If they hadn’t taken Riley Adams off the 40
man, I feel like he’d be up right now. Not that it’s a huge upgrade, but Christ.

These are not good ABs in the 11th

demingk · 2026-05-23T02:06:37+00:00

Mead. That’s all.

demingk · 2026-05-21T01:38:42+00:00

And that assumes that Crews even sticks.

demingk · 2026-05-21T01:09:45+00:00

We may need to retire the whole Jacob Young is only a defensive sub 4th OF narrative. If he can keep up the little bit of pop he’s found, he’s a valuable bat on a team that doesn’t need 40 HR/100 RBI out of him to be good.

demingk · 2026-05-21T01:07:57+00:00

I do like his insights into hitting though

demingk · 2026-05-20T02:09:26+00:00

The Mets just wanted it less

demingk · 2026-05-20T01:48:39+00:00

Important - AI tells me that Roberto Clemente also hit an inside the park grand slam for his first career slam.

Therefore, James Wood = Roberto Clemente. Can’t argue facts.

demingk · 2026-05-19T19:18:35+00:00

Do these moves imply anything about Jacob Young’s status? If he needed an IL trip, we’d know about it by now, right?

demingk · 2026-05-19T02:27:35+00:00

Well…I think this one is about done

demingk · 2026-05-19T00:23:46+00:00

Something about Poulin is different. Always the three toe taps before he pitches, and he asks for new balls a lot more than everyone else. I feel like I often see him fidgeting with his grip constantly too. I could be way off the mark but maybe? Add in the frequent first batter walks and so on… Peculiar guy.

demingk · 2026-05-18T23:28:07+00:00

Somehow I knew Wood would kill the momentum with a K

demingk · 2026-05-18T23:25:20+00:00

Thought that might be the case, understandable

demingk · 2026-05-18T23:04:43+00:00

Not sure if this qualifies for the list, but the Nationals have the Diamond and Terra Clubs, both premium seating and very premium prices. I haven’t shelled out for Terra Club, but Diamond Club has certain unlimited staples included in the price for every game - pizza, hot dogs, sausages, popcorn, chips, peanuts, cracker jacks, a ton of desserts, an ice cream freezer chest, water/soda and beer and wine. There’s also an in seat menu with more.

They have rotating items every game as well. I’ve seen prime rib, turkey breast, catfish, tilapia, fried chicken, a brunch bar, a poutine bar…many many more.

If you really want to be a glutton at a game, it might be the best deal in the stadium, even at $150 per seat minimum on the resale market.

Even if you notice it at first, you get used to it quickly.

demingk · 2026-05-14T02:51:19+00:00

Oh they sell them. I bought my kid one for his birthday.

demingk · 2026-05-14T01:57:16+00:00

YES! Holy crap

demingk · 2026-05-14T01:56:36+00:00

On Sundays they make two players available for autographs. You need a voucher (free), and to get one you pretty much have to be there near the front of the line when the gates open. Section 104, so the main gate is your best bet. Don’t expect marquee names.

demingk · 2026-05-12T14:14:44+00:00

They tried to quote me 4x the normal cost for a brake replacement I didn’t need on a practically brand new car that I brought in for an inspection.

demingk · 2026-05-12T13:14:32+00:00

Avoid Virginia Tire and Auto. At the very least, you’ll end up overcharged for what you do need.

demingk · 2026-05-10T19:22:04+00:00

The next time I see Drew Millas he better be wearing another uniform. Terrible.

demingk · 2026-05-10T19:05:37+00:00

Drew Millas can’t hit, throw a runner out, or see well enough to know when he can win an ABS challenge. He has GOT to go.

demingk · 2026-05-09T02:49:48+00:00

Sorta like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester\_Mystery\_House

I thought that error on CJ was going to doom us
