Around Baseball 2017

Lol, Stanstag is literally doing that, hence your 2nd quote.

 

Derp.

 

"They still both involve bodily waste."

 

Pretty clearly not arguing that s***ing in food is worse. Kick rocks bud

[Dr. Dinger]

Wait... WHAT?

 

Yadier Molina is one player who’s been involved in heavy contract talks and it looks like his new deal with the Cardinals will be wrapped up in the next 24 hours. Per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the three-year pact will be worth somewhere between $55-65 million. If it’s on the higher end of that spectrum, Molina will surpass Buster Posey as the league’s highest-paid catcher in annual salary.

[Dr. Dinger]

That seems like an incredibly un-Cardinals-y amount of money to give to a catcher who's well past his prime.

But how can you put a price on the leadership and intangibles he brings to the diamond? Maybe he doesn't pee on people either. That's worth a lot to some people.

80 grade non pisser

[The Cats Ass]

Maddox pisses excellence. It should be taken as an honour to be pissed on by him.

Smyly out 6 to 8 weeks. No need surgery

WBC injury!

 

As a fan - this is too bad. He seemed to be throwing as good as he ever had. Big loss for the M's in a tight division.

[Stangstag]

f***. I'm really pulling for the M's this year, but his is a huge blow.

[Terminator]

I hate to see guys get hurt but if it's something that doesn't require surgery and it happens to one of our rivals for the WC then I'm not too upset about it.

[Dick_Pole]

WTF is Brownie talking about? Not wanting to get pissed on is not being a SJW. It's probably even worse when it's Maddux and you know you can't do a damn thing about it.

 

It's funny because it's pretty much the exact opposite. These terms like SJW and cuck at least when applied to white males are meant to imply that the they are guilt-ridden, self-hating wimps.

[baseballsss]

What's SJW? lol

Rockies break camp with German Marquez, Kyle Freeland, and Antonio Senzatela. wtf are they thinking?

Freeland and Senzatela are probably going to get ruined.

Holy, are the Padres going to be bad this year--they're carrying an A-ball pitcher (Miguel Diaz), an A-ball catcher (Luis Torrens) and a rookie-ball infielder (Allen Cordoba).. Padres better prepare for a LONGGGGGGGGGG season..... even 100 losses might be optimistic.

Meh they already know they're going to be bad. May as well keep the rule 5 guys.

That's frighteningly sad, I fear for their fanbase. 76ers potential bad??

[Spanky__99]

Exactly, they can be sent back to the minors next year. They're playing for the #1 pick.

They're also using Christian Bethancourt as a reliever and part time catcher.

It's Opening Day boys...enjoy it.

 

Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game's over.

 

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

 

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

 

Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.

 

It's like Christmas, except it's warmer.

 

An Opener is not like any other game. There's that little extra excitement, a faster beating of the heart. … You know that when you win the first one, you can't lose 'em all.

[intentional wok]

I somehow didn't realize that today is opening day. Will any of these games be televised?

Yeah, theyre all on back to back to back on TSN2 starting at 1pm eastern.

Miguel Castro was just DFA'd by the Rockies

That's surprising. Hoffman didn't make the rotation either, he'll start at AAA.

[Laika]

Important to DFA players like this so they can pump 45 OFP Antonio Senzatela directly from limited AA experience to Coors f***ing field.

Would he be a possible upgrade to one of our extremely lacking bullpen spots or for the Minors...he is still really young

He's not very good right now, so not an upgrade.

[Laika]

He has an option left. Great guy to stash in the minors, horrible guy to put in an MLB bullpen if the team is trying to win.
