Captain Adama

Im gonna go out on a limb here and add Kopech to the overhyped, great stuff, s*** command pile of pitching prospects. Ala Tyler Glasnow, Robert Stephenson and Kyle Crick.

I have no idea who those guys are.

Well... Greene, Tellez and Foley probably suck.

The Vernon Wells deal was precipitated by the fact that Tony Reagins called AA for Wells. At that point, it was a no brainer to unload Wells' contract onto the Angels. The major problem with AA was it that he was awful at rounding out rosters and his teams' depth were poor, so when injuries hit, those teams were particularly vulnerable. Plus, he still had trouble looking at advanced analytics and thought that signing guys like Cordero, Vizquel and De Rosa were good ideas because of the vetrin presents. AA deserves credit for what he's good at; and that's being thorough, that's why opportune deals for Donaldson, Rasmus and Morrow happened. Donaldson basically saved his tenure from becoming a total bust and leaving at the end of 2015 as a joke, instead of revered (?). And I've said this before, but it's not the prospects themselves that he traded away which is a problem, it's the poor use of the prospect capital. There were better players to trade said prospects to maintain a younger core instead of trading for old, expensive contracts that any idiot could've overpaid for on the free agent market.

Representing your country well would be being good at your job. Like Farhan Zaidi.

Yup, and this coming after Shapiro says they're probably not gonna land OhtanI. People are building themselves up for disappointment.

Greene is pretty much dead to me at this point IMO.

Seattle has been bad offensively for 10 years and nothing has changed.

Me and one of my Korean colleagues at work both talk about baseball a lot. He's a huge baseball fan and follows a lot of Korean and Japanese baseball along with MLB. Told me the story when he moved here in 2006 that when he chose the English name Roy after Doc watching him pitch during that season. I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

I read the comments to this article and saw this: Roy Halladay: 76 ERA- 78 FIP- Greg Maddux: 76 ERA- 78 FIP- Holy s***.

I'll remember the game I went to against A.J. Burnett with the Yanks in 09, Burnett lost it around the 5th inning while Doc outlasted him and went the distance. The atmosphere was the closest playoff atmosphere I ever had before the actual playoffs.

I was gonna plan to drive to Cooperstown to see his HoF induction speech. f*** this is just the worst.

Holy s*** this can't be real

Oh f*** no.

Did you know that 78% of all statistics are made up?

Seems like it could be an overpay. Especially if the market for hitters is similar at all like last year.

Forgot about him. At least that fat f*** doesn't get a ring.

Love it.

Bad: Baseball season is over. Good: That World Series was as good I could've asked for.

Lol Rangers fans gunna be salty as balls.

At least Handsome Jake gets a ring.

Morton has been a monster.

All hands on deck, keep it at 5

You're not missing anything.

As has been demonstrated in this series. A 4 run lead is hardly insurmountable.
