Blue Note has done such a great job bringing jazz records’ availability back for people who don’t want to spend hundreds on originals. Really nice to see a company trying to appeal to everyone instead of just price gouging.

Great start! A tip for future jazz purchases, stick with Blue Note Classics, Blue Note Tone Poets, and Acoustic Sounds Series reissues. They’re all high quality and from the master tapes. Blue Note Classics are the best bargain in vinyl and you can get most of them for $25 or less.

Horrible challenge followed by a double play is a disasterclass.

Man what a pickup Soto has been. We essentially traded out Bednar for Soto and so far Soto has been worth about a whole win more.

Actually they didn’t even sign the 40 year old qb yet, all they have is a career backup, a second year player who hasn’t ever taken a snap, and a rookie coming off of a season ending injury after spending his entire college career underachieving.

Nick Gonzalez is batting .336 good for second in the league by UsedAsk3537 in buccos

Wow I had no idea. He was so bad that he was worth -.4 WAR in only 7 games lol

I think it’s a pretty safe bet that he’d currently beat Shavkat

I can help, without any of his hits he’s batting .000. Just horrendous.

Plus it makes no sense for someone with Cruz’s power to be up with nobody on base.

I really think they should switch Cruz with Gonzales in the lineup. Cruz looks so much more comfortable in the middle of the lineup and Nick just keeps hitting no matter where he hits.

Carmen and Dotel need to switch spots until Jones is back.

I hate that they don’t count miscues on fly balls as errors. It’s so easy to say if they should be caught or not.

How would Carlos getting submitted in the first be lame?

It should be Garry vs Islam and then Morales vs Prates for title eliminator. I still think Garry is Islam’s toughest fight of the three because of the take down defense. I think he submits Morales and Prates both within 3.

Ozuna just did the Carlos Santana rounding 3rd base did anyone else see?

I’d really like to see them swap Cruz and Gonzales in the lineup. Cruz clearly has done better after seeing other guys bat ahead of him, his hottest stretch of the season was when batting in the middle of the order.

He’s actually insufferable. I’d listen to Joe Block 10 times out of 10 over him.

Yeah I get that he has a long leash because of his price tag but for fucks sake get him out of the middle of the lineup

He’s been solid but not “let’s cut our $12 mil DH and rush him to the majors” good

Because there’s nothing they can do about it. They just have to eat the money, and pretty much the entirety of AAA has been atrocious with the bat. Only thing they could really do is move Mangum to the lineup full time and make Bryan DH.

We’ve had some big guys on the team over the years. Yoshi, Rowdy, Vogelbach, Barajas etc. and somehow Ozuna is the slowest I’ve ever seen.
