Well, there goes the no-no for Berrios. Just hope he gets out of it.

Was hoping he could get the CGSO but that long break wasn’t the best and going to the bullpen is the right call.

If Gausman, Bassitt, Berrios, and Kikuchi can continue pitch as well as they have and Richards, Swanson, Pearson, and Romano out of the bullpen are also as solid as they have been, I'm confident this pitching staff will help us take a chunk out of that 10 game lead Tampa has. The defence is solid and a huge improvement over last season. The offence will be the wildcard. I just don't see the depth in the lineup at this time.

The problem isn't the Rays, it's the two teams in between. O's are legit and Yanks will eventually get healthy.

I’m glad Berrios was able to come back to form this year. It’s really too bad Manoah has fallen apart so badly because our starting pitching would be lights out if we had last years version of him

@The Nemesis I think you were the one who was also a big ass Transformers fan, did you get a chance to watch the new one yet? I know you and I were crazy about Beast wars XD

Not yet. I probably won't get to see it in theaters. Partially by choice (I got burned by the last few Bayverse movies after going to the theater to see them. I seriously would've walked out of Age of Extinction if I wasn't there with other people) and partially by circumstance (I have a lot going on in the next couple months that my chances to go to a theater for an afternoon/evening are basically nil.)

Because I know this is a baseball thread and there'll probably be a bunch of eye-rolling about a grown man talking about cartoons meant to sell toy robots to kids*, I'll put the rest of this in spoiler tags so it's easier to scroll past.

*to those people I will respectfully remind them that the famous CS Lewis quote everyone uses to push the idea of growing up and "putting away childish things." is actually about exactly the opposite: it's about telling people who criticize you for liking things that might seem childish or immature to shove it because you should be allowed to like what you like without judgement as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. And that the idea of needing to seem "grown up" through one's tastes and activities is more immature than just liking a so-called childish pursuit

yes, I do love Beast Wars. As I mentioned in that Transformers movie thread I've been on a TF forum doing a complete watch-through of every Transformers cartoon over the last couple of years (at a pace of about 4-5 episodes of as how per week. We crossed the 500 total episodes watched threshold a few months ago. This includes watching all the weird Japanese stuff that never aired on TV here, a pair of Beast Wars sequels/interquels among them. One of which is irredeemably awful.). We're currently up to Transformers Prime from 2010 and of the 13(ish) series that we've watched before now Beast Wars currently holds the #2 spot on my rankings behind only mid/late-2000s show Transformers Animated (that was partially cancelled because they wanted people to focus on the Bay movies.)

I will get to it, probably while having been spoiled on everything that happens in the movie before that point because that's how these things work. :laugh:

and yes, overall I am a massive Transformers nerd. Probably more than any other single thing in my weirdly eclectic list of tastes and interests. I have a huge shelf of Transformers figures above my desk. Normally it would include some Beast Wars stuff but I swapped that out a couple months ago for something different. all that I have out right now is Dragon Megatron and some alternate comics/toy-only characters based on Waspinator. Maybe I'll dig them out of their box in the next few days.

I do have a hybrid Transformes/Back to the Future Autobot DeLorean though. And an Autobot Ecto-1 crossover with Ghostbusters :laugh:

Keep in mind this thread is full of people like me who obsess over grown men hitting a ball with a stick while wearing pyjamas. You should be ok.
