Julio Cruz posted:Sure they've known about it, but having his own team post how illegal it is in graphic detail is an impressive move on their part. I highly doubt that this was the first time his delivery was ever shown in slow motion. And his delivery was explicitly approved by MLB until now.

I've seen the usual in-game replays of it, but nothing that close, that slow, from side on. I don't watch Marlins games though so maybe they've focused on it more.

Saw this guy and a few others when they were in Savannah when the Sand Gnats still existed. Very cool guy. Out of the Sand Gnats I've mostly followed him and John Mora, who had the best walkup music on the team.

cis autodrag posted:Yeah. Just about everybody kicks some divots into the outfield grass while they're out there and if it's too loose a rule your going to end up penalizing guys who do it when they're bored along with guys who have a divot for every guy in the batting order.

The gently caress? Hayward was increadibly highly regarded by a ton of teams and got a huge amount of offers. This is some of the craziest revisionist history I've ever seen.

The Cardinals offered him more money than the Cubs (without an opt-out). Also it's 11 ABs in spring training so I wouldn't quite jump the gun on declaring Heyward a lost cause.

Braves fans would have told you that he'd go into deep slumps that would drive you crazy, especially at the beginnings of seasons, but the hot spells and the consistent defensive wizardry made it worth while. That said, he never really fulfilled the promise of his rookie year (mostly because of a steep drop in his walk rate) and the 2014 season made it clear that his inconsistency could stretch out long enough that Freeman was clearly the better bet in the long run.

Technically Huston Street's delivery is also illegal under the new rules because his pivot foot leaves the rubber as he goes from one side of the the plate to another.

Jung-Ho Kang received an 8 month sentence in South Korea for his most recent DUI case, but apparently it's a suspended sentence (for two years) and he won't be going to jail unless he breaks the terms of his suspended sentence. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/03/jung-ho-kang-sentenced-in-dui-case.html

Thank christ we finally blew our prospect load on another frontline pitcher in Sale or we'd be turbofucked right out of the gate.

The only reason the Wilpons are still involved in baseball at all after that whole scandal is because of their connection to Selig, and Manfred is basically his puppet
