Wooo Hooooo!!!!

While I doubt we were in on him, also not surprised if Marte wanted to stay a CFer. Seems way more fun than corner.

thanks @Jack Parkman for making a thread for this. I saw allusions to this on twitter yesterday but didn't know the source of it. Manfred's handling of this from the beginning, when he stated the balls from 2017(?) were not different when they had proven to be, to now this, is just such brutal incompetence. Baseball fans care a lot about integrity of numbers. If a ball changes, a ball changes. Just be open about it. But to use different balls secretly is such garbage. Also clearly Kimbrel kept being given the exploding baseballs.

ah, AAA uses same balls now, I forgot about that.

two months later he's done neither.

I am just gonna say that I'm on Danny Duffy's side this offseason. He's a big injury risk but if his fastball is replicated this year he could be a huge signing.

You guys are so weird with this and merkin. They say dumb shit all the time. They aren't sending cold war spy messages to be deciphered.

super helpful thread on this vs 94

Romy can play SS, Mendick too. But realistically they just slide Leury to SS and play Romy there.

So this was relevant to Tepera how exactly? Or did you forget already that’s what you typed and are just stream of consciousness riffing on a post in your activity?

Our PD has had more success, however watching Cleveland really figure out taking these control pitchers in rounds 3-6 and finding velo, stuff for them it’s hard not to be jealous of that. And Konnor fits that mold, he already had a velo jump last year (from Sox biometrics team), so if he brings more in CLE it would be a bummer.

Excellent 5 minutes of juicy steak twitter rumor. have to say would be jealous if Sox chose Fathom preferred big boy if Castellanos over my Schwarber-steak

Thankfully we have one but yes I don’t believe there is a LH or SH 2B available anymore

Per hey, man

Should we put Castellanos at 3B to make room for Burger at 2b?

I’m pro Castellanos now.

No Duffy is a great pick.

It’s not like things are a disaster but it just feels like if you are with a friend and they are like “I’m hungry, I feel like something spicy!” And you proceed to give very reasonable and good recommendations for hours while one by one they get too busy and then close, so you end up going to a 24 he diner getting pancakes.

Infuriating offseason

Your source is me

he was injured in 2020, so you are wrong. Great schtick.

my personal belief is that there will be a 3rd year team option with buy-out, but the agent is likely the one who put it out first. The length is the winner for leury. I hope he did well, to be a 6+ position switch hitter takes extraordinary effort. Hope he gives us a few more walk-offs, playoff cheers.

Here's the good news, a lot of our prospects are young and years from 40 man protection which is what rays would like.

lol, this is really nice of Arcia, but this seems so annoying. Is it like a checkbox on the contract? Do the braves, right before you sign, ask "would you like to donate 1% of your contract to our charity?" and stare at you the whole time?
