Anyone watch Senga's first start today?

Will Smith signed with the Rangers, he was a lefty I hoped the Jays picked up. Well, depends what he signed for of course.

 

$1.5MM in guaranteed money, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post Up to $2.5MM in bonus money is also available, related to incentives based on total appearances and games finished, indicating that Smith might indeed get some consideration for a closer role.

 

 

Rosenthal just signed also, going to the Tigers on a minor league deal. 2 million if he makes the big club and up to 2 million more in incentives.

Perhaps after Bauer, they thought maybe we should actually vet the accusers first

Yet rather ironically, all things considered, the Twins are still ahead in the trade lol

What? SWR has a 9.00 ERA this spring.

Well, I mean considering everything at this point of time. Including Berrios’ contract.

So O > negative

Wait...you didn't take me talking ERA and spring numbers seriously did you? Please tell me that was /s on top of /s...

 

On an unrelated topic, I didn't realize how many symbols for sarcasm there are online. , /s, backwards ? and reverse @ all seem to be acceptable...who knew?

Nah. It’s just usually I have to end up spelling out the point I was making. So I assumed

He's in the hospital being monitored for a Conky, in good spirits considering he was smashed in the face.

[L54]

I busted my jaw taking a pitch to the face. Probably like an 83 mph heater. Couldn’t imagine taking a major league fastball

Maybe Busch has voodoo dolls

He's on Boston, meat.

Anyone watch Senga's first start today?

 

BA's take...

 

Kodai Senga, RHP, Mets: Senga made his North American debut in Jupiter on Sunday against the Cardinals. He struggled with command throughout the start but showed off an impressive pitch mix. Senga sat 95-97 mph on his fastball, touching 98 mph at peak, and mixed in his notorious “ghost” forkball, a sweeper in the low 80s and a high-80s cutter. He allowed one run over two innings, struck out two and walked two.

Damn. I had never even thought about what they make turf from

[Spanky__99]

 

Wow... that's wild.

[connorp]

Damn it. Just looked and Jo Adell can’t even hit in ST anymore

[John_Havok]

Ya know what’s interesting, Cal Ripken Jr never missed a game for nearly 17 season straight, but also never played 162 games in a season for more than 3 seasons in a row.

Go read the stats on Soccer goalkeepers. They make up 10% of a team but of soccer players who have been diagnosed with cancer over two thirds are goalies. In the sport and rec world it was pretty well known and there were many international articles, but it was swept under the rug pretty quickly.
