Your fault .

Walks and HBP you put runners on more often then not it'll cost you.

Murfee's Law

Lol please keep complaining about Maton. That ball was crrr-ushed !!

I should have stipulated nothing Russian related 😋

That was just pretty by Sosa and Smithy .

Sosa needs a nickname

Would be weird to have the highlight of the year happen in a string of 5 games in the 1st week.

Another 0 run inning

Crap needed an extra base hit and got a K and a pop out.

Everyone thinks multi-run inning ! LFG !

Supports what I was saying even more and always thought it was highly likely he got an extension fairly quickly .Took a little longer than I thought. Figured it would be done before the season started.

Customers who don't use it sell them generally around $15 on the open market. Not sure how it works though if they ever check to see if your IP matches your service IP address you can pay and end up losing the service pretty quick but in the past the buyers are happy . Disney just figured out I wasn't the same IP address as my daughter who put me on her Disney + user list. It was fine until they added Hula shows then zap .. gone right when I was getting caught up watching about 10 yrs of Archer I missed 🤣

They weren't really comparable. DeGrom's the only pitcher who got almost the same for roughly the same amount of service time.

You can either take $170M or risk it all while you make $20M combined (maybe) in 2025 and 2026 and if you have a major injury in that time you lose a huge chunk of change .Not sure what his Arb salaries would have been for those 2 yrs. This is when smart players who don't get too greedy get out the scales and say yeah I'll take $170M right now thank you.

Nah he still had 2 yrs to go before FA. The wheels can fall off very quickly. Largest deal ever for a pitcher with only a little over 4 years of service and quite a bit of it was injured.

There it is . Not sure I'd call it reasonable . That's a lot guaranteed money for a guy with his injury history and not one complete MLB season. I'd call it a great deal for him though. I always knew he'd be smart to try to get a deal done as quick as possible.

You can argue anything though with or without facts. I thought overall the SP and BP would both be better. I don't think it was wishful thinking either. Maybe a little since it is spring but I thought Burke, Martin had good potential, Cannon and Perez could be steady and then they got a Wild card who started to look great with Smith. Remains to be seen if they can consistently be what I thought . BP same thing. I liked some of the low-cost arms and I basically trust Bannister being given a long leash seeing guys he likes from the junk pile and spruce them up a little. Again always a crap shoot when working with those kind of arms but they really seemed to focus on giving up less walks and taking more walks offensively. That goes a long way towards scoring more runs if you run into one occasionally which is still their biggest problem.

Really don't want to say too much here but something something about Brewers SP so either he gets lit up like a Christmas Tree or he does what you said. 1st thought was he gets lit up because recognizing fate type patterns but then he's not a Brewer no more so change of destiny ? Sometimes I like to delve into existential thoughts, without drugs too. 😉

So he went to Pittsburgh. Here it comes Wait for it... Canario in a coal mine !! 😁

Lol well I try not to count all the DFAs thrown around in game threads. Usually you get around 100 by the middle of April. 😉

Also Perez needs more plaudits. Got a lot of Ks on the cutter and changeup. A couple on the sinker too. 10D 100th career HR. Vasil MLB debut right ? Good start. M.A.Taylor career HR 101 did I hear that right ?

I knew I spelled it wrong as soon as I hit send lol.Normally I edit but said F it. Busy day selling digital movie codes while trying to watch game and eat lunch.

Someone made a bet although looks like you waited too long to get it at 50 or whatever the best line was.

Better defense, better pitching, better positioning . It's adding up to better play so far. New coaches early impact .Heck Vasil pitched Ok . Had a few extra days to work with Banny and Katz. Sox have turned a lot DPs.
