Wood or Abrams would have cost a LOT more. And Mead is a former top 30 prospect who has experience at 2B. Going the other way, Early’s Savant page looks not great. Suspect he’d be odd man out as soon as next spring with Bennett’s emergence and Eyanson’s rise.
Brazil responds by tapping Siddhartha Gautama to be the new gaffer
Now this is a strong team top-to-bottom... apart from Ron Hassey, who's just happy to be here. chasinbase.com/r/9rw8x9te
This isn’t my best team in terms of W/L, but I don’t think you can craft a better starting rotation. Give me 2010s Craig Kimbrel instead of Marmol, and I think it’s close to untouchable. chasinbase.com/r/w9r4ii6y
Topped it to retake sole control of the leaderboard chasinbase.com/r/uqgrgwuu
Currently the all-time leader on Chasing 117, with a team that is... yeah this is a good team. chasinbase.com/r/txhm6jg2
This team would not lose 2 games. It would not lose any games. Preposterous IMO.
So this is full Lakers entirely by accident, and yeah, it has 60s Wilt, but this is probably the most terrifying roster I've assembled top-to-bottom.
Many thanks to the legend himself @jaysonst.bsky.social for shouting me out in his Weird and Wild column (which is always a must-read) www.nytimes.com/athletic/731...
And this is fake Bruce Forsyth (actually Kikini Bamalam, daughter of the Nigerian ambassador) on Toast of London (yes it’s weird, and no I won’t explain)
lol I blocked this person 13 days ago, and 9 days ago they added me to their curated “MAGA/bigot” blocklist. I guess anyone who doesn’t care to hear from them belongs on that list
Wetherholt should never have swung at that pitch, no idea how he made that work. It was wayyyyyy outside.
It remains surreal to me that I get to do this for a living and have my name in the credits alongside so many talented colleagues. Hope everyone enjoys MLB The Show 26; we all pour our love and efforts into it every single day.
