    Baltimore is f***ed - ignore that s***. When was the last time a team moved the fences back? Shorter fences creates more space for fans - so they go hand in hand. I do agree though that neutral parks are good. Yankee Stadium is stupid - but that said, it's known for it. Just like the monster in Fenway. I think baseball is better for having a unique stadium like Fenway than having 30 generic stadiums.

    Makes sense. Deader ball now and fans want offence. I have to think there are very few people who enjoy a 2-1 pitching/defensive battle over an 7-6 game. Don't get me wrong - fans LOVE a great defensive play, but parks that really suppress offense blow.

    Doesn't he have a steel plate in his ankle from some old injury from 2014 or something?

    Man - we have really taken advantage of international signings. That system is so f***ed up, but I'm guess I'm glad we're taking advantage of it.

    I think there's like an 85% chance the Bears trade down. I think the Bears could trade down twice even! Trade down to 4th with the Colts and then down to like 8th or 9th as teams overpay to move up to grab the last of the top 3 QB's. Bears have a f***ton of holes, so they need to stockpile picks and are now in a perfect position. They can use the #1 pick to fill a ton of them and build around Fields. The Texans are going to miss out on Bryce Young if they don't trade up to #1. Sucks taking the 2nd best QB at #2.

    Don't forget that Tapia's at bats likely go to Belt...

    Nick Altrock was a f***ing legend At age 41 he stepped to the plate and ripped a HOME RUN - just the 2nd of his career after having taken like 6 at bats since his age 32 season. At age 47, in his only plate appearance of the season, he ripped a triple in his first at bat since he was 41 (maybe his first PA since that HR!) At age 52, in his only plate appearance of the season - and his first since the triple mention above, he singled.

    Cleveland got 72 PA's from JD. What on earth did you think the FO was going to get for him? You can argue they ought to have traded him before that season started - but once he got hurt, they were f***ed.

    I should have clarified.... Baseball was really the first to start this but for some reason the consensus was that baseball was a safe place for female fans and most teams went away from it. The bold part threw me off - are you saying Baseball concluded it was already a safe place for female fans (and women already felt that way), so they stopped trying to market that point? Whereas the NFL didn't believe women felt games were safe for them (even if they were), so their marketing was focused on getting the message out that women are safe and will have fun at the game?

    What ball is MLB going to use this year??? Also need to consider the new shift rules are going to increase offense. If we're just comparing runs scored this year v. last year - I think it's going up. Will we be 2nd in MLB in wRC+ and Off? The odds seem unlikely....so how we're going to compare them matters a lot.

    Oh - so the first 6 years was guaranteed, but the last 6 years were conditional on passing an annual physical. Got it. That makes more sense.

    Captain Obvious - this would be an ideal time for you to chime in.

    Man do I feel f***ing old when I look at a list and see David Price is 37, Mike Minor and Zack Britton are 35 and Ian Kennedy is 38.
  14. Brownie19
    I still love the idea of adding Chad Green on a 2 year deal - stash him on the IL
  15. Brownie19
    This report is suggesting the Mets offer was actually 6 years $157.5M? has anyone else confirmed this? He signed for MORE in Minny?
  16. Brownie19
    The savant graphs that Tao of Stieb posted aren't from his slider though correct? That's just his overall page?

    I'm not following this. It's a good point that football is a lot less about the team and more about the 'party' - which certainly seems like a way to draw in other types of fans, including women. That said - every Bills game I've ever been to was a complete s*** show. Not the type of environment you'd bring your wife unless she enjoys the party (albeit lots do) - and certainly not a place I've ever considered bringing my kids to. I have to think my kids would need to be teenagers before I'd take them to a football game - which I always thought was kind of sad.

    Dude has 3 options left. This seems like a good pick up to add depth as our #7/#8 starter. These are the types of holes we needed to fill IMO.

    Should I care who Jimmy Robbins is? This article suggests he showed big league rotation promise - yet I've never heard of him.
  20. Brownie19
    I thought they did this to add another CFer who at least owned a bat.
  21. Brownie19
    I never really thought about that - but I think you're right. Is it? Anyone know why that is?
  22. Brownie19
    I assume you mean NFL?
  23. Brownie19
    Yeah I'm not buying that God declared the NFL exempt from cancel culture.
  24. Brownie19
    Did I suggest the Jays would sign him? I'm just questioning whether the 'risk' is actually real or not. Watson, Vick, Astros, etc. have all somewhat shown that while there is some initial backlash, it's all short lived and I'm not so sure there's actually any financial or reputation repercussions. There certainly are some perceived repercussions and FULLY expect the Rogers won't touch him. I really do have a hard time believing that when it comes down to it that a significant % of the population would have strong, negative feelings about signing Bauer. Again - a team literally just traded a f***ton of assets for Deshawn Watson and made him the highest paid player in football and the face of their franchise after like 22-24 woman accused him of sexual assault.
