Way too many blowouts right now for a team that should be relying on strong pitching and D.

Not a chance

Of course they care! They even emailed me to ask if I was purchasing a quarter season package this year

Lol truth

He’s ready

I miss when this team was fun to watch, even if they were losing. This team (the 2023-2024 edition) is barely watchable even when they win

I tried to warn you

These Rockies are pretty good ngl

I don’t think he’s been properly ramped back up after the injury.

This is gonna be a back and forth game all night innit

Basically what Brownie said. 3/80 for Bellinger is fine, worth the risk that he still sucks. 6/150 is not worth the risk, even if he has a good 2024

Poopoo at bats by George and Vlad there

From what Dan just said on broadcast, seems like this is what’s happening.

Sadness. All we need from him is to be a league average bat. The guy he was in AZ. Why does everything have to go wrong for us on the offensive side.

Won’t feel dope when we’re still struggling to score runs and the games are all very close

Of all the awful contracts the Rox have handed out over the past few years, this one might be the most puzzling

Agreed

For the record, I think Bellinger on that 3/80 contract is fine. I’m saying he’s a potential landmine though if he has another solid year and opts out.

Best case scenario would be that the dude turns out to be a meddlesome owner like Arte Moreno, and they tie up a billion dollars in guys like Bellinger, Chapman, etc.

Really hoping this doesn’t point to a silent Gausman DL stint. Maybe its finally time to punt Mitch White? Or can Francis be optioned?

I’d love to extend him for like 5/40 or whatever it looks like. Hope for 1 fully healthy year and he could put up like 4-5 WAR and earn the entire contract in a single season.

Yeah glad we actually have official news/docs and closure now. Hope this doesn't hang over his head needlessly

Yup, seems like Ohtani actually was the victim here. This is pulled from the official investigation documents: Between November 2021 and January 2024, more than $16,000,000 was transferred via wire from a checking account belonging to Victim A, a professional baseball player, with an account number ending x5848 (the “x5848 Account”), held at a domestic financial institution (“Bank A”).1 These funds were transferred to bank accounts of associates of an operator of an illegal sports book (“BOOKMAKER 1”) Recorded phone calls produced by Bank A related to the x5848 Account show MIZUHARA falsely identifying himself as Victim A, and attempting to trick and deceive Bank A employees into authorizing wire transfers from the x5848 Account to associates of BOOKMAKER 1. Bank A records show that MIZUHARA accessed the x5848 Account pretending to be Victim A and transferred funds to associates of BOOKMAKER 1. In particular, on June 20, 2023, MIZUHARA accessed the x5848 Account from the Central District of California pretending to be Victim A and wire transferred $500,000 to an associate of BOOKMAKER 1. Finally, on March 20, 2024, MIZUHARA sent BOOKMAKER 1 an encrypted text message admitting that he (MIZUHARA) had stolen funds from Victim A. Pretty wild.

Yeah its one of those things where he PROBABLY broke the rules to the letter of the law (if he paid of Ippei's dept as a friend), but he didn't morally break the rules, which is kinda the part that matters to MLB

Jansen is super underrated IMO, dude just can’t stay healthy. He will 100% have another DL stint this year
