Dude - the results speak for themselves. Mr. Armseat QB.

Who didn't they extend today? 1 game and we're turning in the manager? Unreal.

Little's career might be over. I feel sorry for the guy.

I believe he does? 1 left?

Is Little broken? Or getting unlucky? (ducks)

Looked like a hyperextended knee to me.

Reminds me of Scott Kingery - but he was coming off a great minor league season (albeit he was already 23 during that season).

There are also books you and buy with questions and suggestions that you can give your parents and ask them to write down stories/thoughts/memories/etc. I did this with my parents a year or 2 ago. Not sure if they have written anything - but I hope they have!

Parker is a 19 year old who just finished High School. He's at least 2 years away, possibly longer. Apparently he's also added 20 lbs since being drafted. Highly doubtful he plays MI at the ML level.

Crazy because the A's are going to score a lot of runs this year...

He just looks like this cool and collected veteran. A guy with confidence in his game.

My kid said the same thing! Are they available to the public?

Jesus!!!!

Springer put a charge into that too. Clarke is like Devo out there man.

The legend of Ernie Clement continues to grow...love the grit early on.

That's an incredible read. How can you not be romantic about baseball and how can you not LOVE Ernie Clement? Ernie's the new Pillar and I'm all for it.

Vlad level stupid?

Teaching opportunity. Does nobody recall the IKF experience last year? MI depth matters FFS.

c'mon - is this true? I must have missed that.

Bonds said tonight that Steinbrenner called and offered to make him the highest paid player in baseball when he hit free agency - but said he had sign by 2 pm (I forget what time he said it was, but it didn't give him much time). Bonds said "excuse me" and hung up. Later signed with SF. I also found it wild that Adames was the first Giant to hit 30+ HRs since Bonds did in 2004. That park is hard to hit bombs in.

I don't either - this is bizarre.

What do you think you were "right" about? Simply that the FO would DFA Jimenez over optioning Lukes? You want a gold star for guessing correctly on something with a 50/50 outcome? If you're suggesting this was an obvious move and there's no way they'd consider optioning Lukes - I don't think this result confirms or denies that at all. MI depth is a real thing - especially for a team that will be contending in a VERY difficult AL East. I fully expect the FO looked at this in depth before making any decision. How'd Leo look this spring, how'd Kasevich look, play and fit in - is he finally healthy? What other MI's might be on the waiver wire this year? How'd Schneider look defensively at 2nd? This move comes with risk and god knows you'll be the first in line to sh*t on the FO if Gimenez breaks his leg and Kasevich's back becomes an issue again - or Schneider is back to hitting .192. The margin for error this year is razer thin. We have OF depth at the ML level and the upper minors. As harsh as it is, nobody should give a f*ck about Lukes' feelings (and Ioved the Lukes story last year). He's a 31 year old journeyman who's had 500 effective PA's in his career and is more likely to turn back into a pumpkin this year than he is to contribute. Nobody is "right" or "wrong" - it's just whether this decision comes back to bite us in the *ss or not.

Did Lukes make it instead? The Leo decision was almost solely about having MI depth at the upper minors. Kasevich's spring may have eased those concerns enough to take the risk he's claimed. There will regularly be similar guys available on waivers.
