rickiep00h posted:As soon as players and managers catch the drift that they won’t get ejected they’ll argue any and everything because they’re gigantic children. The game would grind to a halt. Sorry I don't want to derail much but, That article is from 1997 during the height of Japan boom scare and is dumb as gently caress. White people need to save baseball from THEM. quote:The Japanese and American versions of baseball are as different as sushi and a McDonald's fish sandwich: the same basic ingredients, but adapted to suit two extremely different cultures ... American major leagues are filled with strong personalities and flashy individual performances. Japanese baseball is cautious and dominated by group behavior, with lots of sacrifice bunts, endless on-field conferences and plodding strategy in games that routinely last four hours. Maybe I am reading to much into.

I guess maybe I’m asking too much in a thread where the NPB is routinely referred to as AAAA and its players are regularly fetishized (in a sport where ethnicity, especially on the west coast, is used as a marketing tactic) that my equally-ridiculous suggestion and hyperbolic follow-up would not be taken at face value. Especially when the original mention was “they should make a movie of this story.” I guess I done Poe’s Lawed myself.

Its not like, a weird opinion at all.

Tampa Bay Rays continue to fail at tanking beating the Yanks and Astros in successive series because gently caress me I guess. I actually feel bad for teams who are in competitive races that have to play us and its like 50/50 chance you face the team with lock down defence, pitching and clutch hitting or the team that has 1 decent starting pitcher and no outfielder hitting above .200.

I'll say that my expectations for the Rays did not involve them being above .500 in July. They're fun as hell though.

N: Six times in major league history, three teams have won 100 games in the same season, but never four. The Seattle Mariners, with the fourth best record in the AL, are on pace for ~100 wins. V: It's going to be a very cool second half. I want two 100 win teams in the AL WC game.

question about rosters. Say I have Joe in AAA and Bob in the majors. Can I switch them back and forth every day between the teams? Is there a limit how often you can move people back and forth? (For this question assume regular season and ignore travel logistics). There's too many rules I don't know what's going on

If you send someone down to AAA, you have to wait 10 days before you can call them back up. However, you can recall them immediately if there’s an injury and someone has to go on the DL Most players that are coming up for the first time have options, meaning that a team can send them up and down without exposing them to waivers where any team can claim them. Typically, young players have three option years, but no one is really sure as to what those eligibility rules are. Rule of thumb is that this only affects your marginal players and not really your star young pieces Hope that helps

Carlosologist posted:If you send someone down to AAA, you have to wait 10 days before you can call them back up. However, you can recall them immediately if there’s an injury and someone has to go on the DL So when a player is put on the 40 man roster they will have 3 option years. A option year is used if they spend 20 or more days on a minor league roster. As long as they have option years they can move freely between Majors and the lower levels as much as a team wants. Once all option years are used in order to move a player to the minor leagues the player is put on irrevocable waivers, if no team claims the player they can be moved or traded. But if the Player has five years of major league service time he can refuse demotion and the only thing a team can do is trade, or cut that player. I love baseball transaction rules. I can't wrap my head around European Soccer. Reserve teams, Under 21 clubs, Loans, And transfer window.

The movement rules in baseball are pretty simple, it's just that finding people's eligibility for certain things is nigh-impossible for us laypeople.

Yeah, that's really nice. Finding option years left or Rule 5 eligibility is a complete shitshow 99% of the time.

What are the largest contracts that just ended up getting eaten? Boston's contract with Sandoval and the last couple years of A-Rod's are the biggest ones that come to mind for me.

Josh Hamilton's last 3 years of his Angels contract totaled $78M, that might be the most unless you're willing to count the last 6~ year's of Pujols' contract as them eating it.
