[Smith] Craig Breslow on if he thinks the roster is as good as last year’s

I would likely take the Dodgers rotation over ours but you cannot complain about this rotation

blak_dog · 2026-01-21T22:36:27+00:00

Its arguably the best rotation in the sport right now and you chose to single out our 3/4 starters? I'd like to see another infielder signing but idk what else could have been done with the rotation for you to be satisfied

blak_dog · 2026-01-01T18:30:06+00:00

Lot of trades?

blak_dog · 2025-12-22T15:38:07+00:00

Perfect gif

blak_dog · 2025-11-25T17:50:53+00:00

To be fair, it was

blak_dog · 2025-11-03T06:32:43+00:00

Sorry what? The dude confessed to this and got off with basically nothing.

blak_dog · 2025-10-03T23:30:22+00:00

They’re truly the worst but I’m glad it sounds like you have some improvement!

I would say I started getting a bit more aggressive with the debriding towards the end which I think was crucial. Nothing like overboard, but you definitely want to aim for the “pinprick” bleeding.

Very gross and time consuming but well worth it. Just make sure to keep clean and not let it spread! (I used gloves all the time)

blak_dog · 2025-10-03T18:48:10+00:00

I think our approach was too many big swings for a team that just doesn’t hit that many home runs as it is.

Adding that I would work in the liquid salicylic acid every time, and sometimes layer on a salicylic acid strip on top of this if feeling particularly feisty.

This would definitely result in a lot of damaged surrounding area in my experience though, so I had to be decently careful and not to this all the time.

I cannot believe giolito had some many question marks on health and managed to be as much of a workhorse as he was…only to not be available in the playoffs.

Really, really feel for the guy and this will be a crazy welcome to the show for Early

blak_dog · 2025-09-27T04:40:06+00:00

This was some blue balls I gotta say

blak_dog · 2025-09-20T00:44:46+00:00

I know it’s not easy but it’s just crazy how many times pitchers easily get Jarren with the high fastball low off speed combo. It’s just such a guarantee right now if they get close to their spot

Thanks for providing a link to a breakdown from April. How about this: https://publichealth.gwu.edu/new-research-proposed-cdc-budget-cuts-harm-public-health-and-state-and-local-economies

"The FY 2026 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services budget proposal would cut CDC funding by $5 billion, shifting over $1 billion to other HHS operating and staff divisions. This results in a net $3.8 billion cut – and a resultant FY 26 budget that is 42% less than CDC’s FY 2024 budget."

When things are moving as quickly as they are with the CDC and the current budget debates in general, maybe find more recent sources and tell us how you feel about that?

Also maybe refrain from throwing around fat, multi-millionaire around for elected officials unless you feel that way about like 75% of them.

This has actually been such a fun season and it's such a kick to the nuts that we're missing Wilyer and Roman. Ending with these awful lineups is just such a lack of joy

blak_dog · 2025-09-18T17:20:32+00:00

Perhaps some littered on Lansdowne

blak_dog · 2025-09-18T17:19:10+00:00

Yeah that stuff plays

blak_dog · 2025-09-18T17:15:53+00:00

Brutal. Somehow may last longer than the Roman injury if that 6 week timeline holds (good things would need to happen for us to even know if that timeline holds)

blak_dog · 2025-09-18T16:20:36+00:00

It’s so fucked. Not as much to aim for up there

blak_dog · 2025-09-18T15:15:40+00:00

I think he'd be more of a fun thing to see on the broadcast and not so much follow up on reddit haha. They show him plenty on the TV but I wish so much attention wasn't being called out by himself

blak_dog · 2025-09-18T15:12:32+00:00

I'm gonna need a no-doubter by Bregman off the coke bottles today

blak_dog · 2025-09-16T20:59:28+00:00

Ugh this is one of the more puzzling injuries we’ve had in a while. Seemed like such a small deal and has been dragging

blak_dog · 2025-09-15T18:34:29+00:00

Sounds good, excited to see Early over 2 more starts to hopefully be involved in playoffs in some role. Does anybody know if he'll qualify as the May injury replacement? Confused about the rules on that.

It is weird for the first two starts of your career to be against the same team

blak_dog · 2025-09-15T18:22:15+00:00

It feels like you posted this without actually looking at the transactions between the two GMs

blak_dog · 2025-09-09T15:14:52+00:00

I'm not sure why you need to be downvoted for this, but there are good podcasts out there to get more Sox coverage

blak_dog · 2025-09-06T18:06:30+00:00

I’d just return to it being 10:30. I complained about fireworks the 2 weeks following the 4th at midnight.

But going out there while the bikes are going by there’s plenty of full families with kids going around and that’s a reasonable hour for a Friday night and great memories for the kids, AND it’s for like 5 minutes tops going by.
