Guacasalsa from TJ tastes almost exactly like the sauce they put on the taquitos at Cielito Lindo on Olvera Street

@bendreyfuss @mattyglesias Seconded (works like a rock and also as heavy as one)
English
@mattyglesias I used to think this but then finally accepted that I really don’t need a color inkjet printer and got a Brother laser printer and it is rock solid. Spits out text documents super fast and never breaks.
English
It's sort of funny that we're going to have AGI before we have a printer that isn't constantly breaking.

@cuppingmaster Ginn’s velo was down too. Sitting 91-93. At the beginning of the spring he was mid 90’s
English
Ginn’s performance last night probably buys him a ticket to Vegas and gets Medina in the bullpen
English
Fellas, what’s stopping you from having your own Wiffleball Fenway Park like this home in Placerville, CA
English
@MissRoyalKC_OF @ThatBootlegGuy Haters are all out there like “lol they gunna be traited brah” but for those who have been paying attention, the A’s haven’t locked up guys like this since 1992.
English
@ThatBootlegGuy I feel so bad for A's fans. You guys deserve better
English
Thinking about this the other day - like most of you, I'm sure: Who should #athletics open up against for their Vegas debut in 2028? Gotta be a team (1) not in close proximity to Vegas; (2) w/fans that don't travel well and a roster w/inexplicably less name value than ours [1/2]
English
@MissRoyalKC_OF @ThatBootlegGuy Also, and I know what you mean, but it feels like the remaining A’s fans are actually truly excited about the future for once. It’s really weird in a good way to see them locking up future stars.
English
@MissRoyalKC_OF @ThatBootlegGuy The answer to Aaron’s question is the Royals.
English
@UnderdogMLB Why are they still acting like the cheap As. They’re gonna be in Vegas. Dude had a monster year he should be getting what Merrill and Anthony got.
English
Heyman: Athletics offered Nick Kurtz an extension believed to be "well north of $100M (maybe $130M or so)."
Extension currently considered a long shot.
English
I guess the predictions of Aaron Civale’s gascan-dom were premature. At least for tonight.
English
@BWH85 It’s more like you have to face Wilson and McNeil back-to-back before Kurtz
English
I still don’t like Kurtz batting leadoff. This is my ideal batting order:
McNeil
Kurtz
Langeliers
Soderstrom
Rooker
Muncy
Butler
Clark
Wilson

There’s a difference between shortening and anglicizing and I’m not sure the evidence is there for the latter.
Francys Romero@francysromeroFR
I’ve seen the anglicization of Latino names many times, but the latest is “Sal Perez” instead of Salvador Perez. As Roberto González noted in The Pride of Havana, this kind of forced assimilation represents a partial loss of cultural identity and shouldn’t happen today.

Trump: Everything was going great. The economy was great. I hate to make this excursion, but we're going to have to do it. And I actually thought the numbers would be worse. I thought that it would go up more than it did. So I wanted to put out that fire and I said, you know, if I do that, oil prices will go up, the economy will go down a little bit. I thought it would be worse, much worse. Actually, I thought there was a chance it could be much worse. It’s not bad.
English
@ScottBaldwin730 There was a short time where I thought they’d change names and colors heading into Vegas, but it seems like they’re leaning into it now.
But: an expansion team will have an opportunity to completely rebrand away from A’s-dom and not have the baggage that the current A’s carry.
English
@cuppingmaster I hope they can take the name and colors back. Especially the colors. I bleed green and gold.
English
Interesting tidbit at the end of Tuesday’s BBTN pod: that someone in the know told Buster that Oakland could well emerge as a serious expansion city once the dust settles in Vegas, Tampa, and with the CBA.
English
@ScottBaldwin730 I think that ship has sailed one way or another. But, if MLB does indeed expand back to the Bay that team will inherit the remaining Bay Area-based former A’s fans.
English
@cuppingmaster How about this:
Expand to Vegas, give Oakland OUR Athletics back, force fisher to sell. If he really wants Vegas he can invest in the expansion team.
English
@ThatBootlegGuy One time, when I worked a regular job, I had a whole peeled pineapple and I cubed it up in the kitchen. A co-worker asked for a bite, which I provided, and she was like “I have never eaten fresh pineapple before”.
I never looked at her the same way again
English
Early morning wisdom: fresh pineapple >>> canned pineapple. Every time.
English
@JessicaDBrand I need an ice cold water just looking at that thing. Mercy.

This and the DBat churro dog. Yes please. Would be tremendous with a bratwurst. Mmm.

The D-backs will have a "Take Me Out to the Ballgame Shake" at games this year 🤤 It's a salted caramel shake with whipped cream, peanut butter sandwich cookies, Kit Kat bars and Cracker Jack. (via @LevyRestaurants)

@studiomotu @tschulmanreport Dude has had a good spring, but I’d be super surprised if he took a roster spot over Hernaiz and Gelof. The former can play all but 1B and the latter has taken OF reps.
English
@tschulmanreport Stefanic finishes spring training hitting .485 with 1.211 OPS. Is top 10 in several offensive categories. Seems like a perfect utility guy and should have found a bench spot at least.
English
Qualified Athletics hitters with a 200+ wRC+ in spring training:
- Shea Langeliers (232)
