https://twitter.com/MikeTrout/status/1640351955984809985 Nobody needs more golf courses, but Trout is building one in Vineland, NJ. Vineland is weird in that so much of it is unchanged since the 70s and 80s, but there's also a ton of undeveloped land that was probably super cheap.

bawfuls posted:I mean an Astros fan trying to mock a Yankees fan as unfamiliar with championships is a pretty funny stretch. It’s been “awhile” in Yankees terms but like cmon now, zoux walked right into that one. The Astros were a poverty dogshit franchise until they figured out how to tank pretty well a few years ago and have won based on that and a good deal of cheating. Their fans, especially in this thread, are getting a little too big for their britches.

zoux posted:I can understand why you might not recognize it but that's a championship banner! Meanwhile all is good in Twinsland, look at how the roster is finally healthy after last year's injuryinduced implosion: quote:Trevor Larnach, Jorge Alcala, Sonny Gray, Bailey Ober and Ryan Jeffers are among the key players who had strong, healthy springs after battling injuries last season. And in general, the Twins are in much, much, much better injury shape than they were in August and September. quote:Jorge Polanco and Alex Kirilloff are starting the season on the injured list with problems dating back to last year. Byron Buxton is going to be limited mostly to designated hitter duties early on as he returns from knee surgery. Kenta Maeda looked wobbly this spring returning from Tommy John surgery. Tyler Mahle’s velocity continues to fluctuate. Josh Winder has been moved to the bullpen, and sent to the minors, as he tries to get his shoulder healthy.

It was a good enough dig just like it's a good dig when people post that "cowboys superbowl pics" meme where it's a floppy disc even if their own franchises are far less successful It also succeeded in getting mcmagic to slip from "the yankees are a dogshit run franchise" to "kiss the rings" which is also funny e: Bregor posted:Trout just making sure he has somewhere to play in October lol Intruder fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Mar 29, 2023 |

The Athletic ran interviews with a bunch of folks aeound the league about the Billion Dollar Shortstop Class:notcashman posted:“The league is at a crossroad,” one executive told The Athletic. “Do you want the league to be represented by just these giant markets? And then [small-market teams] sort of become the Washington Generals? And they just beat up on us, and that’s OK? Or do they want true parity in the game?” goodguy Trea posted:Turner hoped to fulfill his sense of obligation to the MLB Players Association, securing a deal that would pave the way for others. With the eye-popping numbers of his contract, he did just that. posted:“It’s over 25 percent of the league that is spending what (small markets) think is Monopoly money,” said a partner in one club’s ownership who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “I think they’re saying, ‘It was bad enough when it was like a couple of people, but now it’s like there’s a whole gang of them out there.’ The smartest man posted:It is Seidler, of course, who underwrites the frenetic pace of Preller’s deal-making. After years of supporting one of the sport’s smallest payrolls, the Padres have grown to the point that this year they will pay into the revenue-sharing system. Seidler downplayed his role in San Diego’s transformation. Get, and I cannot stress this enough, hosed posted:“From an industry standpoint, it became more of a prevalent thought in my mind that small-market teams are going to have a hard time ever having a Hall of Famer again,” Royals general manager J.J. Picollo said. “Because when I say a Hall of Famer, I mean somebody who goes into Cooperstown with your logo on their hat. You start to realize those (chances) are few and far between. It’s going to be harder and harder for a small-market team to have that type of player.”

Angels win the Cactus League while missing Trout and Ohtani for most of it. Surely we will break .500 this year.

I'll have to get back to you on that Edit: In 2016 Ohtani's Nippon-Ham Fighters lost the Japan Series to the Hiroshima Carp, the Cubs will right this injustice and he will be BACK Popete fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Mar 29, 2023 |

And the Royals have little room to bitch about how unfair the league's salary structure is when they've poo poo the bed in every draft for the past decade. Draft better and spend some money you cheap fucks. And not on utter garbage players like Jordan Lyles and Ryan Yarbrough.

bawfuls posted:Greinke is 100% a blank-hat guy If he had won a World Series elsewhere I'd agree but Greinke likes KC enough to spend the last few years of his career there knowing it means he'll never win a ring. I think he gets KC their second member of the HOF. He's my favorite player but I'll never stop being amused by him demanding a trade because the team sucks and the Royals using that trade to build a World Series winner while he tries and fails to win a ring elsewhere.
