Around Baseball 2019

Is the O even worse than the Trop?

[Slade]

They would need a new stadium though, Olympic Stadium is a dump.

[Laika]

Of course. But the Trop is also dumpy for different reasons.

[Jonn]

Awesome one huge step forward to having a second Canadian team.

 

Jays can stop with all the cringy Canadian marketing and we put on the Blue Jays logo back on our Spring, and batting practice hats!

Charlie Blackmon with another dinger, wRC+ 153...

Is that Stroman trade still available.

Pete Alonso goes yard for number 25! What a story!

[5ToolPhenom]

The first time this was floated the prosecutor dismissed it saying they had already admitted they were after Ortiz. Now even the prosecution’s tune has changed. Hate to put on the tin cap but seems like they decided to bury the truth here. Either because of Ortiz and/or the person that was really responsible for the hit (politically connected drug lord)

 

Yeah, I'm not buying it either. Everyone knows who Papi is in the DR.

[5ToolPhenom]

Um, this seems like a huge development:

 

 

WOW. Great news!

Yelich actually matching Trout offensively

I found these interesting articles which may have had something to do with the shooting.

Sounds to me like perhaps he had gambling debts

Where is Jose Bautista - he seemed to vanish into an abyss of non baseball activities

His net worth is $55M and he has gambling debts? I mean it's possible but it's super stupid if true

[Spanky__99]

[tbad]

If I did that I might miss out on your binge drinking tonight and the resulting barrage of incoherent posts into the wee hours of the night.

It's crazy when you think about it, the Yanks have added, EE and get back both Judge and Stanton this week. Bronx Bombers will run away with the East.

From the latest Klawchat:

JWR: Will you be making further comment about the Twitter flare up with Bauer? I know some of the details but I’m still not sure about the origin/history of events.

 

Keith Law: What comment have I made? Bauer decided it was appropriate to mock me for being 5’6″. I don’t think there’s anything further to say on it.

 

Lol someone at ESPN must have told Keith Law to pipe down or something because this is the only response he's given after their twitter exchange.

I f***ing loved it. Bauer has high fan interaction, donates a ton to charity and everyone who meets him says he's a great guy. Law has decided he hates him because he isn't woke enough, but is too much of a huge pussy to be direct and Bauer decimated him.

 

Then Bauer decimated that other little dweeb who tried to white knight for Keith.

Agreed. Bauer is pretty damn funny. Kind of like a Brian Wilson type of funny with a MAGA twist to it. Law just comes across as having a stick up his ass.

Hahaha Keith Law is such a pussy. Big bark and no bite, soft as puppy s*** in July. Stick to your s***** evaluation process Keith.

Yordan Alvarez is not a top 100 prospect anymore

Anyone who calls out and humiliates Keith Law is good in my book.

Wow, what a bomb by Mazara!
