    1shot elimination games tend to bring that out
  6. John_Havok
    Stroman really struggling with command of his breaking stuff
  7. John_Havok
    Well, it's gonna be a short ballgame if the hitters don't start making the pitchers throw strikes. A lot of really over aggressive approaches so far
  8. John_Havok
    Not sure what's worse... referencing that movie or that I got it.

    How does one know they won't like it until they read it?

    Maybe, but what you can't see in that picture is that he's actually trying to choose which of 5 naked sorority girls asses to spank with that ping pong paddle. Spoiler alert... he spanked them all.

    I think we can all agree he had Hall of Fame talent and he will have a presence in Cooperstown, whether or not he ever officially gets elected to the Hall.

    Regarding life insurance for ballplayers "Each player has life insurance through the league that pays $1 million plus 75 percent of their salary in excess of $1 million. The total is not to exceed $30 million and the club is the sole beneficiary." So players lives are insured, but it's meant to cover the team to offset costs of guaranteed contracts that they would still be required to pay out (he only had the pro-rated remainder of this season left as guaranteed money since he would have been arbitration eligible for the first time in 2017. ). It specifically states that no heirs are eligible for the death benefits. http://www.businessinsider.com/uniform-major-league-baseball-contract-2011-4#-8 So any life insurance payouts to the family would have to be received through an individual life policy if he had one.

    I'm guessing he was a long way from medical attention at the time?

    I looked into it after I read it too, apparantly after your appendix bursts it's not a necessity to have surgery to remove it, it just tends to shorten recovery time and reduce the possibility of complications. Mortality rate is a lot lower than I thought, apparantly it's actually rare to die from a ruptured appendix unless you get absolutely no treatment

    I get the logic there, but why didn't Boston do the same thing with Ortiz then at any point? I know it was a different GM at the time, but still they didn't even give their franchise poster boy that kind if money, so I doubt they do it for Edwin
  16. John_Havok
    So it turns out Bichette didn't actually gave an appendectomy. His appendix burst and his body just.... absorbed it according to the man himself. No surgery was performed. What a boss http://m.milb.com/news/article/20160922202752584/jays_bichette_with_brazil_joins_podcast

    These no doubt here in Lethbridge AB, the majority of fans are Jays fans. I see hats and gear everywhere. There's still Red Sox and Yankees stuff too, but it's greatly outnumbered
  18. John_Havok
    I doubt either guy gets more than 3 years guaranteed, Edwin maybe 4 tops. Teams are alot smarter now when it comes to aging players in the mid to upper 30s that aren't especially athletic anymore (like Edwin) or are still athletic but can't play defense for s*** anymore (bautista). Both are 1b/DH types now though you could still toss Jose out in RF occasionally for flexibility...I'd say 3 years 54m would be as high as I would go, and I'd much rather see 3/48 or something close to it... Ortiz is pretty much the benchmark for Edwin and since his age 34 season he's been between 13 and 16 million Per year, and all on short term deals and options. Beltran wouod be the comparable for Jose amd his recent 3/45 deal,he was 36 when he signed it, so there's that I honestly think even 20 million AAV is a pipe dream for both guys
  19. John_Havok
    This straight up sucks. He was supposed to start today's game, which has been cancelled by MLB. The right move considering neither team is in the playoff hunt
  20. John_Havok
    And high socks
  21. John_Havok
    Or when spelled backwards.... Wow!
  22. John_Havok
    Pillar did it last year too, was the only guy
  23. John_Havok
    Good question. Jose Iglesias is also doing it this year and worse than Pillar
  24. John_Havok
    No he didn't. He fought off balls 1 through 8.
  25. John_Havok
    No s***. Bunch of ****s
