Around Baseball 2023

Guy is dog water. Really happy he's off this team. 5 k's in his first 8 ABs and already single handedly losing games with his poor defense HA

 

[Captain Adama]

Why would you torture yourself watching the Dbacks??

 

What do you mean? The D-Backs have a bunch of interesting arms and young, exciting outfield.

[JFD]

 

It's good to be back buddy. I'll behave this year, promise!

The Padres have reached an agreement with infielder Jake Cronenworth on a seven-year extension, reports Dennis Lin of The Athletic. According to Lin, the contract starts with the 2024 season.

lol

[Deadpool]

You think they should just politely ask anyone who ends up on the field to leave? That would be an effective deterrent

 

There's a line between asking politely and professional wrestling.

What's a Cronenworth? I've always wondered.

one Norwegian Kroner is worth 0.12892418 Canadian Dollars

So we should be looking at about 90 cents for the extension!

Lol interested to see the dollar value on this one. Nothing like extending a mediocre and positionless slap hitter through age 37

 

They should just give Nelly Cruz a two year extension at this point

80 million. He's been a 4 WAR player in back to back seasons so the value is nice, but I don't like the term.

Got Rogers Ignite about a month ago and started to explore all what was offered under "sports". Found and watched a great documentary on Willie Mays last night. Very highly recommend it!

7 years 80M? Okay that’s fine I figured they would just hand him like 20M/year

[Laika]

That term is just another gimmick to decrease cap hit

 

Think of it more like 5/80 I guess?

[Grant77]

Robbie Ray to the DL after his stinker yesterday. He had a different delivery than with the Jays, I wonder if that was due to injury.

[Stangstag]

Chris Sale getting rocked by the Os. 7 hits and 7 ER in just 3 innings.

A s***** person managed by person who should be banned from baseball, on the shittiest organization in the history of sports. You love to see it.

Oh...Im totally heartbroken...Bwahhh

[G-Snarls]

Except then they score 9 runs to win

 

They pretty much have to every day with that starting rotation

There's a fine line between someone shooting their shot and an active shooter in the U.S. Tackle as hard as you can.

You can’t be serious. Excessive force like that is never warranted. That man is somebody’s son.

[BTS]

Trayce Thompson going off

It's worth noting that he was not injured and was tackled in a way that was unlikely to cause serious injury.

I was being facetious

[L54]

I fully support that security guard levelling him

[Spanky99]

Love to see it

 

Did you see how the Bosox won, lol. The O's Left fielder dropped a can of corn for the 3rd out and Duvall came up and hit a dinger, McKenna must have had a bad night's sleep.

Yes, I think stunts like this, for likes and views are dangerous in the professional sports world. It spills over to a lack of respect for the field of play in other sports. As someone who puts on sports, I really don't want some idiot thinking it's no big deal to do it. I'd love it if they had the ability to disable all their social media afterwards, as that is why so many do this. We don't need another Monica Seles incident to happen in sport. Sports needs to protect the field of play! If the law isn't going deter (cause no one goes to court), then find other ways to deter.

I’m on your side Hurl I agree completely.

[connorp]

2 game sample size, I know

 

But hypothetically if Bellinger sucks again this year, I wonder what he gets next year. Like how long will teams chase the lightning in a bottle
