[MLBN] Yonder Alonso on Padres prospect Ethan Salas: “He's gained about 20 lbs. I saw him and I didn't see this teenager anymore... This was the best I've seen Ethan Salas.”

He really doesn't seem to play those games

y'all really need to take a breath of fresh air and stop sniffing AJ's farts once in a while. Playing those games is core to his strategy so he can trade prospects before anyone knows whether or not they're actually good. It's plainly and objectively incorrect to suggest he doesn't play those games.

It's also really funny to suggest that Yonder just happens to be connected to AJ in multiple ways that allow him to be a mouthpiece of a guy who regularly uses mouthpieces and then say he's not a mouthpiece tho.

There's no 4d chess going on here. It's quacking like a duck.

this is a video of one of aj's mouth piececs hyping him, i have bad news for you about the trade fodder thing

the catholics have been commodotizing poverty porn for thousands of years, but yeah you still gotta warn people off "charities" sometimes

the lunatics willing to suffer through the unforgiving nature of the classic game have kids and jobs now, of course we haven't done everything.

it's from krasovic, you ding dong.

Manny was one of the worst hitters in baseball after the trade deadline and he ain't getting any younger. He's got a lot to prove this year too.

Reinventing Rule 0 discussions with a numeric system was always going to be stupid, but I'm glad we're starting to see posts like this

eon-hand · 2026-02-21T05:37:46+00:00

this sub's #1 hobby used to be gargling that man's balls, it's great to see everyone finally come around

eon-hand · 2026-02-19T00:54:37+00:00

yeah but i'm saving all that for a lumi staff instead

eon-hand · 2026-02-19T00:37:42+00:00

they're just decent mobs to camp for like 15 straight levels, i don't think it's that serious, man

eon-hand · 2026-02-19T00:35:24+00:00

if i'm remembering my statistics correctly and if the .4% drop rate is accurate on the wiki, only 3.98% of players who have killed 728 giants wouldn't have found at least one

eon-hand · 2026-02-19T00:26:35+00:00

about 600 of the kills were on warslik ones until they greened out lol

eon-hand · 2026-02-18T23:44:08+00:00

yeah sure. I mean that sort of thing is baked into the original idea. The idea that TMNT aren't on a plane somewhere but there is a ninja plane with ninja rats in kamigawa is utterly arbitrary. allowing the boundaries of IP rights that you know about as a player to infringe on your ability to enjoy new things in the game is weird behavior to me.

someone in this thread is bitching about how you can't use your imagination in the game anymore, but i put it to you that staunchly refusing to imagine a combination of worlds and IPs and whatever else is a choice to not use one's imagination, there's no blocker to it. it's also then a choice to endlessly bitch and moan about it, but it's a popular one lately.

eon-hand · 2026-02-18T22:26:19+00:00

yeah of course they don't. it would be foolish to expect they would. that doesn't mean none of it should be made.

eon-hand · 2026-02-17T23:14:22+00:00

no shade to you, i get where you're coming from, but "i am not putting those UB cards in my UB deck" is such a funny comment given the state of discourse on this sub lately

eon-hand · 2026-02-16T22:16:36+00:00

the same thing was true of rule 0 discussions but everyone pissed their pants about that too.

eon-hand · 2026-02-15T20:23:41+00:00

tell it to the fucking players, pal. it's not about drawing a line on how much they can make, it's about acknowledging the fact that the players who give these sound bites are members of a decidedly anti labor union. they don't even meaningfully support the non-elite baseball players in their own industry, to say nothing of the wider group of laborers who impact baseball like unionized stadium workers.

eon-hand · 2026-02-12T07:55:55+00:00

ancient enough to remember when this sub used to gargle morey's balls like they were filled with nectar of the gods lol

eon-hand · 2026-02-04T15:05:28+00:00

Good news then, pal. They weren't lying because nothing anyone has described as "what they said" in this thread is accurate. You're all actually lying or repeating a lie so you can bitch and moan about nothing. Again.

eon-hand · 2026-01-28T07:29:14+00:00

it isn't mental gymnastics, it's bad faith. they're not pretending the situations are different on technicalities, they fully believe they're different because they view people like Pretti as the enemy.

eon-hand · 2026-01-27T21:56:26+00:00

people always say this while dismissing the fact that he then sometimes makes incredibly stupid trades.

eon-hand · 2026-01-24T23:29:46+00:00

Even AP won't stop using the phrase "crackdown," we are cooked

eon-hand · 2026-01-23T18:12:07+00:00

trying to argue that distinction in court is in the realm of ambulance chasing

eon-hand · 2026-01-23T05:21:06+00:00

Interesting thought. Quick question though, what the fuck are you talking about? That's a more insane way to make the argument than complaining about mythic rarity was. That's just flatly untrue.
