I will never purchase Occidental Energy. AP has an interview with Manfred about taking over local broadcast rights from sinclair, but he also drops some tidbits  I guess it makes sense the players like it, I don't like having to work late either zoux fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Intruder posted:e: I guess Bregman and Altuve both only have two years left on their deals Correct https://twitter.com/brianmctaggart/status/1624075865926561792 Also Kyle Tucker lost his arb hearing and will be paid $5m this year. I think he was seeking $5.5, dunno why the club didn't eat that paltry amount to encourage Good Feelings

Kyle Tucker was looking for 7.5 mil, which is still well below his actual value. Not sure why the Stros would mess around with him, he’s a key piece if they’re going to extend the window.

I'm sure the Astros and Braves had very good, logical reasons for not paying Tucker and Fried a small amount of money more and this will not result in them leaving via FA

You can surf any time (I mean, I'm not any good, but I'd surf all the loving time, any way, if I lived there). From what I understand, until the last few years there had been no major climate or fire events in decades. It's just really loving expensive. Your NL and inter-league division rivals (Rangers aside) all live in pretty cool places, too. Who gives a poo poo if your baseball team is good?

I'll be in Phoenix March 9-12 for spring training and realized today the World Baseball Classic will be playing games there - so now we've got tix to see Team USA play Great Britain at Chase Field on Saturday March 11. I've honestly never paid much attention to the WBC - do the starters typically play the whole game? They're playing a Round 1 game against the Great Britain team so I expect it to get out of hand pretty quickly but it'll be fun to see a game at Spring Training that "counts". Do players assigned to the WBC typically play spring training games too or do they stay with the team until the tournament is over? We're seeing Dodgers/Giants on Saturday so it's safe to assume Mookie isn't going to play that game and the WBC that night. Exodor fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Batters will generally play normally, there's pitch count limits on the pitchers that ramp up as the tournament gets further along and top out at 95 pitches for the final round. The players are with their national team and not at spring training with their professional club.

It is insane to me the leap that Javier made last year. Imagine your middlest reliever all of a sudden becoming an unhittable staff ace. He had 18 IP in Yankee Stadium and gave up one hit.

https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1624138982240952325 Sure why not. Kinda funny that we're picking him up now as a bullpen flier when years ago I remember rumors about the Cubs seriously trying to trade for him as a front of the rotation piece before pivoting to Quintana.

He spent decades in a position where he could impose his authority however he wanted and no one could do anything about it so retirement is especially hard on him

Random dumb offseason thought: Someone posted elsewhere on social media about the longest last names in MLB history and how cool it is to see names curve all the way around the back of a jersey, and it has me thinking that it's a drat shame baseball isn't a big sport in Thailand.

Yeah dude was on a 1.5m deal and was getting $750k annually yesterday https://twitter.com/astros/status/1624182343576522752 Also maybe he wanted a little something nice for himself. It's funny his nickname is El Reptil because every time I see him off the mound he's got that grin on his face. zoux fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Feb 11, 2023 |

Yeah, getting that up front pay is probably real nice. Getting that first 10m is such an overwhelming change in overall wealth compared to going from 10m in career earnings to 100m. I can see why signing away a few free agent years makes sense to so many players - even Ozzie Albies and his kids will be set for life despite how underpaid he is under that extension.
