    Or a trade for an All Star 3B, or both.

    shoot out in hockey would be more the same to a HR derby. the ghost runner comp is already in place in the NHL with 3 on 3. It's not the perfect apples to apples but it's designed to accomplish the same thing, someone gets a goal in less than 5 minutes.

    Probably, clearly im no pitching coach, but having both a cutter and a slider seems like it wouldnt be ideal. Both pitches move glove side, slider is slower with a bit more break, cutter is harder with less break. With his decent change, I would think shelving the cutter in favor of the slider would be a good place to start, or shelving the slider and keeping the cutter.

    I'd almost like to see the Padres land him just so Hosmer and Myers rot on the bench with their contracts.

    March 15, 2022 - Mediation begins Today, the University of Lethbridge and the University of Lethbridge Faculty Association (ULFA) begin a new mediation effort. Mediation is scheduled for multiple dates this week, and we are hopeful it will lead to a resolution that invites students and faculty back to class soon. The University remains committed to settling an agreement that respects the value of our faculty, honours our responsibilities to students, and protects the University’s fundamental need for financial stability and long-term sustainability. We will keep students and other stakeholders informed about mediation updates as they become available. f***in clowns...

    Sure, my post was more tongue in cheek than anything. I'm sure both Kikuchi and Jansen both realize his cutter got demolished last season, so whether he likes the pitch or not, there likely needs to be some changes. Granted, it was only his second season using the pitch, as he only started using it in 2020 after dumping his horrible curveball.

    Gratz bud. Start the knuckleball grip early and she can be the first female MLB pitcher.

    I'm sure Pete Walker popped over after he saw the tweet, pointed to one of his sheets and said something along the lines of "uh, no."

    Its impossible to have a constructive converstaion with you in many cases. When your mind is made up, literally nothing can be said to change your mind. Im not even disputing the ghost runner being a dumb idea, just your assertion that the players are doing it out of some malice to the game and the fans. They just want to get on the plane and get to bed sooner without it screwing them over for the next 3 days. It's a perfectly normal human reaction to avoid stressors that can be avoided.

    If he signs, it will hit 100 easily unless everyone is too busy rosterbating
  12. John_Havok
    Sounds like he saying he’s never asked and will never ask to have his no trade waived, but wouldn’t necessarily say no if they asked him to waive it again?
  13. John_Havok
    Yes, I’m sure all the players just gathered up and decided to like something purely to spite the fans and their experience.

    There's lots of ways to make a contract look good to Freeman also. Give him 6 years, front load it, then an opt out aftger the front loaded portion. Something like 6 years 180, but make the first 3 years ... 37 million (just picking a number) with an optout after 3 - leaving 3/69 left ...... or first 2 years 40 million each, leaving 4/100 left. If he's still raking, he likely opts out and the Jays then got the best remaining years out of him anyways.

    "The players want to do less work at the expense of the fan experience at a time when baseball desperately needs more fans." I don't think that has anything to do with it, nor is it "animosity" between owners and players. They agreed to do it in the COVID shortened season in order to minimize added problems, and it turns out the player's really liked that it ends games faster. I doubt it's any more complicated than that.

    I swear I read that as "licking balls" the first time.

    Hazel doesn't get any scoops on married players with smokin' hot ex-model wives.

    I'll add further clarification: 1. Carlos Baerga 2. Giraffe Neck Guy 3. Anyone else on social media 4. 50 feet of crap 5. Morosi

    My guess would be travel. Playing even a few extra innings when needing to fly out that night to play again the next day in another time zone would severely f*** up your internal clock.
  20. John_Havok
    One would have to think that signing Freeman... does that push them into making that one last blockbuster deal... trading for J-Ram ? Pushing every chip in the middle for the next 2 years?
  21. John_Havok
    I'm pretty sure youre gonna s*** eaither way... thought the timing may be different

    THe people who make the decisions seem to disagree, especially the players playing the game. They appear to be the side driving this. "The extra innings ghost runner might be sticking around in Major League Baseball, report Jayson Stark and Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Players, who “heavily support” this new feature from the last two seasons, tell the reporters they expect it to be enacted this week with the announcement of health and safety protocols. Though the automatic runner on second base in extra innings was originally put in place as a COVID response, ultimately the players like it because it has mostly killed the marathon extra innings game. Stark and Gelb note that the apparition may not necessarily appear in the 10th inning, but instead could surface in the 11th or 12th. With the National League adopting the designated hitter this year, baseball traditionalists are doing plenty of grumbling this week."

    4:01pm: Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic reports (on Twitter) that the deal also contains a player to be named later. He adds that Cincinnati believes that still-unknown player “enhances” the quality of their return.
  24. John_Havok
    the f*** kind of return is that for Winker and Suarez? THat's embarassing

    2:28pm: Suzuki has not chosen a team yet, according to Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times, who says six to seven teams remain under consideration. Jon Heyman of MLB Network names the Padres, Dodgers, Red Sox, Giants, Mariners, and Cubs as some of the teams still involved.
