Buck just said this lineup is like the "ever ready bunny" lol you mean the "Energizer bunny"

Please re-sign Semien. This lineup, when healthy, is a gauntlet. They're doing this with Springer on one leg and without Biggio and Espinal.

I think they will. There is no way you let this guy walk and you offer what you need to (within reason)

I also think Semien is smart and sees that this team will be a POWERHOUSE for the next decade. If he loves winning, this is where you sign.

It seems like they were maybe kind of an "old person" battery because they were cheaper or something. For whatever reason it sticks in my head that my grandma always had them if I needed batteries when I was visiting her. They were red and had a cat on the logo. I have no idea why it's such a strong memory :laugh:

But why is he wrong? Why is Ohtani a lock for mvp? Look at how many categories Vlad leads the AL in. Vlad is right back in it, Ohtani is no longer a lock.

It's not that he's not a lock, it's that he's dismissing Ohtani's accomplishments with stupid arguments like "but the Angels aren't any good, so what he's doing doesn't matter" and treating "well he's doing something we've never seen before" as if it means "well he's doing something we've never seen before to a mediocre level."

You want to argue that Guerrero's offensive dominance is superior to Ohtani's all-around impact, I wouldn't be against if the case made is solid. But Buck's approach is kind of like "well, Ohtani's season is quirky but it's not good enough" combined with "his team sucks so who cares what the player does"

*sigh* Why won't they rest Springer? I get why they would want to use him against the Rays, but the Twins? Come on. And it's not like they don't have anyone who can replace him.

A better question is, does Nemesis have a crush on Buck? He can't stop talking about him. :P

Giants have a need, play in his hometown, and have a relatively easier path to the postseason.

I can’t imagine him going to some team like the Yankees though unless they drastically overpay.
