"James Wood hit two runs, but you know who wouldn't be excited about that? Brewers fans. They don't have threads following Jackson Chourio having a big game. That's because Matt Arnold is all about winning. He took over in 2022 and made a half dozen trades instead of not admitting mistakes, like Rizzo. The Brewers have  culture of winning, not a culture of losing, and Rizzo just distracts people from his own failures by pointing at James Wood. The Brewers fans are enjoying their fourth straight losing seasons while we just post about James Wood hitting home runs in a lost season."

Full disclosure, IanRubbish did recently make an appearance in the Sunshine Squad thread to hail James Wood.
we haven't done an "Impersonate another member" thread or GDT in a while. That's because LAC.

Even if I had to edit my post on the last sentence, I am proud of my work here. I think we need an impersonate thread with current and past users eligible. Great threads.

On top of the IanRubbish impersonation,  I suppose the edit job mirrors far too many of my posts. Good 2'fer.

What's the bar for cheering for good things happening?

I think it's down to impersonating my posts.

I'll try to be creative to keep things entertaining here.  Just like Carly Rae Jepsen, Flo Rida, and R2D2, someone has to do something to keep Nats fans amused that doesn't involve actually watching the team play baseball.

Williams reinstated, will start tonight. Brzykcy option to Rochester. No word on any moves involving Young.

I know there will be some negativity around Brzykcy, but he just came back a couple months ago from Tommy John and hasn't pitched in the majors before.  He had his surgery within a week of Cavalli, and compare the results.

yes. Sorry they had to burn an option on him and not keep him around to the end of the year. I would have DFA'd JBarnes before optioning out Brzykcy.

Only 9 days left in the regular season, so it wouldn't burn an option.  But no matter: he was already on the 40 man since last winter, so this option year was already burned before he came up.

Young says he's sore but it's nothing serious, expects to return soon.

The Rule 5 eligibility clock stops for no man, beast, or deity.  Only the 40 man roster can stop time.

Th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!

Jordan Weems is the Jason Bergmann of the current rebuild.  What a God-awful player.

Weems will go to an organization, will spend 10 minutes with an analytics guy and a pitching coach, and will become a dominant, hard throwing set up guy.
