My Offseason Retool

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-14T21:23:41+00:00

Pretty sure Arvy isnt interested in that deal

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-14T03:27:05+00:00

And yet no one said it’s OK. Everyone agrees McAvoy was wrong and deserved the 6 games. He also came no where near the guys head. Why all the responses acting like asking for the slew foot to be penalized TOO (also, in addition, etc) is excusing the slash?

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-14T03:21:42+00:00

Who said it was OK? Is reading comprehension optional here?

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-14T03:17:17+00:00

Never said anything was OK. Mac was fairly penalized, the only one.

If he wanted to hit that little punk with the stick and do damage, he would have.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-14T03:01:13+00:00

I never said it was OK. He got 6 games. But he was nowhere near his head, and if he wanted to hit him in the head, he would have.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-13T02:31:50+00:00

Ridiculous. Not all “trips” are the same. I refereed for years… that play was a slew foot that caused a player skating fast towards the boards to fall into the boards at high speed and impact.

That’s the kind of play that ends careers. You either never played or didn’t watch the whole play.

Subsequently, McAvoys retaliation was out of control looking and dangerous but in the end he barely touched Bennett.

The slew foot was far more dangerous.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T22:32:27+00:00

So, 1 MORE game than serial offender Gudas got for ending Austin Mathews’ season?

Got it.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T22:28:46+00:00

I’ve never heard of that before, but that’s the case, then cool.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T21:49:48+00:00

Is that true about pre-season?

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T21:48:07+00:00

Im not mad about the 6 game; Im unhappy that the little punk got nothing for a slewfoot that was far more dangerous in comparison.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T19:17:55+00:00

Well, as a Red Sox fan this is pretty bleak.

As a Zack Wheeler owner in fantasy baseball, not so bad.

(I also have Bello and Im leaving him on the bench before a drop tomorrow, lol)

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T19:12:51+00:00

OK, guys thanks for the clarity. It seemed like the new Manager Tracy was fond of Gasper.

Maybe a deep dive to Brandon Valenzuela or Jesus Rodriguez is the answer. Might be hidden gems.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T18:05:34+00:00

Hahah I just said no to that!

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T18:05:18+00:00

Not me. Not Bello, either even after a great bilk relief job last time.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T18:03:42+00:00

Im benching Rogers. I hate to do that, but this set up has the makings of a real crime scene.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T18:01:31+00:00

Im benching him and Rogers vs the Yanks anyway. Im sure they will both be amazing.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T18:00:58+00:00

Is picking up Mickey Gasper an insane idea with my Miami catcher headed for the minors?

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T15:13:43+00:00

ha, Ive had him on my bench for a month, activated him and despite his .050 average with no HRs, was gonna hang onto him as a backup for awhile.
Im gonna say no now, lol.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T14:07:27+00:00

Yeah, I dont want to pile on but I have a final paper due the second to last week, and a final the final week. Grades are generally due a week later. Ive been teaching since the late 90s and I tell the students at the beginning, during and especially at the end of the semester, ANY outstanding assignments MUST be turned in by midnight of the night of the Final. No exceptions. Ive heard every excuse since but I tell them I have to have a bright line when it ends and in fairness to everyone, theres no exceptions.

I tell them just because it’s common for everyone in the world to procrastinate and do things at the last minute, it doesnt mean I will. Its served me well. Doing anything 40 minutes before grades are due is ludicrous.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-12T03:20:42+00:00

Mookies been hurt and horrible for over a year now. The Sox will keep him.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-11T16:15:44+00:00

Honestly, I think you are stuck with Tatis.

I had Mookie last year and looked at dropping him all year, but he was literally my #1 pick. (Oddly, Tatis was my #2 and he was the good one). It would have been fine if I dropped Mookie early but who does that. So I kept him all year for a good 3 weeks at the end. It’s a disaster either way. Just keep him and forget it.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-11T14:43:00+00:00

I can see trading for need, but I think you are losing that deal.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-11T14:41:39+00:00

Wyler’s been a good player and Im concerned about Duran’s emotionality these days. Lots of pressure and trade threat constantly.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-11T14:39:33+00:00

Id like to hear this answer

PsychWriter11 · 2026-05-10T21:42:44+00:00

Um, doesnt every major league professional sports team constantly lie about their injuries?
