    Corbin is locked in today. Loaisiga looked really good.

    That is a far more complicated issue. We don’t “need” baseball. We need education

    Myocarditis is life threatening. It’s the kind of complication that could scare the MLB into shutting down
  4. jacksonianmarch
    Dealing with myocarditis due to covid 19. This is heart inflammation that can cause myocardial stunning leading to low ejection fraction and heart failure. Viral myocarditis usually resolves, but covid 19 is new and we don’t have good data on the likelihood of improvement. I only sincerely hope for a speedy recovery. This disease f***ing sucks

    Paxton doesn’t have his usual velocity today. Something to follow as the season goes along, but 91-93 is not usual Paxton

    Good start for the Bombers. Didn’t get to watch

    He’s getting $27 mil this year. In new money, it’s 12 years $353 mil. Just under $30 mil per annum. The dodgers decided to give length over AAV and Betts decided to take the highest guarantee. This offer is 2 years and $53 mil richer than the Sox offer in terms of new money

    That’s what it looks like. Jordan was a fringe first round talent, so if you consider he’d be around #25 or so if signability concerns aren’t taken into account. Consider their first rounder is really a second round talent. Now you’ve gotten first and second round value out of your first and third round picks.

    I’ve told you from the winter meetings, the Sox are tanking 2020. If you had to pick a year to tank, this is the one. You reset, you get Sale back next year and you rebuild.

    Mookie has always bet on himself. He will one year 2021 and get a huge payday starting 2022

    These forced quarantines in the US have provisions for travel for work related reasons. Baseball players will be exempt while performing their work. When they get back to their hotels, they’ll be forced into quarantine

    Even though the Yanks were the prohibitive favorite and losing a full year without tolling contracts would be devastating for us, I’m there now too. I’ve got bigger fish to fry than to worry about how Cole pitches or Judge hits
  13. jacksonianmarch
    Yeah, I am seriously doubting the ability of a season to get underway. Even though, the likelihood is these players will be entirely fine. But the coaches and the umps are at risk. Last thing we need is half a team to be asymptomatic and Dusty Baker getting killed by this

    He’s been ordered to flight school. Minor leagues aren’t happening anyway, so he isn’t getting a waiver

    The Sox just cheated better than the Yanks.

    Baseball has the most dichotomy between have’s and have-not’s. The long term owners aren’t as rich as the newer term owners. The game isn’t as translatable to younger people so established teams are the only ones who will have loyal fan bases. There are teams in places nobody should be (Tampa and Oakland). There are places where there should be teams where there aren’t (San Antonio/Austin, Las Vegas, and Charlotte). I get that Manfred needs to speak for the majority of the owners and the owners don’t want to lose money, but he also needs to understand the best interests of the game. If the owners lose some money in 2020, but save their sport, then that’s better for the long term value of their franchises.

    The problem with unsealing this is it does nothing that we didn’t already know. I agree the league was doing something BEFORE the Yanks and Sox got caught and were warned and got fined. Teams that continued that practice got punished. So either the yanks have been really super secret good about electronic sign stealing or they stopped doing it. The only thing this letter will elucidate is how the Yanks stole signs. It’ll be intriguing, but it won’t do anything. Punishment was already levied

    Manfred is the worst commissioner in sports.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    He is EXCELLENT at creating a system that knows its players better than they know themselves. He always seems to lose a deal at the time of a trade then ends up being the winner. Every, single time. He isn't the best drafter, but he knows how to dangle his pieces and who to keep. His trades launched the Rays into the playoffs last year. Don't forget, he was at the helm when the whole opener idea came to fruition as well.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    I am going by the unwillingness of the MLB to let it be unsealed. Hence, I am assuming the Yanks cheated using electronic means.
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Also, maybe Bloom just got lucky, but he gets lucky an awful lot. Eventually, guys who are continuously lucky are actually just really good at reading the percentages and making the higher percentage, although sometimes unpopular, move

    Betts was dealt after the first case of COVID was diagnosed in the US. Many, many health care professionals (myself included) had predicted that it would spread here around that time. I do wonder if COVID played a role in the eventual deal.
  23. jacksonianmarch
    I would love to get back to the days of a Yankee loving troll! Lol. The letter from 2017 proves what we already know. The Yanks cheated by electronic means in 2017. The Sox did too. They both were caught and fined. They then both were made an example of. The league used their example to warn the rest of the league. The slate was wiped clean. The Astros kept doing it. The Sox did it in 2018. If the Yanks did it after being caught, they’ve done a REALLY good job of hiding it
  24. jacksonianmarch
    I do not believe they were stealing signs beyond their warning in 2017, at least not using electronic means
  25. jacksonianmarch
    He was intent on punting your season. And if the MLB season does end up at 75 games or so, it would be the smarter choice. What you’ll get out of Verdugo and Downs long term will be worth far more than an abbreviated Betts season and the final 3 seasons of Price
