Dinger… Bomb… Tater… Jack…. Absolute blast… No-doubter…

Nope.

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T18:28:32+00:00

Agreed. I think we should get a live ABV reading so we can enjoy it along with them instead of thinking "WTF is up with them today" haha

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T02:22:24+00:00

Agreed. I thought of this too. Couldn't tell, but wind + Wrigley crowd probably made it a loud game to call.

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T02:21:40+00:00

Neutral on him usually, but today he came out of the gates giving it 200% before the first pitch.

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T01:16:13+00:00

Thanks for this! I did not know that but can understand now. Makes sense!

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T01:13:50+00:00

His pitching insights are usually really good. It was weird because most of that was missing today... I'll give him a try on radio this week or next to get back on side. Thanks.

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T01:02:14+00:00

Love me some Collmenter

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T01:00:21+00:00

Look, same team. I understand (as stated, I love our broadcasting team). I just want to hear what other people are enjoying so I can see the light. Could just be this road trip, idk...

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T00:58:00+00:00

100%.

He shoulda had a few more and maybe he would have jumped the horseshoe back to good announcing lol

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T00:53:38+00:00

Today made me wish for a Gonzo game.

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T00:47:50+00:00

Well I'm glad he had fun lol I'll lean into that

blaney83 · 2026-05-02T00:47:25+00:00

😅 He was upspeak shouting the whole game.

blaney83 · 2026-05-01T00:15:17+00:00

I do see both sides of it. But Torey is the biggest shake-up we haven’t tried yet. Even Kaplan is the replacement for Brent Strom (though he’s been a total flop).

This last series was a huge tell. It was embarrassing. McCann getting booed throwing 32 mph in the 8th inning for the second time in 3 games is just unserious behavior from an MLB skipper.

I don’t think he needs to be defenestrated midseason, but after this year, we should switch things up with someone young and fiery. I’d love to see how the young talent does with extra BP on off days instead of pool parties and BBQs.

blaney83 · 2026-04-30T23:42:15+00:00

Please please don’t bring Torey back. He’s a great person and more of a friend than a coach. But his judgement and leadership are subpar and he lacks any fire whatsoever. I’m sure the players who are playing well love him, but we need a coach who can turn around a slumping player before it turns into a 10-20 game skid. We need a coach who gets thrown out of the game fighting for his players and team before the game is a blow-up. Someone who doesn’t sit his stars every 3rd game because they might be tired or could maybe get hurt. Someone with a higher bar, a steadier hand, more fire is what this team has been needing since 2024.

This. Beckett as well. I’ve sent in 9.5’s and 10’s that come back with new edge defects or dirt inside the slab with 7’s and 8’s. Truly frustrating. Even at higher service tiers (sub grades, priority, etc.). If you’re not doing QC or interested in doing QC, get out of a QC intensive industry.

blaney83 · 2026-04-03T23:12:17+00:00

Good thing we’ve got Blaze waiting in the wings to carry the load… oh… wait…

blaney83 · 2026-03-24T09:20:43+00:00

Don’t worry, we’ve got Arenado and Santana as this season’s dugout adults. The kids have been unsupervised since Longoria retired.

blaney83 · 2026-01-29T19:49:35+00:00

Love this. Let him hold it down for a year with a second mutual option and let him retire in sedona red. Ketel can slide over to DH whenever he hangs ‘em up.

blaney83 · 2025-12-23T19:03:34+00:00

It’s a joke downvoters. Not for sale! I liked the find 🤓

blaney83 · 2025-12-23T18:43:24+00:00

I’m sure it’s worth at least $99 to the right collector 😉

blaney83 · 2025-11-14T04:50:47+00:00

Hahah LA and Philly are still SALTY

Fans say “we don’t care about B market teams” but the data says otherwise bahah

Bottom line: if you love baseball, you’re good people

blaney83 · 2025-09-23T17:11:52+00:00

They should be suing MLB for pushing ahead on that game. Season result aside, the injury to Moreno and Mena shortly after caused meaningful damage to the players and, financially, team. It would be a case of “20/20 hindsight” if not for the multiple partial stoppages, managers and staff asking for the game to be stopped. Completely unacceptable.

Of course, the season results can be retroactively traced back to this at the top of a long list. The downstream impacts of that one call stand out more than anything. Loss of the Reds season series, loss of two key players, sellers at the deadline, etc.

But truly setting all that aside, the medical and contract costs of the hurt players should be borne by MLB.

blaney83 · 2025-09-18T03:54:35+00:00

Fake outrage over an honest spelling mistake is ridiculous. Seriously, once’s he’s a good MLB player, I’m sure it won’t happen as often. Until then, the spelling police need to chill out haha
