The Beast

I am a bit behind on the times, but I have questions about NBA free agency. What are Bird Rights, the amnesty provision, max deals, mid level exceptions and is the veteran’s minimum? What other types of contracts should I be aware of? Why do teams do sign and trades instead of just outright sign free agents? Also, why are first round picks dealt like crazy and what determines if a pick can be top 10 protected or not?

How did he look towards the end of his outing? 104 pitches through five seems like a lot.

Is that still an option now?

Thanks I appreciate that! I’ll check it out!

How the hell did they get Shane Smith in the rule 5 draft? Thanks Brewers!

How did people stream the games without paying for them in the past?

Jon Garland and Mark Buehrle had stints in starting out of the pen.

I think the anger should be used towards Brooks Boyer about the TV deal and the fact that some of us would need to spend an extra $120 per year to see the White Sox on Comcast after some already spent money on the antenna.

What does it cost and do you have that in addition to cable?

Has anyone ever switched from Comcast to Directv?

It apparently is going away on Monday per Reddit.

So last year I could turn on the craptastic turf sandwich White Sox games on my basic Comcast package. Then they shut down the Comcast channel, said an OTA antenna is okay and now they need me to upgrade to watch another shitty team? f*** Comcast and Reinsdorf!

Sorry, I meant what the swing change was. Maybe he shortened it up or dropped his hands.

Why was the actual swing change?

Mr. Outrighted then

Way to go DFA candidate from the Cease trade

You didn’t like Sox Math did you? Stupid, slow, speed C Andrew Vaughn sucks.

He’s just low energy and when he has energy it doesn’t sound authentic. Benetti was a better pairing with Stone as he was so much more interesting and he and Stone made the broadcast exciting.

I can’t put my finger on it but Schriffen kind of sucks as a play by play guy. We were spoiled to have Benetti.

I remember Alex as a poster who treated others as respect and as one of the longtime contributors to this site. It is truly sad to hear that he passed away so soon. My prayers are with you and your family Alex and may their memories of you help them through their tragic loss. May you rest in peace.

I feel like there was a time where the site crashed because of the traffic when there was an important trade or signing going down. But I don’t remember what it would have been or when it would have been since the site is rather reliable.

Thanks, I’ve been monitoring the box scores lately and wanted to understand. Thanks for pointing that out. They actually hit him in an 0 for 19 slump against a fireballer.

Is the point of the opener to avoid short outings by a young starting pitcher or is it because they are short in the rotation and need to eat innings?

I don't like it. They should have traded up to get one of the linemen before they came off the board. I knew Jeanty wasn't going to happen. They never draft linemen high. People seem to prefer the PSU TE, I don't blame them. Braxton Jones can’t be the left tackle going into this year. They have to address the lines!

Dare they bring in someone like Michael Fulmer to eat innings? Or another scrub in his 30s that is unsigned?
