Ammat The Ankh posted:According to reports, David Price got into an altercation with Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley last month over a comment made about another pitcher during a broadcast. I feel like both sides should probably let this go. Price overreacted majorly but Eck's "Yuck" at Rodriguez's numbers wasn't cool, either.

A realistic color guy/announcer is a good thing (Jesus loving Christ I hate Rex Hudler), but having those guys travel directly with the team on the same flights and stuff seems unwise. e: Like, let the players get into media mode when they talk to media and not have them have to spend their travel time with those guys. Price likely doesn't go off as badly in that case. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jul 24, 2017 |

I don't disagree despite my comment I just feel like Eck could have found a better way to say it. I agree 100% about the travel aspect.

Oh yeah Eck didn't handle that the best either, I was more talking about how the arrangement probably made the whole thing worse than it should have been.

Interesting deal, hopefully Ruiz turns into the next Fernando Tatis Jr. for San Diego. The Royals are covering all of Wood's salary through 2018 as well, could be a decent reclamation project. Overall I think it's a good deal for both teams. ColdBlooded fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Jul 25, 2017 |

what is the most infuriating baseball thing a team does: I think it's stranding guys on the bases but I also think it's having a shaky-rear end bullpen when you say oh no it's that rear end in a top hat and then watching them just destroy a lead, especially if one of those guys is your closer and (purely hyopthetical and not at all referring to my own experiences) has really dumb goggles or extra digits on his pitching hand.

Man, Corey Kluber has been lights out since the start of June, keeps it up and he might challenge Sale for the AL Cy Young. Also, I want a dang C or RF for Cleveland before the deadline

When they implement robot umps I hope they have physical robots behind the plate that look like Johnny Five from Short Circuit, each dressed in tacky umpire outfits from different eras and their own personalities with algorithms that increase the likelihood of calling balks or ejecting players based on a whole range of silly traits. 1890's Umpbot really hates Irishmen and I'm sorry, Andrew McCutchen, you shouldn't have mouthed off to him.

Alex Meyer pitched 7 innings of 1 hit ball against the Nationals last week, so naturally the Angels had to put him on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. Good poo poo. Anaheim is where all young starting pitchers go to die.

The hatchets are definitely out for David Price but I think it's disingenuous to pretend the guy doesn't have a reputation as a thin-skinned whiner dating back to his time in Tampa when he bitched about David Ortiz owning him or something along those lines Like idk maybe if you don't want your fee fees getting hurt you should not play professional sports for millions upon millions of dollars? And maybe not throw a hissy fit when an actual, literal Hall-of-Famer doesn't suck your dick in the broadcast booth? I figure this will be an unpopular sentiment but whatever, I'm Team Eck.
