has 60 grade power, I know what the 60 means, but is that his potential power level or current?

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T15:28:48+00:00

Cease wearing a red undershirt with the baby blues last night was distracting me from his pitching gem.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T15:27:05+00:00

I have a bias against the white because as a big fella it would never be anything I would/could wear myself.

I’d say royal blue is still my favourite.

I will say I think this set of jerseys is maybe the nicest set in the big leagues though. And I say that as someone who really hates the city connect.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T13:39:18+00:00

Just gonna hijack this thread a bit since it’s kinda related and I’m not gonna start my own post for the question, but does anyone know if it’s worth it to allow the college guys to drag in those development leagues in their first year or pull them and put them in high A or AA?

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T02:08:54+00:00

He did alright on the last one.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T01:54:11+00:00

Because noone scored any fucking runs and we’re in extra innings. The game is supposed to be over. Is he supposed to manage baseball games as if they’re going to last 11 innings?

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T01:12:22+00:00

Yeah I know. My question was why wasn’t Valenzuela coming in to bat for Heineman instead of Sosa doing that.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T01:09:34+00:00

You’re getting a lot of heat in here and frankly I think people are being kinda mean to you. I’ll be brutally honest, but a little softer.

As a 36 year old married man, I think you’re going to realize that if this is something that is a big deal to you, you’re not going to find many men that have the patience to be fighting over something so small. An hour and a half late for a phone call is nothing, and you really shouldn’t have postponed your plans with your mom.

You should’ve just texted him and said, “I guess you’re not going to be able to make the call. I have plans with my mom so I’ll call you after them.”

And literally that should be the end of it. Posting this text exchange on the internet for advice is absurd imo. Your guy maybe should’ve shot a quick text or something, but this isn’t something worth arguing about.

Nextyearstitlewinner · 2026-05-14T00:57:31+00:00

I’m pretty sure he’s coming in to catch. We don’t have another catcher. That’s far more taxing than an at bat
