It absolutely does. Would it have been preferable to win the division and lose our only postseason series?
-
And I’m not so sure the old fashioned calls to kill the umpire are all that present anymore. But you just can’t express the same level of frustration by yelling “Decommission the robot!”
-
d) for said efforts, he was paid $13 million, and is still owed another $11 million for next season…
-
And, if you are a “glass half full” type, it makes zero mention of the umpire’s family…

Akil Baddoo was coming off a season with a .683 OPS in A ball in 2019 at age 20 followed by a missed season in 2020. Age 20 Gilberto Jimenez posted a .751 OPS in A ball this past year and probably won’t follow it with a missing season. So, yes…

Not really an everyday player, but Astros closer Ryan Pressly had all of 27 innings above A ball when Minnesota selected him from the Red Sox in the Rule 5 draft. Jimenez could be taken. But if I was in Bloom’s position, I might gamble that he wouldn’t be as well…

Can't root for the Astros, despite their origins of being named after George Jetson's dog.. Not after 2017. They are fit to take their rightful place right behind the Yankees, sharing a bench with the Jets, Dolphins and the Lakers, on my Hierarchy of Loathsome Teams...
-
Launch/angle and exit velocity are things I’m ok with hearing about afterwards, but I don’t like that teams practice optimizing them. It takes away a whole type of hitting. What do you suppose the average “launch angle” for Rod Carew was? 0 degrees?
-
Akil Baddoo not only was selected out of A ball, he wasn’t even very good in A ball..
-
What about teams practicing with bats loaded with sensors to optimize launch angles and maximize exit velocity? It’s not an in-game thing, but it is an instance of technology changing the existing game…
-
Just so you know, there is not a single MLB owner or GM interested in acquiring your left nut. You might need a better bargaining chip…
-
Well, you also might be unable to perform your job due to injury or just not being good enough anymore by age 25…
-
To be fair, he was quoting Max….
-
Not to mention, the owners are clearly getting their ROI. My biggest gripe with the Players Union is that they ignore all the minor leaguers- you know, the players who actually do need the protection.

Well, Hamilton as never a question of talent. He was a question of patience and tolerance. He also took a 3 year hiatus from baseball before he was selected. Former AL HR champ George Bell was also a Rule 5 pick...
-
It still would be umpired by humans. This is not about replacing anyone. Track and field has used automated timers for decades. Do you think that sport has been overrun with automation? And that’s one sport where the automation actually replaced the human officials. MLB is not going to replace anyone
-
Unless you count tennis, track and field, and horse racing. Also, MLB will still be officiated by human umpires…

The one thing I do appreciate about Little Caesar's is the price. At least they are not pretending they have quality stuff and are charging accordingly. They should drop the "Pan pan" crap and change their slogan to "It's $5. What did you expect?"
-
Google refuses to help me convert Che-Hsuan Lins to acres. Just another flaw with Google...
-
I would say the worst is Pizza Hut, just because their abominable product development team once put hot dogs in the crust. If the US is going to continue to use the death penalty, it absolutely needs to be applied right there. I have never had Cici's, despite there being one of those dumps just two blocks from my house...
-
Everyone hopes to find the next Juan Soto in A ball. Maybe one of these A ball guys can actually make the leap, but I wouldn't base the 40 man roster on it. If the Sox do protect him, his option years start counting, which can create an even worse situation down the road when they expire and he has to either play in MLB or become a free agent. No way he gets protected, and if he actually gets taken, the Sox and the selecting team might be better off just working out a fair trade for a high risk/high reward prospect...

I just said I'm not sure it was not related to his grandfather's health!!! And I don't even know if he has any living grandparents!!
-
If Vazquez is not back next year, it will be 100% related to his option just not fitting the budget. But if I had to put money down on the situation, I'd be betting on his return...
-
Over a brief stretch a couple weeks along, anythng could be a factor. Maybe Castro had the sniffles or a tummyache, while Maldonado was perfectly healthy? Maybe Castro missed too many meetings? Maybe Maldonado worked out better game plans. Maybe Castro couldn't focus because his niece wasn't feeling well or his grandfather was sick. It could be something completely unrelated to baseball...
