Almost all of the huge deals in recent years are for younger guys that play premium infield positions. Trout, Betts and Harper are the only OF contracts you can compare and even then all of those guys were younger with a better health record at the time. I think the Yankees offer puts him somewhere in between Trout and Betts, closer to Betts, and that seems more than fair

Phillips walk off happened when that kid was like 5 or 6 and he's an incredible goofball, why wouldn't that be a 7 year olds favorite player? And if we're being honest, he's likely not going to be expensive to keep around so there's not much worry over Tampa unloading him

Nodoze posted:They had a shortened spring training due to the lockout, so his pitch count isn't built up. How many pitches do you really want him throwing in his first start of the season after he couldn't even pitch in the playoffs because of an elbow injury Yea, it'd be really lovely to see Kershaw's elbow explode over a perfect game. It's not like he really needs one to cement his legacy and if he does, he practically threw one already in 2014 Perfect through 7 is awesome as hell though, kinda like Bumgarner's no hitter except better

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:I mean what the gently caress is the point of competing at all if you’re this risk averse? I guess we'll just have to disagree then. He's coming off a season ending elbow injury that also cost him 2 months earlier in 2021, PRP injections, a short spring training and it's the first week of the season. I think there's a reasonable level of risk there if his goal is to stay healthy for the next 6 months. This is all moot anyways since Kershaw himself thought it was the right move so who the gently caress cares, it's his body Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Apr 14, 2022 |

Hunter Pence and Katie Nolan did the Angels/Astros game last week, I like them both but I dunno that Nolan did a whole lot of broadcasting, it was more cracking jokes and asking some really dumb questions at times. A lot of people seemed to hate it.

The Pussy Boss posted:The A's will be fine. Beane blows up the team every few years, and always gets them back to contention in a year or two. I think he enjoys the challenge tbh. Yup. They were the best team in the division at the start of Trout's career, tore it down and finished last for a few years and were back to a 97 win team by 2018.

I dunno that I agree with the call based on intent but I do think it was heads up baseball by the A's there and you're taught since little league to turn into foul territory for that reason Even the first base coach is pointing at the bag, presumably telling him to get back on it Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Apr 21, 2022 |

Trout wasn't qualified either until a day or two ago. I feel like there's a lot of similarities between Mike Trout and Byron Buxton, mostly that they both whip rear end at baseball when they're able to play e: jesus, Buxton has a .946 SLG Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Apr 25, 2022 |

Gorman Thomas posted:Chuckling at all the pre-season regression projections for Trout. Everyone saw Pujols/Miggy decline in their 30s and applied the standard model to the greatest right handed hitter to ever live. Pujols/Miggy have 4 seasons combined, out of 42, that outclass Trout's average season. Unless he gets injured, Trout is putting up a 200+ OPS+ this year. And he's rocking a sprint speed of 29.6 ft/sec at 30 after missing a year with a calf injury that he initially thought was an Achilles. He could still swipe 30-40+ bags a year if he wanted to. The king

Hand Knit posted:I swear we saw a combined homer a couple years back. Batter hits it out but it’s initially ruled a double. The now-runner is pulled for a pinch runner, then the play is reviewed. The hit is ruled a home run but since the switch was already made, the pinch runner completes the run. Not sure but I'm intrigued by the possibility. I remember many years ago when Gabe Kapler was on base when a home run was hit and he ruptured his achilles rounding second base. He had to be subbed out and the pinch runner started at second to finish the home run trot

FlamingLiberal posted:I was surprised the other day to see how young Jo Adell still was His bat has been fine this year other than the first week slump. He's completely lost in the outfield though, his first step is legitimately the worst I think I've ever seen. The unfortunate thing for Adell is that Marsh has been pretty good this year and looks considerably more comfortable on defense and the other two OF spots are locked down with Mike Trout putting up Taylor Ward type numbers this year Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 18:32 on May 2, 2022 |

FlamingLiberal posted:A 706 OPS is fine? I think so, yeah. He's got a 105 OPS+ and basically struck out every at bat for the first two series this year. By comparison, Kelenic's OPS is 200 points lower I'd love for him to be an all star caliber player already but the defense is much more of a concern than the offense imo

the ump that tossed Bumgarner apologized https://twitter.com/JesseRogersESPN/status/1522710110837121024 quote:I would like to address my actions on May 4th involving Madison Bumgarner. When I began my MLB career almost 15 years ago, I received some good advice. I was told to umpire every game as if my children were sitting in the front row. I fell short of those expectations this week. While I can’t go back and change what happened, I take full accountability. I will learn from this incident, and I sincerely apologize.
