The Pussy Boss posted:Dereck Rodriguez signed a minors deal with the Rockies. Dude had a great rookie season despite mediocre stuff and peripherals, then fell off a cliff. Hope he can make it back to the big leagues. Makes me remember when it happened to Hee Seop Choi at Wrigley in the early 2000's. They brought the ambulance onto the field.

GPTribefan posted:I’m torn because this is obviously the right move but some of the stats are going to be wonky. A lot of those guys counted barnstorming stats, winter league stats, and traveling team stats so who honestly knows what’s “official” and what’s not. Bill Veeck had a plan to fill his team with the best Negro League players he could find, but the league shut it down once word got out.

TheFlyingLlama posted:because MLB revenues are so much lower! The NBA made 8.3 billion to the MLB's tiny 3 billion! It's the same accounting tricks LucasFilm pulled on the stars of A New Hope. A couple of them had percentage of profits in their contracts. The film has not been profitable, if you listen to the accountants.

elentar posted:Phil Niekro died. Amazing career, probably should've won the 1967 Cy Young on numbers alone but played for a thoroughly mediocre Atlanta team back when 20+ wins was an absolute requirement. Maybe should've won it in 1974 as well. Pitched 330+ innings 3 years running for Atlanta in his late 30s, was still pretty good in his year 45 season in 1984 for the Yankees, and around league average as late as his year 47 season in 1986 for the Indians. Lost it the next year but got traded back to Atlanta so he could make one last appearance and retire as a Brave. A 21-knuckleball salute.

Sydin posted:https://twitter.com/dennistlin/status/1343616195149193218 Yeah, they're rebuilding. We should have gotten more out of this core, but I guess the Ricketts need to give more money to regressives. We're selling as high as we can on him, so we better get a worthy return. I assume the Padres have a good farm system?

Kirios posted:Yeah I don't blame Cubs fans for being irate. I sure as gently caress would be too. This is bullshit - the Cubs should be in the top 5 of payroll every year. Why are they shedding salary?! Our owners are massive chuds who have had their lips firmly planted on Donald Trump's rear end for the last four years.

Popete posted:Launch angle is dumb and striking out every other at bat is boring. This guy gets it. I enjoy dingers as much as the next guy. But this is getting out of hand. Also yes, gently caress strikeouts. Steals and hit and runs are awesome. So is stringing together a bunch of hits in a row instead of just waiting for one of your bombers to hit a 3-run homer.
