The Void: 2023-24

What Dave Roberts? What if they fire him because he pulls Ohtani while throwing a perfect game in a 1-0 Game 7?

Iā€™m on the other side of the country and have very little knowledge of what is going on in Houston but. . .

Someone just posted on another site that the Chronicle hired an Astros hater to be their beat writer?

Can someone confirm or deny or give context?

Why does this feel like deja vu all over again? Didnā€™t this already happen with someone else they Astros hired?

Oh to have been a fly on the wall for that part of the negotiation.

If he opts out, would he forfeit the deferred payments? Or only a portion of them not yet ā€œearnedā€?

Heā€™d forfeit the portion not yet earned. Same as if he quit or retired before his 10 years of obliged service are up.

What the hell is a ā€œsports culture reporterā€?

Reddit pointed out last night that the Houston Chronicle and Chron.com are not the same operation. Still, what a bizarre choice for both sides.

Keep track of how often a ballplayer spits and adjusts their cup during an average 9-inning game?

Vann is being roasted on her social media and thereā€™s a statement from her addressing prior comments for which she professes a desired redo. Her resume seems commonplace, so why was she hired specifically???

ā€¦ ok

Over the line.

A lot of effort to lose in the NLDS again

Heā€™ll fit right in with their tradition of pitchers getting injured.

Flaherty apparently signing a short (one or two years, details still unclear) deal with Detroit.

The Rangersā€™ rotation is getting paper thin. Maybe injuries make it hard to repeat.

My most hated team. Dodgers

I had to do a mental double-take to understand what you meant. Thatā€™s how meaningless the Rangers WS victory to me is. I didnā€™t even remember it was a thing.
