The Giants' projected 5th starter, Tristan Beck, has an aneurysm in his pitching arm and probably needs surgery. Now would be a cool time for them to sign Blake Snell.

I don't follow a single Yankees account. This one was from defector Barry. I also don't follow Schwab, who is the really mad guy, but I do follow dozens of other Astros accounts. https://twitter.com/barry/status/1763604009355534584

Just wondering if anyone has read The Tao of the Backup Catcher. Looking for a book for my cousin's kid who's 15 and catches for his school team and loves baseball. He's actually into books in general, but the reviews say it's repetitive and gets boring. Also, there was another book with a similar theme on catching that I read about here maybe a couple years ago, if anyone remembers the title I'd appreciate it- thanks.

Tim Federowicz was just on EW and he apparently wrote a book called The Modern Day Catcher: Embracing Innovation for Excellence on the Field that is supposedly accessible for a high schooler.

I was gifted The Baseball 100 which I've been enjoying very much, something of a history lesson of MLB told through 100 of the greatest players of all time. I don't agree with all of the rankings necessarily but the prose is consistently interesting and - very importantly - the author correctly believes that Ichiro is the true hits king and not Rose.

The importance of the hit record to Pete Rose personally is one of the reasons I like recognizing Ichiro for it instead

Giants sign Marson Chapman? https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1763789557378560236 our biggest need at this point was a SP but I'll take it!

it definitely makes the team better, but "sign chapman to a short term deal and, idk, trade jd davis for a back of the rotation type guy" feels like a lot more work for a lot less payoff than just "sign snell lol"

Probably about as close as a guy who's made near $100M in his lifetime and is still due tens of millions more can come to understanding that capitalism is dumb bullshit hell bent on taking away everything good in your life to shave a fraction of a penny off the cost of doing business at all times at the expense of anything else.

Boras is sort of stuck in a situation where he has not enough buyers, but he's still eating well with these opt-out deals and the overpay he got for Lee. If we presume that a player opt-out's value is worth equal to another year, which 'feels' about right to me, I'd rather take three years with opt-outs every year than a six year deal. I don't think Boras was willing to go lower than that. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Mar 2, 2024 |

The Apple games got perfectly mediocre for national games last year. There’s still some stupid branding and nonsense but they clearly recognized what they were doing wrong the first year and hired actual baseball tv people in front of and behind the camera. Now it’s no worse than an ESPN game. Except of course for having to pay an additional fee for it. But loving ESPN threw a NY Rangers game on ESPN+ this winter so gently caress them too.

I’ll be curious to see if Boras has to do the same kind of deal with the pitchers as well It makes a certain amount of sense that he had to resort to what are essentially pillow contracts for Bellinger and Chapman, because the market for position players is always going to be smaller. But every contender needs another high-end pitcher, so in theory he should be less willing to bend on the other two. On the other hand, the clock is ticking down if these guys want to be on an Opening Day roster, and the teams have been successful at not meeting his demands this offseason I wouldn’t want to go six or seven years on Snell, but if the parameters of the deal are now a three-year deal with opt-outs, the Braves should absolutely be in on it. Push Lopez, Elder, and the young guys further down the depth chart and give yourself some insurance against Sale and Morton’s health

Acuña has "irritation around his meniscus", will fly to California for treatment (with the doctor who did his surgery before) but isn't expected to miss time yet.
