I'll be in the ATL Saturday night with my daughter to watch Framber torch the Braves! First time I've seen the Astros play on the road since 2007.

Saturday is the one we're going to as well. Maybe we'll cross paths.

LMAO at Max suggesting alcohol makes your hands stickier. That evaporates so fast.

Also, if the umps just ejected dudes on the spot without letting them wash hands first this would stop. How many pitchers every single day use rosin, get sweaty and don't get told to go wash their hands b/c it's not too sticky?

Going to be interesting to see the umpire crew for the ATL/HOU series. After the German and Scherzer incidents, I have a feeling MLB/Umps may make some sort of point of emphasis. If it's Phil Cuzzi and crew, I'm going to be interested to see how Framber's Saturday night start goes, especially if he's rolling.

When there was a crackdown his spin rate dropped and stayed down. His curveball spin (monthly avg) was 2900-3000 and now it's more like 2800 and even dipped below that one month. It did jump a little in the postseason though.

Appreciate it Farmer - that's really good to know.

I was specifically thinking about the WS when I made my comment.

Hart Hall B ramp.

I see these rooms now with AC window units and all I can think is "what a bunch of *******".

Here's the article:

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/36249041/mets-max-scherzer-suspended-10-games-appeal

Seems like they need to have more evidence than it feels more sticky than any other hand this season and it was stickier in the 4th than the 2nd to level a 10 game suspension.

In my opinion, they need to do an analysis on the glove to determine if there was more than rosin in there.

Walton '85 - '86

Hottest I've ever been in my life. Lived in Evans because it had air conditioning... not coincidentally, my best GPA ever (haha).

Scherzer, in response to the Astros cheating scandal during spring training of 2020:

"They crossed the moral line and cheated, but they got to answer to it," Scherzer said after throwing a 56-pitch bullpen session Thursday morning.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/02/13/nationals-first-day-spring-training-was-all-about-astros-sign-stealing/

It's a long way to the ground from a high horse Max.

That's a hard combo to beat.

Is this "in their prime" for each? The best of what those guys had, or the average of who they were overall? As an example, I always thought Mussina was a horse... like Jack Morris. They were very good pitchers when then didn't have their best stuff.

Yeah Oswalt is maybe the best value on the board and I think Kershaw is probably the worst.

I like Farmer's selection. I would just take Mussina over ZG.

Nothing against ZG, just as Marvin said -- Moose is a horse.

Also, all the pitchers in the $4 column are good, but not at that price imo.
