    Subtitles- it’s in the settings (the little cog)
  2. Bobthe4th
    That’s what your phone is for haha. I guess some of you may be at work (it’s already the evening here).

    TBF no adverts is refreshing.
  4. Bobthe4th
    Go full screen? I can’t see any.
  5. Bobthe4th
    If you say so! I’ve been annoyed at them so far. Who are the others?
  6. Bobthe4th
    The whole broadcast feels like a knockoff version of the Show. Crap graphics, s*** commentators, and embarrassing social media.
  7. Bobthe4th
    Who are the commentators, I missed the beginning?
  8. Bobthe4th
    This does not sound like a good plan:

    No idea mate, IMO going forward Gurriel has a better chance of being successful as the roster’s utility guy than Urshela.
  10. Bobthe4th
    Gurriel is eligible to return tomorrow, so he might be called up again if Diaz isn't ready.

    Pun intended?

    IMO a convicted paedophile shouldn't be allowed in certain professions, (mainly public service) which includes being a professional sportsman. There's nothing stopping him have a productive, happy life in a more appropriate vocation - he could be a Catholic priest.

    Yeah the details are much worse than inappropriate playing or anything like that. Plus taking place over a 2 year period not a one off incident. The Oregonian broke the story when he failed to re-register as a sex offender after turning 21 at a new address and so he was called to court and the paper found out. Link to story - The Oregonian "Most juvenile cases are kept sealed. But Washington considers the type of crime Heimlich committed to be so serious that the records are not confidential for juvenile offenders. And since 1997, Oregon has required people convicted of felony sex offenses elsewhere as juveniles to register as sex offenders here."

    Michael Saunders has been given another minor league chance, this time with the White Sox.

    There are also rumours that Ohtani will be in the homerun derby. He could be selected for the All Star game as a DH and as a pitcher as well. How awesome would that be?
  18. Bobthe4th
    Only 1 player has managed a hit on an Ohtani splitter this season:
  19. Bobthe4th
    He pled guilty to abusing his niece from ages 4 to 6, and the abuse only stopped when she told her parents (the 6 year old knew it was wrong). It seems incredibly unlikely that someone would plead guilty to being a paedophile when they were innocent. Unless Osuna literally tried to kill his girlfriend, then yes this is worse than a 22 year old punching his girlfriend. Basically there's zero chance a MLB team signs Heimlich.

    I disagree. That’s not quite what I said - I said that 30 days service time shouldn’t be too onerous to reclaim over a 5/6 year period if it’s still an issue by then.
  21. Bobthe4th
    See above re punting a year, and yes I think it’s important. Yes, there’s still a chance he won’t be able to play 3B in the majors. If he doesn’t succeed there he can be at 1B instead. But obviously he’s more valuable as a competent 3B than a 1B. Your injury scenario doesn’t make any sense, it’d just delay his call up. If he was called up now, you’re giving up on him playing 3B, while wasting service time this year as a (negative) bonus.
  22. Bobthe4th
    Nonsense. Everyone knew they held Bryant back solely back for service time reasons, and they were critised at the time. Splitting it into 3 (or more) stints wouldn’t make a significant difference, especially if they didn’t do it at the beginning of a season. Everyone would still know it’s a service time issue.
  23. Bobthe4th
    It shouldn’t be too onerous to reclaim 30 days service time from a September call up. When he eats himself off 3B then send him to the minors for a month to learn 1B, haha. Alternatively sign him to an extension, or just option him for a fortnight for the next 3 seasons.
  24. Bobthe4th
    IMO the ideal situation is that Vlad is the starting 3B in 2019. I don’t think that happens if he’s called up now (because he won’t play 3B). Handing him the job going into 2019 with him never starting in the majors at 3B is a risk. IMO if it wasn’t for positional uncertainty he should be called up now. But if he’s not called up in September it’s solely for service time reasons. If he’s called up now it burns a year, but a month in September is a lot easier to reclaim if it’s still an issue over the next 5/6 years (i.e. no extension or rule changes). I think his development is more important than making the 2nd wildcard this season, or service time considerations. If JD is traded or long term injured at any point then yes call him up, but if there’s no space at 3B then no.
  25. Bobthe4th
    Because the minor league season is over by then, Vlad deserves a call up and will have had 3 more months of 3B practice by then, and if he’s going to be the starting 3B in 2019 a month long audition is a good idea. We’ve had this conversation multiple times! I appreciate that you disagree.
