Right, Paxton is a top lefty. Like Danny Duffy. Both super studs.
-
mmmm Lester. Mesoraco out. The only guys that can really f*** up Lester's night are himself or Todd Frazier. The M's, meanwhile, have 6 lefties in the lineup against McCarthy and some of them are pretty good.

guys look what happened to me today: http://i.imgur.com/kHMbCZ5.png

I wasn't being snarky. They are very similar pitchers - high GB%, high upside, terrible present skills.
-
fWAR career - Eddie Butler or Aaron Sanchez? Or, fWAR as a SP in career might be a better question.
-
Nose used to turn up at $20. I guess I'd pay $20 nowadays though, although I'm sure there are still $10 lots within walking distance of the RC. Used to be a $10 like one block east of Steam Whistle... now it's a condo

Mookie Day: walks, steals both bases at same time, and scores robs Harper of 2 run HR hits 3 run HR Betts the Best
-
Gonna be killer when Saunders is back. No holes. -
Well the one thing that Houston doesn't suck at might be hitting LHP. But yeah
-
I didn't run any lineups today but I was going to say, Royals and Mets all day. DeGrom should nuke the Phillies + Feast on Trevor May and the Harangutang.
-
I don't think I've ever been looking for starters. Maybe that one time when I traded for Scherzer.

amazing

Bautista for sure is a little bit arrogant. I can't really think of anybody else though. Pompey - Canadian Donaldson - voice too high pitched Edwin - too quiet and humble Reyes - too smiley Travis - too little Martin - Canadian Hutch - too handsome and quiet Buehrle - too respectful Norris - too enlightened and self-aware Norris - too baby faced Dickey - too wise Pillar - too dumb and gritty For real though, I guess Norris is a bit of a doucher and Dickey can come off as conceited. Stroman with his gum popping is a little cocky.
-
It's funny because a lot of Blue Jays fans, including myself, would feel the same way about Baltimore (I don't hate every player though, just some). Hopefully the birds can become long term rivals atop the division. Those shades of Blue and Orange are just made to oppose each other. That's why the Blue-Orange box of nerds is the highest seller.
-
IIRC the ump actually warned the dugouts right after the pitch, so that might have contributed to Bautista's gut reaction that it was intentional. The ump certainly had the sense that it was on purpose. And then Nova sort of chirping back in a "what are you gonna do about it" demeanor might have escalated the situation. I don't really see much to criticize on Bautista's behalf.

Yikes, his velo is way down this year. Most of his FBs were 89/90 today and he only touched 92. Normally sits 92/93. Henderson does the 'show the ball to CF' thing that Matt Harvey does. He also might short arm it a bit (short deceleration path for the arm) but not sure about that. I wonder if mechanics, and resulting injury risk factor, were part of the decision to trade him. FWIW Syndergaard's timing seems a bit off too and he's had a couple of forearm strains with New York. Of course it's not like Sanchez has better mechanics.
-
And his shoulder! WTF Hendo. Entire arm must be rotten.
-
What's more improbable or crazy, Andrelton pulling off this play or doing it right after that specific flashback on the broadcast? https://streamable.com/gcl5

sometimes I forget that you're a troll

Why do you keep going on about their f***ing bullpen? Most of the arms who are pitching tonight threw like, 1 inning two days ago. Wright did them a big favour eating innings during the long game and last night Joe Kelly pitched 7 innings. They also have an off day on the horizon. They're fine.
-
Just in case you didn't already think that things like free agent compensation and competitive balance picks were really, really stupid... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/04/dodgers-os-take-new-approach-in-ryan-webb-trade.html Dodgers basically bought the O's competitive balance pick for 2.75 million bucks. Yay competitive balance!
-
lol Gregorius is a disaster. Shane Greene is legit too.
-
Shame that the first couple of catchers to get injured didn't lead to good Navarro trade fits. Boston in the division, Cleveland likes framing too much. Need Saltalamacchia or someone to get injured.
-
Boogers has looked decent for Boston early on. Guy was as good of a prospect as Mookie before his garbage 2014. Red Sox have just an embarrassment of riches on that side of the ball. I still can't understand signing Hanley AND Pablo. Should have just signed one of them, used the other money on a starter.

People (judges, arbitrators) imply terms in contracts all of the time. It doesn't have to be explicitly stated. They would try to get at the "spirit" of the clause, as best then can, by reading the entire agreement. IMO the spirit of the clause - what the parties had in mind - is that the Yankees would be benefiting from him succeeding and reaching those milestones as much as A.Rod would be. In reality that's not going to happen though. I would like A Rod's chances in an arbitration but I think there's at least some merit to the Yankee's position.
