How does one pronounce "dopes," referring to the SOSH moderators? Do you pronounce it the same as the O sound in SOSH?

Is it like idiots or the slang word for drugs? So, dough-ps?

Or is it like the delicious traditional Mexican dish, sopes? Saw-pehs?

I mean, I know the answer. But I prefer the softer pronunciation, and I think from now on that's how I'm going to say it. Daw-peh. Like you could say, the daw-pehs are dough-ps. That's how I'm going to say it from now on. But, you know, just in my head. Not out loud. I don't talk about this place out loud.

I am afraid you may have caught Millar's logorrhea. Of course you're a lot smarter than he is, but still, be careful, guy, you may be losing it.

Double plays suck, because you had at least one base runner, and only zero or one outs, but then they got two outs with one batter. And so it hurts double. You go from being in business to being out of business. And it happens fast. That's the problem.

I guess on the other side, when you turn one on defense, it is good. I just don't like them when we are the team at bat. That's all. Really just a small point. They stink.

I feel like our pitchers would be better if they only needed to get two outs each inning.

I don't believe they will pursue him but I wouldn't rule it out. He fills a lot of needs with a lot of risk but damn, if it works its amazing.
Ohtani means that Yoshida remains an outfielder and Turner is definitely returning, which makes Story and Wong the top RH batters in the lineup ... barring other changes. And if you're paying Ohtani $50M a year, those other changes aren't likely to be major
