I always figured Thom would be a jerk. Marty might be smart enough to leave this one like and seethe in private, but then again... WLW radio (Reds homebase) and Cincy always seems to have a streak of angry, cynical and mean politics wound in it. That whole culture seems to be all about finger pointing and talk sxxt once someones back is turned.
Got to wonder if someone on the staff had gotten sick of some of Thom's BS and left a mike open so it could get picked up.

In Milwaukee, 45 minutes from Kenosha, Brewers pitcher Devin Williams @DTrainn_23 just scratched BLM into the pitcher's mound and then struck out the Reds in order. Powerful stuff. @Jomboy_ pic.twitter.com/khsHqutwbM— Tony Imbimbo (@CTonyI) August 25, 2020

well here we are at the halfway mark and haha it feels like the season just started amirite!
fangraphs has seven AL teams at over 95% to make the playoffs; toronto is the eighth at 62%. poor mike trout
NL is more wide open, with dodgers/cubs/padres/braves over 90%. everyone else except the pirates has at least a 23% shot

At this point, I just don't care anymore. They should shut it all down and try again next year.

The Marlins ramped up their efforts to make the postseason on Monday by swinging two separate trades while the club faced the Mets at Citi Field.The Marlins made a big move to upgrade their offense by acquiring D-backs outfielder Starling Marte in exchange for left-hander Caleb Smith, righty Humberto Mejía and a player to be named later, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.After the fifth inning, second baseman Jonathan Villar was lifted for a pinch-hitter and spoke briefly with manager Don Mattingly. MLB.com confirmed the 29-year-old has been traded to the Blue Jays as part of a separate deal. According to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, Griffin Conine is part of the return in that deal. Conine is the son of “Mr. Marlin” Jeff Conine. A second-round Draft pick in 2018, Conine hit .283/.371/.576 with 22 home runs in Low-A last season for the Blue Jays.Neither trade has been confirmed by the club.PROPOSED MIAMI-ARIZONA TRADE DEALMarlins would get: OF Starling MarteD-backs would get: LHP Caleb Smith, RHP Humberto Mejía, PTBNLPROPOSED MIAMI-TORONTO TRADE DEALMarlins would get: OF Grffin ConineBlue Jays would get: IF Jonathan Villar

I’m glad to have him in Toronto, but why would the marlins ship him out if they’re trying to contend?!

i'm not sure how seriously they're trying to contend -- they're not very good and their current playoff chances are around 30%. anyway villar's a pending free agent, hasn't been that great, and the money they'll save helps offset getting marte, who is better and has a team option for 2021
