No hitter alert in Cleveland. Parker Messick 3 outs away

Way to ruin it :)

 

how does Cleveland keep producing so many pitchers and why couldn’t Shapiro have brought more of that part of the org with him?

It worked! If we aren't winning then no other team will be allowed to be happy. Not on my watch.

Got me how, I have a '79 WS commemorative trophy.  Dave Parker Jersey, original WS jersey, Rick Rhoden signed hat. It's not close, Willie's hat? Lies.

Forbes had the Padres as the 10th most valuable team and gave them a valuation of $3.1 billion entering the year

I'm not going to buy the owners crying poor in the upcoming labor negotiations when their teams are selling for over 25% of their valuations

Garret Anderson died today.  53 years old.  Cause wasn't released.  RIP man - I enjoyed watching you play this game.

Yeah the Padres selling at nearly $4b despite having no local TV deal (I believe their local rights are owned by MLB Now) hurts the owners negotiating power significantly. The biggest reason the owners want a cap is not for competitive balance (they probably don't even care about that) but rather for increased franchise values. Definitely something the MLBPA will be using on their end.

How bout dem 1st place Bucs, beat the Rays for us... 😜

Bryan Abreu (one of the top relievers in baseball the last 4 years):

7.1 innings, 12 ER, 4 HR, 13 BB, 12 K's, 14.73 ERA, 12.29 FIP, and a -0.7 fWAR

Geez what a mess he has been lol. 

Maybe moving into the closers role had some sort of impact. I recall even last September when he was filling in for Hader, he struggled and blew a couple of saves.
