My opinion is that the vaccine was obviously not as effective as we all hoped, but im certain that it decreased the severity of the symptoms of those who got COVID after being vaccinated. Strongly opposed to government mandates, though. Just let nature run its course through the dumb ones. Isn’t it crazy how “they” complain about how ineffective the vaccine was, then turn right back around and claim that the side effects of the vaccine cause everything from cancer, lupus, vaginal dryness to premature baldness? -

Just curious as to how you came to rank each team individually? But since you don't have time to back up your ranking, then maybe one should not be so critical of someone else's ranking. -
You’ll never convince me that the (original) vaccines didn’t greatly decrease sickness and death. By the end of it all I knew 16 people personally that died from COVID, and the only one who was vaxxed was a double organ transplant recipient. Unless we’re to believe that every health organization in the country is in on a giant conspiracy, the numbers of hospitalizations were insanely skewed towards the non-vaccinated. I have 4 parents and 2 in-laws. 4 of the 6 were vaccinated, and the other 2 both ended up in the hospital with COVID, one of them twice. I’ve also never seen any realistic proof that ivermectin worked, and considering around 99 out of 100 people survived COVID, you could take 100 ivermectin users and 99 would end up swearing to the effectivity of the medicine. All that having been said, I never felt that the vaccine should be mandated, or that someone shouldn’t be allowed to take a medicine that they wanted to try. It should be a personal choice. It’s obviously a non-issue at this point now that COVID has mutated to something that generally hits people less hard than the common flu. -

Your thoughts on Loperfido while valid has counter arguments. Can Loperfido bunt very well would be first and doing it well in BP is a world of difference from, as Espada stated, from bunting 90 plus fast balls. After the strike out though, I question why bunting Cabbage at all with an out on the board. With 2 outs it requires a hit to score, thus Cabbage should be swinging. As for Alvarez, if I recall the situation you mention, he likely did that on his own as the 3rd baseman was shifted way off the line. I simply do not recall the score or what inning which would play a huge role in that decision. Dubon seeing more playing time...agreed. Fire Espada for that decision would mean you call for most managers to be fired. Yes, I realize you have other reasons as well. Interesting thought on bunting I have heard from an old timer that has changed his bunt thoughts. He doesn't care for it much anymore because players strike out to expletive expletive much to justify it very often. His statement, "I would have had him bunt, but the next fatherless child would strike out, so forget it." Which is exactly what happened with Cabbage. Thus, to ALWAYS bunt, no for sure. Do it in the same situation with different players, absolutely...but like an adult diaper...it depends. -
I think the talk was that they weren’t gonna run it… Even they would probably have more success with it
