ITYM "ensue"

Oh come on ump. what a perfect pitch.

And sorry about your friend. holy crap.

Not common like they are in Oklahoma and Kansas

Yep Morrow seems healthy with good velocity. Even at his best he was prone to outings like this one. Jeffress needs to DFA and Rogers should be mop up only unless we lose like 2 starters to injury

Dirk's first article and it's actually pretty fascinating How Known PED Offenders Are Treated Within a Baseball Clubhouse http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2010558-how-known-ped-offenders-are-treated-within-a-baseball-clubhouse

LOL @ this "Small sample size" song

Add "almost no tornadoes" on the list of Good Things About Living In Canada

God this picture creeps me out

When you say it like that, I'm all like: http://host-34.242.54.159.gannett.com/images/640/360/2/assetpool/images/130908060340_jose%20reyes.jpg

Did we ever face Tanaka in ST??

I'll take Melky

Good things: Hutch awesome Bautista hot from day 1 Melky killing the ball almost every at bat Lind looks good Much improved defense

Yep. Feels like a .500 ball club or slightly better, and far too dependant on Reyes and Morrow being healthy and good than I would like.

Indians Extend Jason Kipnis By Steve Adams [April 4, 2014 at 7:27am CST] The Indians announced that they have extended second baseman Jason Kipnis to a six-year deal that runs through the 2019 season and contains a club option for the 2020 campaign. Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports (via Twitter) that Kipnis is guaranteed $52.5MM over the life of the deal. According to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian (on Twitter), the Beverly Hills Sports Council client receives a $1MM signing bonus and annual salaries of $2MM (2014), $4MM (2015), $6MM (2016), $9MM (2017), $13.5MM (2018) and $14.5MM (2019). The option, according to Bastain, is worth $16.5MM and contains a $2.5MM buyout. Kipnis entered the 2014 season with two years, 69 days of service time, meaning he would have been under team control through 2017 without an extension. The new contract buys his final pre-arbitration season, all three arbitration years and a pair of free agent campaigns with an option for a third. His contract is worth $500K more than fellow breakout, All-Star infielder Matt Carpenter, who inked a six-year, $52MM contract with the Cardinals in Spring Training (Carpenter had two years, 12 days of service at the time of his deal).

Every single GM in baseball would have happily given Romero that contract, at that time. The Happ extension is the only one that bothers me

LOL I can't believe he never came back (at least I don't think he ever did)

Agreed on both counts. Was just trying to be funny.

Needed in case McGowan disintegrates tomorrow

I think he just disappeared for 4-5 months again

Forum slow as f*** (Prob all bandwidth being used by ECJF complaining about yes and no answers to yes and no questions)

Ill second that I feel bad for Goins, hate seeing him struggle and get upset with himself. But mostly I'm mad at AA for going in to the season with him as plan A for 2B in a big season
