Mariners signed Castillo for 5/105?? Seems like a good deal, interesting timing

 

Plus in the deal if he needs TJS he has to play another year for 5M

 

Interesting team protection clause!

Looks a lot better than the Berrios deal right now! Watching that FB get massacred most of this season has not been fun. LHH love some of that.

Shane Baz getting TJS

Tony Larussa will not return as White Sox manager

For the best, for the Pale Hose and for Larussa himself. He's no spring chicken.

Is that a new precedent? I love that for these long term arms deals. Just a bit of nice downside risk protection.

Seems to be. Brilliant idea. Curious how many other contracts for SP start to include this sort of thing. Or if agents and the PA push back against it.

Imagine if we had just waited 1 more year to pull the trigger on a Berrios extension… could have had him for like 5/75 or something lol

At this point I would want him to pay us to pitch for the Jays another year.

Shane Baz getting TJS

 

Damn, another one bites the dust

[Stangstag]

Astros down to their last strike and score 3 runs

 

They won. Thank god

[BTS]

 

Really good deal for Seattle.

New documentary called "Facing Nolan" on Netflex. I liked it. Talk to him, his wife and a lot of former great players about him. Lots of good footage. Quite a story.

 

383Ks in one season!! and over 300 5 times. Just incredible. Never won a Cy Young.

 

They estimate he hit 107-108. 100 occasionally I can buy. I find 107 really hard to believe given how much overall V has gone up modern day.

Can't believe he never won a Cy Young Award. That's crazy!

 

7 no-hitters as well, though zero perfect games haha.

John Lackey's deal with Boston had a similar clause.

18 no-hitters as well, though zero perfect games haha.

 

Ya, its crazy. he had 7 no hitters. He walked 4-5/9 his whole career so no perfect games lol

 

very cool that in his 5th no hitter, still more than anyone else, Terry Puhl from SASK made a huge tough OF catch to preserve it. Very few Canadians back then in MLB...maybe just him at that time.

Only had 20 wins twice in his career. Clearly he wasn’t a winner, hence no awards

Joking aside the voters cared a lot more about that during his era

[Eat My Shatkins]

f***en Astros couldn't hold the goddamn lead

[Grant77]

Bad relief pitching and outfield blunders from Kelenic are allowing the Royals to get back into an 11-2 game. 11-7 now, with a 5 run inning still going.

[Grant77]

The Orioles haven't mattered for a couple of weeks now.

Still, the sooner they are officially eliminated from catching the Jays, the better.

[BlueJays]

Lmao. Royals trying to make a comeback after 11-2

 

EDIT: HOLY f*** THEY TOOK THE LEAADDDDDDDDDD

[Grant77]

It would be cool to see them catch Tampa or Seattle, who is currently in the middle of giving up an 8 run inning to Kansas City and 4-7 in their last 11.

[Grant77]

Make that a 10 run inning against the vaunted Mariners bullpen, that is well below replacement level for September.

[Stangstag]

Holy s*** what a collapse by the Mariners today

[Spanky__99]

Holy s*** what a collapse by the Mariners today

 

Last I saw it was 9-2, hah!

[Spanky__99]

People are honestly worried about the Orioles???
