Max Scherzer on ejection, Phil Cuzzi proud member of the UMPSHOW...

 

 

Another ejection over Rosin, not a good look. And stupid as f***.

 

Is it a coincidence that all 3 ejections over sticky stiff since they started checking have been done by Cuzzi?

Oooof. MLB needs to get their s*** together if this is true (and I have no reason to believe it's not).

Ump with a God complex.

Seriously man, he cleaned his hands with alcohol... and reapplied the rosin in front of an MLB official and went out onto the field, Umpshow, bro.

Las Vegas A’s has a nice ring to it.

 

In no way wiill they change the team name from the Athletics. Its been the name of the franchise since 1901 across 3 cities.

Diamondbacks just designated MadBum for assignment. Sick of his s***** play and constant drama I assume. What a horrible signing this became for the Diamondbacks. 5 years $85M (in 2020) and he gave them 2 WAR before being released.

 

Damn they must really be sick of his s***. They have like 8 starters right now so makes sense

[BTS]

MadBum made 85M and put up 1 fWAR over the life of the contract.

Laika where did my post go?

I don't see any deleted posts

[BTS]

Yeah, I don't see anything deleted in the last couple pages.

[Deadpool]

Half the time it’s the mod starting the conversation. He literally just can’t help himself

 

I thought about deleting this post, then I figured I'd just tell you to go f*** yourself instead.

What the f*** did you add to the conversation other than just congratulating your idiot friend for getting away with posting corporate ******** as truth?

All I know is the better f***ing keep the Green/Gold colours man. The A's uniforms are sexy as f***.

Is this proper mod etiquette?

What the f*** did you contribute to the conversation by advocating for shoplifting as a human right you govt leech

[philly30]

The politics on the board always begins with a lib slant that the mods let go... I'm pretty center of the road politically, but pretty sure shop lifting is a problem. Always has been, but in the last few years trends in homelessness, drug use, and shoplifting, which are correlated have been up. Seems like that should be a common sense.

 

On the other hand are armed gangs of scary different people terrorizing the local Walmart? Probably not. I've never seen it at least. Just as likely white rich kids who want more than their allowance will buy are shoplifting around where I live.

 

Shoplifting is a huge problem even in outside of major cities, and all types steal, black, white, whatever, most is non violent but it makes the insurance for these stores rise and at some point it is no longer viable to keep the store in a particular location

Jesus Christ, can everyone just stop and refocus on baseball? Maybe take it to PM if you must argue over nonsense.

The crime talk is relevant to what city has a better chance to get a team

[philly30]

Montreal is not getting a team.

 

I didn't think so but Tampa will probably move, there are only so many cities that can handle Major league team and baseball is expanding

[wilko]

The crime talk is relevant to what city has a better chance to get a team

 

No it's not. If that was the case most teams in the US would be gone. Vegas got them because it's a transient spot with sports fans from everywhere.

I don't think crime would be even remotely considered when determining what city gets a team

[jaysblue]

It also needs to be an Outdoor stadium with a roof for climate control. People in Montreal want to be outside in the Summer time. Another dome would not go well.

 

I just said that. Seattle and Milwaukee's roof/glass behind opens.

[jaysblue]

I don't think we'll ever see another team in Montreal. I think they'd go to Mexico City before moving back to Montreal.

 

I agree as well.

 

Montreal failed and would take a lot for MLB to go back to that city.

 

Plus the Blue Jays pretty much dominate the Canadian market anyways.

Las Vegas is looting the As from Oakland

I agree as well.

Vancouver might be a better spot than Montreal...

[John_Havok]

Vancouver might be a better spot than Montreal...

 

I agree, you just never hear any rumblings from VAncouver of anyone even remotely interested in heading up an effort to get a team there.

 

They have the same kind of stadium issues as Montreal too, an old dump that could be used (BC Place) but isn't ideal.

[jaysblue]

Last I heard, Tampa was getting a new stadium.

If they build a ballpark on the waterfront in St. Petersburg or in downtown Tampa, would be a lot better.

BC Place isn't ideal agreed. They would need to build a new ballpark downtown somewhere. Vancouver would be a better option than Montreal IMO.

I thought about this also. Seems logical if another major sports team is coming to Canada that it would be in Vancouver, but they failed with the Grizz (I don't really remember why) and never seem to be rumoured when there are talks of baseball expansion. You would think that Vancouver would be able to support an NHL, NBA and MLB team though.

 

That said - I was today years old when I learned that Montreal is the 2nd largest city in Canada.

Vancouver is also full of f***ing pansies so that doesn't help when it comes to sports stuff

 

Basically, Montreal is full of douchebags and Vancouver is full of pinkos. Only Toronto through sheer size and a solid humble immigrant population can support major sports other than hockey.
