    Yeah but, s*** does start to go wrong when you're fat and stuff. Especially playing on turf. You are absolutely turning the odds against yourself. Injuries are difficult enough to avoid as it is in sports. You don't bet on a young man in this mid-twenties who's a professional trying to make bank and can't motivate himself to get into reasonable physical condition while having unlimited professional resources at his disposal. It's f***ing embarrassing for him or anybody else.

    As much of a kick in the nuts as it feels to get turned down by the prettiest girl in school, there's no way that would have ended up being a good contract. Not even a decent contract. We just wanted the feeling of victory on a major free agent, but if we had come close to those dollars and term it would have been a disaster. There are far better ways to spend money, I just hope Rogers allows the Blue Jays to spend the money despite today's news. Double down on spending on great pitching, trade for a bat and get Bellinger.

    So, that's that. It never really made sense to pick us over the Dodgers. $700 million; insane.

    A) None of the crap that happened on the interwebs yesterday is likely to have any real effect on Ohtani's decision. False speculation and fan overreactions are part of sport. As for Morosi, meh, whatever, I forgive him. Yesterday was fun even if it was much ado about nothing, which it appears to have been. We don't ever get the chance to dream this big with the Blue Jays, I was messaging with friends about the Blue Jays who never talk about the Blue Jays. It's nice to know what that feels like even if we ultimately end up getting kicked in the balls

    The funny part is, from a baseball standpoint this probably isn't even a smart signing. You have a guy who's already on his second elbow surgery in a matter of a few years, even when he comes back to pitch, who knows how long he can do both at an elite level, yet he will be paid an enormous sum of money for a significant amount of time based on the assumption that he does both for at least a large portion of that contract. It's also assuming that his body doesn't wear down in general and his ability to hit at a high level also declines rapidly. Yet, everybody wants him, and nobody really cares about such risk in this moment. The anticipation has built to a fever pitch. The pain of rejection would be significant.

    So today was ultimately about nothing. Dodgers probably still the favorites lol

    My balls can't get any more blue. This needs to end, one way or another.

    This has not been a productive Friday at the office...

    The first thing I thought after he injured his arm is that he's going to want an opt out after 2 or 3 years. Given the amount of money, that might not end up happening but if he's going to get opt outs, there need to be some clauses in there to benefit the team signing him as well.

    It's getting pretty crazy on the interwebs. We may exceed Kawhi Leonard levels of insanity. For the first time I'm actually believing this could possibly happen.
  11. Masterbather
    Why do people have to bring politics into everything?
  12. Masterbather
    Even if you like Varsho, whatever, he's not useless, but I don't believe in trading a highly rated prospect for an okay player, I think you save those guys to feature in a package for a blockbuster piece. I don't like the asset management.
  13. Masterbather
    I actually watched a good amount of Arizona games in 2022, not to watch them but mostly because I was watching for other teams, a lot of Dodgers and Padres, plus other various teams. I probably ended up watching between 50 and 60 Diamondbacks games just in 2022. Maybe 25 or 30 the year before. I'm a bit of a night owl so I catch a lot of West coast games. Dude can play defense but he's not special. I don't consider him impact even in his better seasons.
  14. Masterbather
    Given the talent they had, the money they have, I think they should have done better. I'm not suggesting they're the worst, but they've been here for a while and I would just like to see us go in a different direction. At this point, if you honestly assess where we are and where we're going we're not in a great place. The two best players on the team both have significant long-term risk. One has very little discipline at the plate, the other one is completely lost. The rotation is made of free agent signings mostly in their 30's. They aren't old but they're not young. If there is a window here it's very short and maybe disappearing already. Orioles and Rays aren't going away for a while and the Yankees will rise again. I think it's time to consider a rebuild and you can't do that with the same management team. Obviously, ownership has decided to keep trying so I guess we should just spend and hope to find one magical year in the next couple.
  15. Masterbather
    Well numbers do lie sometimes. Anyone who watched enough Diamondbacks games knew he was a trash bag with good defense. He's not an impact piece. Moreno certainly had value, enough that you could put him in a package to get an impact piece. Maybe not necessarily Soto, but somebody. Truth be told I really didn't expect much this offseason, we don't have a lot of assets left to trade, there's not much out there offensively and I don't believe the Ohtani hype one bit. The one thing we can do is go even more in on pitching. That's where I would spend the money. Get a true number 2, get a good depth vet, get Hader. Offensively, I guess whatever IF bat you can trade for with a Manoah package. Maybe bring in a veteran bat like they did with Belt for a year.
  16. Masterbather
    Go ahead and keep believing whatever religion tells you that this team's management is any good.
  17. Masterbather
    Well if you have all this money for the unicorn then you have money to extend Soto. The point is to trade him as part of a package for a real superstar, Soto or somebody else, but not the trash bag that we did trade him for.
  18. Masterbather
    Well, there goes Soto, as expected. Yankees will extend him and have a killer one-two punch for years to come. Would have been nice to have Moreno for such a deal, but we pissed him away for defensive proficiency. Judge/Soto vs Guerrero/Bo...LOL Meanwhile we are dreaming in technicolour with a unicorn whose value we are being used to drive up for himself and his agent. Fourth place here we come! The slow decline that started after 2021 will see its way into a rebuild in a year or two.
  19. Masterbather
    Ohtani will be a Dodger and I don't like the price for Soto, he'll probably be a Yankee although I don't know why the Padres would rush that deal and not wait for the Ohtani losers to chime in. I hope we don't make any panic trades. We will have to fill holes internally and with short term signings for next year. It could be a rough ride. I'd focus on starting depth and maintaining a strong pen. We will probably have to lean on pitching again.
  20. Masterbather
    Well it goes to show that Cinderella teams can go far but it's rare that they finish the deal. Texas found enough pitching which is all their offense needed.
  21. Masterbather
    Don't know if cuck is used correctly here, maybe simp would be better?
  22. Masterbather
    You really shouldn't have world series caps unless you've actually won the world series. They should have championship series winning caps.
  23. Masterbather
    Eat a dick Philly! Zona to the WS🙂 Happy for Moreno and Gurriel. Good luck boys!
  24. Masterbather
    Filthy stuff
  25. Masterbather
    Looks like he'll be pitching in the WS, so he's good
