I did not know this, thank you. I have rectified this issue.

ONLY Pick 3, if you pick more than 3 I'll know and be very angry

Pretty sure you've posted more in the past hour than I have in the past 2 years combined, not all of us are as perpetually bored as you seem to be.

The standard reaction to all Caulfield posts.

To think, the Evan Longoria contract pretty much started this whole thing and was actually criticized at the time. 6 years, $17.5M guaranteed, 3 team options of $7.5M, $11M & $11.5M in his age 28, 29 & 30 seasons ($3M buyout in the first year, so only $14.5M paid for the first 6 years of his career) and the contract was signed after he was held down to start the year, earning the extra year of control so the options covered his last year of ARB and 2 free agent seasons. Probably the most team friendly contract in the history of baseball, Andrew Friedman was just so far ahead of the curve it's incredible, the Shields and Crawford contracts were also absolute steals and those contracts came after they established themselves as major league contributors. 14 years, $44.9M guaranteed + 8 team option years to buy out the primes of 3 of the best players of the late aughts. AND all 3 went on to get big paydays after those contracts expired, $352.6M total guaranteed on their second contracts after turning 30.

I implore you to reconsider this fine idea, I hate to break it to you but you aren't going to change shit.

Sports are extraordinarily dumb.

Thank god. Also, "swope" isn't a word.

This whole damn thing has been like looking for 2 dogs to mate, gotta find the right pairing.

Admittedly, I only know it from the show. Any idea where your dad got it from? Any Canadian background?

Letterkenny is good as shit.

If you actually read and digested any of the replies to your idiotic posts you'd understand why your archaic, simple minded ideas elicit such vitriol. You know absolutely nothing about modern sports, I'm talking just the basic machinations here, it's fucking embarrassing. It would take approximately 5 minutes for you to broaden your horizons but you refuse to do so, I've been researching this shit for about 15 years now, it's actually fun, invigorating and I can talk about sports without sounding like a fucking simpleton but it required a modicum of effort which you're clearly unwilling to give. In my fucking spare time I created things like the attached (now copied by the likes of Spotrac) and read through the CBA so I knew it like the back of my hand, I did this for fun, imagine someone trying to hold down a job in the sports reporting industry not even committing to this level. I'm one of the few that believes you're not trolling, that you're just this fucking stupid, you absolutely take pleasure in riling people up but you're not smart enough to come up with posts as shit brained as these, you just type out the dumb shit on your mind, people react and you get off on it. Please, for the love of god just fuck off, buttercup.

Rodon truly pitched today, he was commanding all of his pitches well and changing speeds and eye level on his fastball beautifullly. He wasn't trying to blow everyone away, it was awesome.

I thought that when it was hit but he pulled the hands in, it was intentional and good.

Gio just loses his release point so consistently, it feels like they should be able to find the hitch in his delivery that's causing it.

I agree with your overall premise but he had a great oppo swing and was robbed of a hit in, I believe the 2nd game of the Bosox series.

He's getting down in the count early and just giving up on at bats. He needs to at least sit for a few games, there's just nothing there.

A Lucas Giolito 94 MPH fastball is a really good pitch.

Didn't have a lot of interest in Rust of DayZ so probably won't play this. Pretty disappointed in the announcement.

Yeah, I've been thinking it all series. He's officially one of those guys now.

That was impressive as hell.

Lacks requisite cerderale skills.

Pretty sure it was a Minnesota player who slid head first into 1B in the CWS last night? It's amazing, given how heavily coached these guys are that they continue to do it. Just the dumbest ass thing you can do in sports.

He was 19 fucking years old playing for the first time after basically taking a year off and still put up a 1.027 OPS. But yes, those 23 strikeouts are what really matters.
