Bill's Baseball Thread [Experts ONLY]

[volfanbill]

Please, take all food talk to the appropriate culinary thread. This is for baseball discussions twixt the experts.

food talk, especially baked tater talk, is normally acceptable, but I’m not Randy when I’m anxious and sad…

 

[malinoisvol]

I'm always randy.

 

[volfanbill]

this is just purely my speculation, if this goes til tomorrow, he's gone. Wait til after the ALCS for a yes, a no can come whenever.

 

[volfanbill]

and I notice that right before I said that, people in the baseball forum were hypothesizing the same thing

 

[theFallGuy]

We are. If you don’t like it, you’re free to leave

A “no” may be dependent on the UTAD’s response and not necessarily coming whenever. Someone leaked this on TSIO, and I’m now inclined to believe it was the TV team to pressure White into whatever his annual ask is this year.

This is the most FF response I’ve ever seen from you

It’s about the nil money. TV wants Tennessee to invest in baseball at the same level as Arkansas does.

We will see if we find that money.

Tifwiw

 

[volfanbill]

IF, and I can't emphasize IF enough, he takes the job, it's the allure of winning on the grandest stage. That's it. It's not NIL, it's not salary, it's not Danny White. I won't fault him for chasing that dream, but I'll be unbelievably broken hearted.

tl/dr

It seems odd, but at the same time li can see it. Why else would he be on the radar.

That damn game in Denver.

Ok

“Baggarly said that all of his sources for the story he co-reported with Ken Rosenthal and Brittany Ghiroli on Saturday were baseball industry people, but none were from the Giants.”

 

[95 Vol Alum]

For FF minds, what baseball people would be in the know outside of SF? And how? And why was it reported on that day?

Because Rosenthal gives two fu**s about the TSIO. If anything, it benefits him

 

[Orangeslice13]

money was just asked for to raise the NIL budget for baseball.
I’m sure that’s just a coincidence

What’s his source(s)?

 

[volfanbill]

What’s his source(s)?

Any and every baseball person on the planet.

 

[volfanbill]

He’s Ken freaking Rosenthal

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I’m happy to be wrong. But SF and the reporters saying it wasn’t on their end, then who? Why that day then? Particularly if MLB doesn’t want this news messing with the playoffs. Allegedly.

He needs a credible source? Was it Ohtani?

 

[volfanbill]

the Rangers and those around Bochy, the Padres, the article literally could be wrong, it’s Giants personnel granted anonymity. For all but three teams, it’s hot stove season. They don’t care about college football

 

[volfanbill]

But anybody that knows anything in mlb would tell Rosenthal. Anybody that knows anything at Tennessee would tell C Lo

Who benefits from the leak?
