To echo the other comments, it was a massively enjoyable baseball season made even better by having you back for it, writing and breaking it down for us.

Oop, while you certainly deserve the emphasis on the accolades I wasn't trying to be pushy about it. :) Technical issues.

Disappointed as I am, there is equal excitement for all that is coming for the team.

Great summary and thanks for your excellent coverage throughout the season. Always a highlight when a post pops up in my email. Looking forward to the off-season content which can sometimes be just as interesting, if not more.

I find the word 'bitter' an odd one to use from Shapiro. Strange context unless that was a subtle reference to the COVID related logistic nightmares they had to deal with that no-one else did.

I saw a brief clip of Ross Atkins talking about Ray/Semien and my take was that they are prepared for them to move on. As much of a loss as that is on the surface, I'm glad you talked about Semien because it may be that we captured lightning in a bottle with both players. I trust the Front Office's evaluation of players (ignoring Roark and some bullpen names) and I'm sure they've got plans on how to spend that money on other valuable replacements.

Thanks man! As for that clip, Atkins definitely was not over-promising on those guys. Will have something up on his whole talk either later today or tomorrow!
