Around Baseball 2024

Hmm I thought this was an easy W for the Mariners. Ray's contract is terrible. DeScalfani only has 1 year left and Haniger has two. Ray has 3 years and over 70 mil left.

 

It is an easy win for the Mariners. Ray is coming off TJS, and doesn’t represent much surplus value, even before the injury he didn’t.

Yeah, it was a dump, if they don't get another arm, this just means their broke.

In 2016, considering fly balls and line drives hit to right field, at Yankee Stadium there were 115 home runs hit in 502 such PAs, for a HR% of 22.9%

 

Ignoring Bonds, there were 15 HR in 587 at AT%T in 2001 = 2.6%. so if you hit a line drive or fly ball to RF, you were about 10 (!) times as likely to homer at Yankee in 2016 as at AT&T in 2001 (if you're not Barry Bonds).

 

In 2001, Bonds hit 33 line drives or fly balls to right field at AT&T resulting in 17 homers. Considering he only hit 33 such balls that year, there's a hard cap at an additional 16 homers, and he obviously wouldnt have homered in all those extra chances (and he wouldnt have homered 170 times in 33 PA obv), but he probably would have hit another 5 or 10.

The Ray trade has triggered another reason why I'm frustrated with the Jays FO. That particular trade I wouldn't have done from the Giants' perspective. But I appreciate the spirit of it and what they are trying to do.

 

In lieu of signing Ohtani or a big name FA that would have broken the bank, the Jays have shown a willingness to use payroll space creatively to both add to the roster and build prospect capital in the past. Most notably using Francisco Liriano. The IKF signing felt like a half-assed attempt at filling the roster and using up payroll, like a path of least resistance. There are a ton of broke teams out there. Why haven't the Jays taken advantage of it? Maybe they are trying and we will see something by the start of spring training that saves this offseason. But it just doesn't feel like it will happen.

If there was any doubt left, it's gone now. He's never playing another MLB game.

"My girl, if my team realizes this it could cause problems for me, it is a rule in all teams not to talk to minors and, nevertheless, I took the risk and I loved it," Franco expressed in a screenshot of a conversation on the WhatsApp platform with the teenager, who appears on page 569 of the 595 of the request for coercive measures against Franco and the minor's mother, Martha Vanessa Chevalier.

 

Furthermore, in the extract, Franco recognizes that the young woman is just a girl, he even asks her to let herself be raised by him in her own way, when she is there she demands him.

 

"I would like you to forget everything you have learned to raise yourself my way" — Excerpt from Wander Franco's conversation with a minor

 

 

100% grooming, case closed. And he knew it was wrong.

 

Is it ok to call Wander a pedo now??

[connorp]

He’s definitely looking like brown toast. Good thing Jim was greedy and wouldn’t take intriguing offers when he could.

 

I wonder if Jim had to pick against one thing happening: Wander never plays another game of baseball, or a certain man becomes President, which Jim would rather not see happen.

[connorp]

I sent Jim an offer for a 6th. He can save some faces and turn this around on me for rostering the guy.

[L54]

Jim, Dick and Connor need to read that entire thread. It’s actually disturbing

 

Full blown pedophile

 

MLB needs to come out and issue a lifetime ban from any sanctioned event, as obvious as it seems

The mother is every bit as bad as I originally imagined if not even worse.

Lol considering how many sexual assault allegations that certain President had levied on him, this is a weird af post (amongst other reasons).

 

Good riddance to Franco btw, what a f***ing creepy pedo POS.

Sounds like the mom was a hooker

And mom trafficked the minor

And Franco came along and knew exactly what he was doing from the start. Knew it was wrong, admitted same in writing, even had mom sign an NDA or something.

 

And this is just one of the complaints...

[Jimcanuck]

Sadly this is commonplace / par for the course in DR. The big difference is the pedophile (by US and CAN standards) Franco is also dumb.

Check your 1994 census

 

You might be this kids grandpa!

Yes good job Detective Max I was wrong she wasn’t poor as s*** she is a whore

Show up to moms house with lawyers to have her sign an NDA to bang the daughter

 

Wander tells Jane Doe that he could get in a lot of trouble if his teammates found out

 

The girl is 15 now, so 14 at some point in this saga. Maybe 13 even

 

Bought the mom a car when he took the daughter from her home without her permission

 

Jane Doe says mom treated her like an object

Again, you don’t really know this at all. You’re just speculating

 

Like you could say the same thing about the United States and technically be correct

 

Clearly the pedophile standards are similar in the DR or why else would anyone there care?

Legally yes, socially, not so much

Damn.

Brantley is the umpire we need.

[L54]

Brantley was one of my favourite fantasy players to own. Just a great pure hitter

[Frenchsoup]

Brantley won't get in the HOF but he's damn close in my mind for all of the grinding at bats he had. Good d before the shoulder injury in Cleveland.

[Frenchsoup]

Red Sox looking to move Yoshida, that's a Niceee bat.

Yeah same. A guy you could plug in every day and he'd contribute something almost every game. Not a lot of 0-4s.

[Jays24]

 

Damn, that's impressive. It's like being a talented version of Biggio lol.
