Both Lindor and McCaan have been fugly. I could see that coming with McCaan, but not Lindor. Likely pressing with the massive contract hovering over him.

Rays tied that up quickly, Sean Reid-Foley sighting. He's been really good out of the pen early on this season. No walks???

 

LOL @ that first pitch!

 

He sure doesn't look good.

 

Getting hit hard SRF Suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That contract was absurd from the moment it was signed, but I didn't expect Lindor to be an albatross this season.

Lots of ball left, he's not this guy, no way. He looks lost right now, but I fully expect him to get better. Right? :P

 

That contract is absurd.

Family, man

 

It sounded like they used it for ball practice/training and Wendle credited it for discipline or something of that nature, that's abuse, man.

 

I'm just paraphrasing what the reporter said, there's a Special on Bally Sports Tampa with Wendle featured after the game. I wish I could watch it... :(

The Dodgers are like the one team that can waste a roster space and still win a World Series. I get it for them.

Pujols to the Dodgers.

 

Is this a non baseball move? Pure marketing. 500k to be forever linked to a legend. All it takes is like one big home run in the uniform.

 

I dunno

 

On the purely baseball side it's hard to see the why

Makes sense for both sides. Guy already said he's okay joining a team as a part-timer in a "mentorship" role so he's probably not gonna make a stink if they barely play him. At the same time, the Dodgers link themselves to a legend and they gain a bunch of marketing power. Pujols gets his best chance at a ring on a team that can easily afford to sacrifice a roster spot.

So what was wrong with him on a "mentorship" role with the Angels? He made a stink and was DFA'd. Guy's a dick, that's a big f*** you signing to the Angels as well. I agree with your points, the MLB Tonight panel were perplexed, but see him as a 1B against LHP and a bench bat. Makes sense, but he suxxxxxxxxxxx

What a shame that Trout and Ohtani play for the Angels

 

A bit like when we had Delgado and Doc in their primes.
