FlamingLiberal posted:I'm reading that Forrest Whitley is still dealing with arm soreness which may be why the Astros went out to get Odorizzi Whitley is never going to reach the majors because he’s an absolute injury factory. It’s practically an art form with him. Shoulda traded him a) when they had the chance and b) when the FO still pretended to give a poo poo.

I’m a monster javelin dog man, but Manfred openly declaring that he doesn’t see a point in defense or pitching via these rule changes is really pathetic. He just wants to be the Commissioner of Batting Cages.

Given how conservative baseball fans tend to skew, there’s no way in hell ballparks are going to be even performatively safe this year. It’ll just be 40k seats full of dicknoses and “I’m holding this beer, therefore I can sit here without my mask on in case I decide to take a drink”.

If you obliterate a bird with a small sphere made of leather and cork by complete accident in a freak occurrence not seen since, you owe it to the tortured ghost of that bird to talk about the incident at any given opportunity. Plenty of guys have won Cys and Game 7s, but only one tallboy has exploded a dove.

That Correa number is laughably low, but an actual hearty lol at the McCullers deal, given how the latter is just as much of a glass cannon as the former. If the Astros rotation wasn’t in such a godawful state right now there’s no way someone like McCullers would have gotten a five year extension. Maybe two or three.

Intruder posted:Man I'm sure enjoying watching Astros fans fall over themselves to explain why 6/120 is a great offer for Correa and if anything it's overpaying him 20m/year is laughable and the Astros should rightfully be tarred and feathered for such a lowball, but I do think a 6 year extension for a guy with Correa’s injury history is a bit foolish. They should have offered a 3-4 year deal with an actual proper salary.

Shiroc posted:The last ASG was packed and people were all over Cleveland. It largely exists in the same place as baseball generally, it isn't a huge cultural event but it is still a big thing for the league and the host city. If the players actually got them to pull it, it would be huge. I didn’t go to the actual 2019 ASG, but I was there visiting family the week beforehand so I went to the Exhibition thing they set up. It was surprisingly decent! Got to see a bunch of Jackie Robinson stuff from the HOF and meet some of the surviving Rockford Peaches.

I tore my labrum ~7 years ago and opted for PT instead of surgery and it still bothers me occasionally if I use my shoulder in just the right way. And I’m not exactly swinging at 95mph fastballs and leaping for catches every day either. Just get the drat surgery dude.

I dunno, I went to a buffet at the Bellagio that was absolutely stellar and had drat near any food you could ever want. I absolutely will not miss regular buffets though. I’ve seen enough kids sticking their grubby little plague rat hands straight into mashed potatoes and chocolate fountains for one lifetime.

Disney buffets are boring and gross (except for Boma because it’s just an awesome sampler of African cuisine) because they’re the default spots for families with kids. The good Disney food is always at the temporary Epcot festival stands or Casey’s because it’s just variations of hot dogs and the place is themed like a 1920s baseball stadium.

I gotta say, after years of PS folks hyping up The Show as the ultimate baseball game I’m a little disappointed in how sterile and repetitive it can get. Though I do appreciate how every between-innings fan shot looks like it was created by aliens trying to interpret yankeefans.gif.
