T.G.

I was in the mood for a blood bath... and you disappointed me.

I expect Ward to hit 45-50 dingers, steal 40+ bases, cure cancer and host SNL to a record viewing audience.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Wrong forum.

@Dtwncbad - Well played.

You have to be Phil's favorite nephew.

To be honest... I didn't and I'm not going to do a deep dive into their careers and statistics. It was just my gut response. Hall of "Fame" - means different things to different people. I've often heard Molina referred to as a future HOFer.... I don't think I've heard that for Martin. He'll be eligible in a few years, so we'll see. If you were looking for someone to debate this with... you have the wrong guy. I don't really argue these things. It's like Brandon said earlier... when Harold Baines went in, it took away some of the prestige, IMO.

No. Should he be? Meh... I don't think so.

I wasn’t questioning Yadier’s HOF qualifications.

So?

Interesting stat: Yadier has thrown out 40% of those attempting to steal a base. Others: Roy Campanella: 57% Ivan Rodriguez: 46% Thurman Munson: 44% Elston Howard: 44% Johnny Bench: 43% Bob Boone: 40% Charles Johnson: 39% Lance Parrish: 39% Salvador Perez: 36% Benito Santiago: 35% Gary Carter: 35% Carlton Fisk: 34% Mike Piazza: 23% Just to name a few...

He's probably the greatest defensive catcher of his generation... but certainly not in the history of the game (IMO). And... YES to the HOF question.

Well, cals... looks like your trip was worth the wait.

We went to an El Torito last night... I hadn't been to one in years (because I don't care for them), but I had a gift card... When we walked in there was a sign at the host's podium... that said something along the lines of "We charge a 3.9% surcharge due to the cost of labor..." WTF? Just raise the price of the items on the menu. Good grief. Maybe they were making a point? I don't know - but stuff like that just makes me not want to patronize those kinds of places of business. To add to all of that... When it was time to pay the bill, the server brought a device over and I had 3 choices for tip... 18%, 20%, 22%... actually 4 choices... "other." She had highlighted the 20%. Again, WTF? We're good tippers and usually tip more than 20%, but that on - top of the 3.9% surcharge, just rubbed me the wrong way. I understand the restaurant industry took a big time hit during Covid. I know a lot of family owned places went under as did some corporate places. But damn... it is really getting expensive to eat out. When I do... I don't want them to nickle and dime me. If I'm eating out, I'm prepared to pay more these days... just don't play games with me.
