Danger Co is looking for some starting pitching. After the flurry of IL moves yesterday I am now down 60% of my starters and saves guy.
Fringe guys/6th SP types welcome.
Thanks
Such ******** the average fan can't watch a Yankees vs Blue Jays game on a Friday night. Especially since we have a reduced schedule vs AL East teams..
If BTS said anyone for a Fantrax Re-draft league, I might do it just for shits and giggles.. Even though I am a pure Dynasty guy..
I was in this Yahoo league one year and I just couldn't stomach dealing with Yahoo and having to switch platforms for my other leagues.
I didn't see all the uniforms, but the Japanese, Mexican and US teams looked fine, no issue. The quick blurbs of photos I saw from the DR and Venezuela didn't look too bad either..
The WBC needs to institute minimum uniform regs and or governing body approval for next time. GB was pathetically bush league. I am being 100% serious when I say my 7 yr olds little league uniforms look more professional and upscale then GB. Canada's absolutely sucked also.
Not that Canada is known for fashion ( I have seen too many French Canadians in Florida with tight cut off jean shorts to know that). However, Canada's uniform sucked balls also and they need to do better. Both GB and Canada looked bush league, with GB looking like something done in an 8th grade Home Econ class.
College football is an experience and a social event in the U.S males, females and non-binary alike party their asses off on game day and have a great time socializing pre game,during a game and post game.
Homecoming is awesome at a good school. The Florida vs FSU games are some of the best sporting events I have ever been to. Tailgating, drinking kegs at the law school and listening to music blasting from fraternity row on a beautiful October day in Gainesville and watching a game at the Swamp surrounded by Orange and Blue is a an fnnnn awesome experience... It is all about the experience even if watching at a bar with friends, eating wings and drinking buckets or pitchers... You should try it!!
Do you watch junior hockey, AAA baseball, CFL? You never watched any of your high school teams?
Friday night High School Football games in the South are probably bigger than the pro level in some other sports. People have a connection with their school or a school for whatever reason.
$$$$$$$ March Madness has been ingrained in American Culture for years. Everyone from the senile old President down to the housewife doing Pilates has half an eye on the bracket. Either they are in an office/friends pool, like an underdog story, are alumni or friends or family are, or just out of curiosity.
The WBC is relatively very new and takes long breaks, doesn’t have a long play in like soccer etc. I like the WBC, but it needs to develop the brand in the US.
So my older son's elementary school is doing an online auction this week to support extracurricular activities etc. One of the items is this below.
“A DAY WITH JOSE”
A private 2 Hour baseball training with former Oakland Athletics outfielder JOSE CANSECO for up to 4
kids. Location will be Sycamore Field in Danville. Each child will receive an official MLB signed baseball at
the end of the training.
OR
A round of golf with former Oakland Athletics outfielder JOSE CANSECO for up to 3 adults. Location will
be Chimera Golf Club Las Vegas. Green fees and cart rental fees included. Travel expenses excluded.
The online auction started today and ends in six days. So far the bid is at $1K USD.
I'm not bidding on this one.. I did bid on 4 Oakland A's tickets to any game except black out games. Planning to go when the Jays are in town.
They used to do that. In this case I understand he didn't show up at the airport. The way these regime's control defecting and have indebted servitude etc in most cases is threats against family members remaining in Cuba, China or wherever.
If this guy didn't have any family in Cuba to use as leverage then lucky him and you think they would have kept a higher vis on him...
Leave the poor guy alone. He comes from a long line of Flutists. That is how they took last names back in the day, by their trade. Painter, Bridges, Mason, Stone, Baker, Farmer, ********** etc, etc.
He is not wrong in his statement- Tell me how to get the batter out. I have heard it straight from MLB players mouths, there are pitchers with great spin rates but are very hittable. I see too many guys on here who just look at a pitchers percentile and say FB velocity etc and equate that with an effective pitcher. There are batters who hit guys hard with statistically good spin rates. There are batters who can turn on 101 mph fastballs, batters who can lay off a 95 percentile break curveball etc, etc.
So yea, tell me how to get a batter out..
