    Great point. I suppose they could move him to 1B if not.
  2. Northern Star
    $25mil/year sounds reasonable until you realize it's for 13 years if there's no opt out. And guaranteed he will fall off a cliff sometime before the 2020 election winner's term is out.

    Is it 1998 again already?
  4. Northern Star
    Me neither, unless, say, a fifth foul ball is an out. But it seems unfair to punish hitters for uh-uh-uh-uh, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

    In the past I said I'd consider cutting games down to 7 innings. I forgot how many more no-hitters we'd get as a result. Keep it at nine.

    I'm aware he was replacement level, to me that doesn't matter. Either this is a "rule" you honor or it isn't. And cp, given his lowball original payment, that is the definition of an *******.

    I think it was the same game where I put the season mode on easy setting and Vladimir Guerrero had 90 HRs before the end of May. Let's be honest, where's the fun in playing a baseball game unless you're winning every game 38-0?

    I had a baseball videogame about ten years ago, forget which one. I could often quite easily throw out someone at 1B on a ball hit to RF.

    The only ones I hate are the ones running the Canadiens into the ground.

    Yankees had a chance of Stanton and their greedy little piggy eyes lit up.

    #shoegate. Also, this is exactly the kind of reason why I will never pay Superbowl prices to attend any sporting event. Not. Worth. It.

    Padres have always been a nothing franchise to me. Can't like them, can't hate them, they just exist.

    Is this Cano to the Mariners Pt 2? Nice addition, but what's around him?
  15. Northern Star
    Which will decline quicker?
  16. Northern Star
    I'll go on record predicting the Padres will regret this, depending on the opt out or not.
  17. Northern Star
    Harper and Machado.

    Those against changing rules for extra innings, as though the current arrangement is so sacrosant: Have you forgotten how far baseball has evolved since its beginnings? Evolution is not to be feared when it's born of necessity, and 18 or 20 inning games are unacceptable - too much risk of injury, and burning through bullpen arms, all to score 1 measly run. If the season weren't so long, with so many games and teams playing almost every day of the week, maybe you'd have a point that lengthy extra innings here and there is not so bad. But that's not the case.
  19. Northern Star
    Absolutely not. Your argument lacks logic. As someone else pointed out, both leagues played with the same rules for decades. Nothing changes once they play with the same rules again.

    And of course, the Mets GM used to be deGrom's agent. No conflicts there at all...
  21. Northern Star
    To me, this is a dangerous territory if players under contract refuse to play because they are "protecting my future earnings." Try getting that past your boss in your own job.
  22. Northern Star
    I read that deGrom and his agent are thinking of - what? - sitting out some games to protect his arm? Kinda like LeVeon Bell. All because the Mets haven't given him a longterm deal.
  23. Northern Star
    Total ******* only now paying up because he got called on his ********. Caddies normally get 10%. http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/26005383/matt-kuchar-apologize-caddie-pay-full-50000
  24. Northern Star
    Still not signed? Aw, what a shame.
  25. Northern Star
    Nothing worse than players announcing their retirement before the season starts. Way to make it all about you. I think at worst case he's a borderline candidate, and he probably gets in eventually, but not first ballot.
