Jim, you're probably safe to drop him in LoD now.

[Abomination]

Jim, you're probably safe to drop him in LoD now.

 

He probably should have 15 minors ... er months ago.

[G-Snarls]

Albert Pujols hit a 2 run HR in a 3-2 Dodgers win over ARI last night

[Maahfaace]

He probably should have 15 minors ... er months ago.

 

He's waiting for him to exhaust all his appeals first.

[BTS]

Jimbo still holding strong. Can't discount the possibility that Vazquez only gets 15 years and launches a successful comeback attempt at 45.

[G-Snarls]

Crazy that the Dodgers now have

 

4 previous MVP winners

3 previous Cy Young winners

[wilko]

 

f*** that guy.

[Deadpool]

Does this merit anything more than a shrug? Who knows, I'll let you decide...

 

 

Edit: I guess it is, if they're making room for Wander

[Brownie19]

It's Franco time!

[BTS]

It's Franco time!

 

I don't think it is quite yet. He's been just OK in AAA, and they don't rush things. I think its Walls or Brujan.

[Brownie19]

Adames has warts, but this return seems light no?

Definitely more than a shrug. Adames is a good young player and the Rays just got back two good relievers who we'll probably see turn into Nick Anderson 2.0 and 3.0 so yes we should definitely care about this.

[glory]

Never heard of those relievers, but they'll be elite coming out of the pen the moment they put on the Rays uniform.

[Orgfiller]

The Rays really value cheap top tier relievers, I think we'll be seeing a lot of Feyereisen and Rasmussen over the following years.

[L54]

Jim, you're probably safe to drop him in LoD now.

 

He's trying to move him still. Offered me that piece of s*** for a 6th round pick

 

Just drop him Jim. It's time to move on.

[BTS]

Yeah. Feyereisen in particular feels like someone who's going to have a very good few years in their pen. They like mixing it up in the pen, and he brings a very high spin rate fastball and great contact management, albeit in a small sample.

lol, he offered that to you after the conviction?

 

He's going to jail. Like, for a long time.

Agreed.

 

With that all said, I also really like this for the Brewers. Any time you can acquire a young and viable starting SS with some upside left with some years of control for two relievers who aren't yet elite and you can produce more of them is a huge win.

[Orgfiller]

When people say that the hitters should just adjust their approach and the strikeouts will come down.

 

[Jimcanuck]

A few months ago L54 offered a 6th for him. Was checking to see if the offer was still avail.

[M.E.]

Angels going to full stadium capacity In June. Come on Canada get your s*** together and at least let the team come home and play. It’s time…..

August/September, Just in time for the playoff push

End of June I expect, coinciding with the border opening just in time for summer travel. Vaccination papers required.

[BlueRocky]

Full deal:

 

 

Fully expect Rays to work their magic on Rasmussen.

[Spanky__99]

This is a fun one after the Mercedes/La Russa saga:

 

 

This chart is stupid, now check for 3-0 swings in a blowout after the 6th inning... 2 batters swung Mercedes a HR off a position player, who cares. And the other was a foul ball by (I can't recall), who cares.

 

Swinging 3-0 is a perfect time to keyhole your pitch, nothing wrong with it.

[King]

Tyler Ivey tonight

 

 

Ehhh

Not sure if I missed this, but Kratz called out the Rockies for cheating like the Astros in 2018 - also suggested another team that recently went to the WS was also cheating.

 

I think we all suspected this. Seems odd that if they 'caught' the Rockies doing it against them in 2018 that they wouldn't have called them out right then and there.

[L54]

Jim we both know why I offered it. I was giving you the chance to pull chute

 

I owned him in BORED and was the first owner to drop him the day of the allegations

It's a joke chart bro.
