loving :lol: at calling pounding shots until 4 am and then missing practice on the day before you're scheduled to start "having a few drinks on your day off." Harvey was certainly supposed to be going over scouting reports and coming up with a game plan on Saturday, but he decided to be a manchild and blow off his responsibilities.

And let's not act like there isn't years of history here, davecrazy's Harvey meltdowns the year they went to the WS were about him skipping/being late for practice.

Yeah I tend to agree, though the Mets sending security and actively antagonizing him in public makes him sympathetic.

 Hard to have much sympathy for someone who's almost 30, making $5 million a year while sucking and acting like a manchild. The Mets get me there though.

He was always under team control for 2018, we just know the rate now.

The Nats beat writers seem to agree that the huge price tag also represents a show of good faith from the team w/r/t signing him long term after that. I think he'll go to the team with the biggest offer like every other Boras client (except Stras!) but this at least means there won't be any bad blood.

I look forward to seeing him in a dodger uniform

 Why is Arrieta dead? What happened?



Also, where the gently caress did Kershaw's slider go?

I'm expecting bone bruise and day-to-day for Freeman, if it was a hamate bone break they probably would have spotted it on X-ray without needing a CT. Then again the hand has a ton of tiny bones.

Subtle carpal fractures are quite often occult on X-ray. You're still probably correct.

They definitely solicit ASG nominations before the season even begins. Andre Ethier is on the ballot despite being on the DL since spring training and currently having no timetable for return.

Whoa what year is it

I had to laugh during the Cubs game yesterday when they were talking about running into Scott Boras while in Los Angeles and how he went on this huge rant about how Jake Arrieta is still an elite pitcher.

Um, Scott, I know your job is to get the most value for your client, and you're very good at this, but his arm's been dead for the better part of a year.

He's just upset his gamble to not sign a deal after 2015 has horribly backfired

Arrieta was still saying in spring training this year that he fully expects to sign a seven-year deal, and I remember last year he was telling one reporter that "aces get seven years" and specifically pointing to Strasburg, and after the first two months of the season, all I can say is :lol:

I guess last laugh is on us cause he will still get a bajillion dollars in free agency.

 Batters should start charging the mound after dramatic strike outs imho. If the pitcher's circular walk around the mound is a little too long.
