bobby witt jr could end up on this team and this board would still be like "sigh another royal"

That's what I said. He potentially had a 5 year deal

But it voided the following two years at $20.5mil and $17.2m. That's a decent amount of money to leave on the table (plus the $15.5mil this next year). However, Eddy is right but I thought it was a player option. Cheap ass team anticipating a lockout. Worse ownership than the south side, let's be honest.

I don't think Imanaga exercises his opt out option if he plans to take the QO. The other two guys, I'm surprised they were even offered it. $22mil is a lot for them. And it scares other teams away. DET will pay Gleyber $22mil but not extend Skubal? Interesting.

Boo fuckin hoo. Maybe the nobody middle reliever should have better control. Giménez didn’t do anything wrong. It also didn’t matter did it. I’d stick my arm out too if I’m a defense first, poor bad middle infielder. Why do you guys care

This can be challenged. ready for Les contes d’hoffman

I dunno, don’t recall, but I’d try to get on base in game 7 of the World Series too. The actual HBP was fine. That guy, along with Ohtani, had no command. Play to win.

The reliever with no command hit him. Nothing to clear the benches about IMO but he didn’t throw his hands out.

His stuff was awful from the get go. The 3 run shot, out after 2.1 was inevitable. Feels to me like an ezwin for the blue jays tonight. Can’t rule out the Dodgers bats I guess but Scherzer looks real good thus far.

Ohtani has a generous strike zone tonight…

Scherzer is getting the win. Would be very fitting for him.

Still thinking Colson inevitably moves to 1b

thank god it's finally over

I don't think you can even call this a pitching clinic, everyone on both of these teams just forgot how to hit.

this is like double the amount of pitches Klein has ever thrown. He's gassed.

Yamamoto is a dog. Love that guy.

alex call walk-off would be very funny though.

great performance from Lauer. Kiké is preparing for the L.

they brought out a tray of fruit, what they really need is a tray of amphetamines

I want to go to bed but I've already come this far...

the announcer definitely thought it was. this guy is so ready to go back to his hotel.

what a fucking game. if this goes 16ish, do we start seeing starters?

swing at some more balls, lukes.

dumbest send I've ever seen. Vlad was up...

Man-handled two teams that are supposed to be better than us. Good depth, Vuc is doing his thing, Matas (was bad this game) but looks to be blossoming into a proper number one option. Trey Jones has been fantastic. Giddey has been alright. Julian Phillips is starting to look like an NBA player. It seems like a well-built team finally but still not a title contender. If Coby can play like he did in the second half of last season, Matas takes a leap, Vuc gives 20ish/11ish efficiently, Giddey performs to expectations and the bench continues to show out, I think we actually have a top 5 in the EC squad this year.
