    Central PA Winter 23/24

    My daughter text me about 730 with a picture of her dog in the bath tub. 
    I have two golden retrievers, one reposed, one still with us, both used the space between the shitter and the wall as their thunder buddy.

    The living dog is probably the largest golden on record. He probably tips the scales at around 130 lbs. Remarkably he's not a fat dog. Watching him squeeze his big ass under and behind the can is hilarious.

    I heard Hershey was making a big push to get it back. However, i would not be surprised to see State Championships in State College. Softball and baseball is already there 
    Hersheypark stadium just seems to be... underwhelming for the gravity of a state championship game. CV should absolutely not rank over Hersheypark for anything but the first time I drove past that campus, I was blown away. And that never really went away.

    Mansion Park in Toontown was not much different from Hersheypark stadium, and that tells you about as much as you need to know.

    Having it at Penn State just makes sense. Biggest school in the state, football-wise. The television camera from PCN would love it. Just makes too much sense.

    Big loser of Estadio Beaver being winterized is Cumberland Valley School District, as I guarantee the second the giant erector set is able to host the PIAA State Football Championships, they're headed to State College.

    I don't see a Salt Lake team, but Charlotte and Nashville are definitely possibilities. Austin/San Antonio have a joint plan for a team too.
    But IMO baseball shouldn't expand. It's kinda watering down as is. 
    I wouldn't expand. I'd send Miami, Tampa, and Colorado packing and I would send a warning to Mr. Nutting that he start spending, sell the team, or they're next.

    Yup.
    Now they need to eliminate the entire AL/NL and regroup divisions. And then in the playoffs eliminate divisions and go by records solely. 
    When they expand to Salt Lake, Nashville, and Charlotte, assuming the last two towns don't end up sending Atlanta to war with baseball over the south, they'll have to do a massive realignment, make it geographic, and seed based on records. Universal DH (ugh) eliminated the need for respective leagues.

    And just to "show my work" on Boston.

    13 games against Baltimore. I suspect no better than 4-9 over this series.

    13 games against Tampa. This may be a little closer because Tampa kinda sucks the later the season goes on. 6-7.

    13 games against Toronto. I'll be generous and say 5-8.

    13 games against Yankees. 6-7, 7-6, maybe 8-5 or 5-8. This could go either way. I think the Yankees are a little better, but their manager is an absolute moron, as is their entire front office collectively.

    So what's that in division? 21-31. Now let's look at some of the others...

    3 games vs Dodgers. Maybe you luck out and miss Yamamoto this series? 1-2

    4 games vs Braves. Red Sox recently have fared better against the Braves than most, but the Braves actually got better this off-season, which I didn't think was possible. Good luck. 1-3. Unless the Sox miss Fried and/or Strider both times.

    3 games vs Phillies. I don't think the Phillies are going to be any different than the last 2 seasons. They don't get going until the playoffs. I'll be generous and give the Sox a series win. 2-1.

    3 games vs Dbacks. I don't know what to expect of the Dbacks, but they still have Corbin Carroll. I suspect they fall off a bit in a competitive NL West. 2-1.

    3 games vs Rangers. Good luck. 0-3.

    3 games vs Astros. They're the Astros until they all die. 1-2

    That's an expected 7-12 against who I expect to be the non-divisional contenders. We're at 28-43. That leaves 91 games, which I would expect the Sox to hover around .500, which would be an additional 45 wins putting us at 73 wins.

    Flying down to catch a Sox game Saturday to meet a friend. [mention=1366]Itstrainingtime[/mention]'s O's are going down!*
     
    *jk Boston might not win 72 games this year. 
    The best thing that could have ever happened in the current state of baseball in Boston and New York is the "everyone plays everyone" format has eliminated division games from 19 to 13.

    Baltimore, Tampa, and Toronto are going to absolutely teabag New York and Boston this year. Baltimore in specific. Only facing them 13 times likely makes 72 wins possible.

    In the old format, I'd give the Sox 68 wins. The Yankees 74. They're going to be awful this season.

    I’m actually on vacation this week, which means less time checking the board than while I’m at work ha. Also have a sick toddler on my hands who was up all night puking, so that’s great. He seems to be better now. One of those quick-hitter kid stomach bugs. 
    Flu is going around up here. My kid's daycare sent a message yesterday about several positive flu tests. I can't believe in 2024 we haven't been able to make kids Iike cars and just swap out parts when they go to shit and when they're not broken down they don't get sick.
