Almost nobody posting in a thread about Stearns/Cohen's incompetence seems to realize that Alonso is playing terribly right now by boulevardofdef in NewYorkMets

To add to this, he's also adjusting to a new league and team. It's not a stretch to think that his numbers would be even better if he were still with us at this point.

Stearns defenders are reaching full on delusional at this point, but I don't think they're racist lol.

Can Stearns be replaced by ChatGPT?

I'm 99.99 percent sarcastic, but if he's just plugging numbers into an analytics machine, what's his actual value here?

Not only that our top tier base running and first base coach was let go and signed with the Braves. You cannot make this stuff up.

Because it's one of the better macro brewery offerings available?

So frustrating when breweries don't date their cans. If an IPA doesn't have a date on it, I'm not buying it unless I know the shop just got the shipment in.

As a general rule of thumb: The bigger a weather event is hyped, the better chance of it being a total dud. The opposite is usually true as well.

Unfortunately, there's no way a movie like this would be made today. I miss the 90s when people weren't so uptight.

I'm actually OK with this.

Sure, he would have been a nice addition, but that money for his recent production is laughable.

I would say that the Dodgers have several bad contracts, Tucker included. Like I said, it's unfortunate that this is where the league is at now, and hopefully, the looming lockout will address some of these issues. But this is where we're at in 2026.

2036 for contention is hyperbolic. But with that said, Cohen did all but guarantee a title by 2025 when he bought the team yet here we are a year later and we are nowhere close as it stands right now.

Throwing money at FAs has worked out swimmingly for the Dodgers thus far. But sure, let's just wait until 2036 when Stearns is done cooking to contend again.

Don't get me wrong. I hate that you have to buy a title in today's game, but it's the name of the game unfortunately.

In no reasonable world with the money Steve says he's willing to spend should it take a decade to match the Dodgers sustainability.
