Currently $80 USD on the hub. Still probably a bit over face when including transaction feed, but basically face to get in the building tonight.
Check again at 6:30!
The offseason is for personal growth and productivity.
Baseball season is for anger, joy, beer, gaining weight, cursing MLB.tv, refreshing twitter 60 times per day, and bleeding from the eyeballs.
The Alford HR was already posted but Fangraphs added something about his speed:
They also have video of the swing! Very nice.

How do we read this? Is there so many that the price may plummet before game time, or is the secondary market so hot that it is driving the number of resellers?
It's really not complicated. You said - "I think we'd have a better chance of beating the Cubs. The Giants playoff track record is legit."
I said the Cubs are absolutely better, implying that I'd rather face the Giants.
We're talking about maybe having a 55% chance to win vs. maybe a 50% chance. Some very small, nearly insignificant difference.
You explicitly cited the Giants track record in the playoffs as a reason you don't want to face them. That's irrelevant! Pure cognitive bias.
And for the record, the "statistical data" that you would need to support your position is that past playoff success = future playoff success. You didn't do that.
I am right and you are dumb I know it's hard to admit.
I don't see the relevance of anything you posted. You posted an undergraduate paper? I think it's good that he stayed within his word limit and double spaced it. Probably got an A.
MLB playoff series are too short for teams to be strong favourites. Even with big talent differences, any given series is close to a coin flip. It's a fun bundle of randomness.
Only a mental midget like yourself would see a team win twice in four years and think something special or predictive is actually happening.
The Indians are platoon freaks. I wonder if they will start their RHB platoon outfielders (Rajai and Guyer) or their LHB (Naquin and Chisenhall) against Marco.
Will be interesting to see.
