It’s time for a fresh start.

I like the idea, other than using up $32M in salary on a 6th man.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 1h

It’s the right move. Give Jerami the green light and cook other teams’ second units.

Opening night starters: Holiday, Sharpe, Camara, Avdija, Clingan. Grant off the bench.

M's priority No. 1 is re-signing Naylor.

Then upgrade at RF, 2B and their bench, and maybe even at LF with Arozarena who's just a K machine. It'll be fun to watch what they do to run it back.

Brash not available for a Game 7? He should've been.

Bringing in Woo for a third inning was a lot IMO. Should've been happy with giving them 2 shutout innings. They had it.

The M's going out without using their two best setup guys in Brash and Speier will be talked about.

A 2-run lead in the 7th was set up perfectly for their bullpen to close it out. Oh well.

That was a hell of a season for the M's.

Lotta cool shit to remember. Greatest year in their franchise.

Get the bases loaded for Cal and hit a grand salami.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 19h

That was a walk for Suarez.

The M's had it all set up for Brash, Speier and Munoz to close it out, like they had all season. Curious end-of-game decisions here.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 20h

Damn, JP got up on that DP. Incredible.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 21h

You cannot come up empty after two leadoff hits. That M’s bottom of the order is yikes.

To celebrate Shaedon Sharpe’s 4-year, $90 million contract extension, his girlfriend made him his favorite dinner of fettuccine Alfredo.

Blazers rookie Yang Hansen said he passed his drivers test yesterday and is ready to travel Portland's roads. To celebrate, he purchased a car: A used BMW X5.

Joe Cronin cookin’ the last hour!

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 2d

Locking him up at $20M per for the next four years?

Wow. Great deal by Joe, and happy for Tou to get that life-changing money.

Portland Trail Blazers All-Defensive forward Toumani Camara has agreed on a four-year, $82 million contract extension with the franchise, agent Dave Putterie tells ESPN. Camara has blossomed into a vital and durable two-way player after being picked No. 52 in the 2023 NBA draft.

Will Stein in his bag! Wow…

Credit to Lanning for getting the Ducks ready to play with no mental letdown so far after last week.

Good things happen when Oregon runs the ball.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 2d

How do all these college teams find kickers who can hit from 50+ and Oregon can’t find one?? 😂

Yikes, Oregon … not good.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 3d

Playoff baseball is insane … when every pitch and decision is huge.

Alex Tam 譚汶材 @alexctam.bsky.social · 5d

It’d be understandable if a vet like Jrue may not have Portland as his first choice at this stage of his career, but it’s great to hear him say he’s excited to be here.
