    Learning how to pronounce “Darragh” was the meat and potatoes of the chat for me.

      While I like (some of) his glibness and humor, I guess it takes three times in separate chats to establish the pronunciation of “Darragh”–it has now been included in his chats that many times.

      Next: “How do you pronounce ‘McDonald’?”

        Lester, you are obviously a close follower of the chats friend. As much as I try to suck up every morsel MLBTR has to offer, I miss a beat here and there. Darragh is a kool name nevertheless.

    As a native Californian, I have several issues with things related to the chat.

    1. Didnt know where Linden is, but saying its “the bay area” or close to when its 100 miles is idiotic. LA and SD are a good 100 miles apart and they aren’t close.

    2. We have “the” in front of our freeway names because its a hold over from when they had actual names, not numbers. Get over it. Its a CA thing.

    3. To go along with #2, if “the” is incorrect (its not), then NorCal folk need to stop using “hella”. Just stop.

      I thought everyone referred to their freeways as “the 5” or “the 10.” Is that really only a CA thing??? If that is true I had no idea haha

        Absolutely true. East coasters only ever refer to freeways as a number, without “the”. I think its also true of mid westerners, but Ive only ever had this conversation with east coasters… I can’t remember where/when I learned its because of our system of roads like el camino real, etc. If you know any transplants that use “the” its more likely because they’ve been here a while and have adjusted.

          the funny thing is 405 doesn’t go all the way to san diego but named after the city. 5 is called santa ana in oc though it goes through many other cities.

          Close. We mostly only use the number except certain roads. Like an interstate will be an I followed by the number. Example I95.

          Only people from southern California say “the” in front of the freeway number. I take 17 to 85 to 280 to get to work.

      Kelvin, the first five words of your post should say, “As a native Southern Californian,”. No one in Northern CA uses the “The” unless they’re tied somehow to SoCal (born, parents from there, or lived there a while). No says “hella” – or “Cali” either.

        Wow, OK, so I stand corrected. I always thought it was a purely CA thing, I didn’t realize it was even more specific to SoCal.

    Juat feels right/natural to give them the dignity of a “The” instead of reducing them to a crude #. Freeways have feelings too..

    No “Frisco”? Good. No “San Fran”? Groovy.
    That leaves “Sam Frank’s Disco.”
    It even works with Scott McKenzie/John Phillips lyrics. Are you goin’?

    That chat kind of degenerated. But my two cents is that only SoCal people say ‘the 5’, or ‘the 405’. No one in NorCal, or even the North State, where I live, say that.

    Also, the context has been ignored when someone says Linden is not close to the Bay Area. Sure, if you’re walking. But it’s vastly closer to the Bay Area than any other MLB region. It’s close enough that Judge grew up a Giant’s fan.

    Nit-picking about it not being close is just that. No one said anything similar when Mike Mussina was described as growing up a Yankee fan in regionally close PA. Mussina grew up over 160 miles from NYC.

      The whole “He’ll sign with X because it’s so close to his home (or where he grew up)” take is silly.
      Example: “Jacob DeGrom will sign with Atlanta because it’s so close to his home.”
      From Atlanta to DeLand, Florida, where he played at Stetson, it’s 420 miles, hardly just around the corner.
      Notice that no one says that he’ll sign with the Rays or the Marlins for the same specious “close to home” fabrication.
      99 percent of these guys will sign where the best money deal is.

        Why are you responding to me about something that has noting to do with my post? There was a question as to whether Linden could be considered close to SF, and I only pointed out, that in context with the other MLB areas, that it can be considered close.

        That’s it, That’s all I said, and there’s zero suggestion on my part that Judge will sign with the Giants because of that proximity, only that it exists. Judge will probably sign with whomever gives him the best contract.

          Gosh, no offense meant. It was in the context of the “close to home” narrative, which you actually did address in your post concerning Linden and “MLB regions”, and “nit-picking about it not being close is just that.”

          If you re-read my post, you might even see that I was agreeing with you.

          Fair enough. But if you took my take about Linden being close, as support for Judge signing with the Giants because of it’s nearness, then I failed to be clear. I have no such belief.

          My take about the proximity of Linden to SF was purely academic, addressing the argument in this thread about whether it was close or not.

    I’m sorry but some of those Giants “fans” are questionable. I would take the Giants 3 championships last decade over what the Dodgers have done the past 10 years. 1 championship in an asterisk season and that’s it. Friedman has as much luck with the Dodgers as he did with the Rays. 2nd the Giants have given out several large contracts. Bonds and Zito off the top of my head. They chased Stanton’s $300m clunker too. Don’t let Hal fool you he only made that speech so he can shrug and say he tried when Judge leaves. Which is exactly what he should do. They already have Stanton turning into a pumpkin and they don’t need 2 $30+m a year DH’s plus an aging Cole in a few short years. Judge is 6’7” and 270lbs. He will age like a tightend. Hopefully Hal spends the money on Turner and lets Judge go home to the Bay area. The Yankees decided not to extend him years ago when most teams would have. We were all glad to see Cano on Seattle’s payroll when he turned 35. The same will be said about Judge by whichever fanbase misses out on him.

    Giants need to have some prospects step up next year. The giants pride themselves on having a lot of coaching and modern player development but last year a lot of their top prospects took a step back.

    Not saying it is all the coaches fault, development isn’t always linear and sometimes stuff just happens but they need to turn every stone and find a way to especially make the top hitting prospects better.

      Agreed. Hopefully both Harrison and Luciano take the next step and see big league action some time this upcoming season.
