QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) It had that sound off of the bat though. Yep. Actually a beautiful swing from the side angle the twins broadcast showed

I love Hawk Harrelson
absolutely love hawk. Will tremendously miss him when he goes. I'm 31 years old and hes been the only voice of my favorite team I've ever known. I love the personality, I love the homerism. I love the stories about the old players. Even if many or most of them are embellished, don't you sort of want that? There's a romantic quality about baseball where guys get made into Tall Tales in a way and become legendary for it. IMO Hawk helps perpetuate that. Does he make mistakes and say stupid things in the booth? Of course. But he's broadcasting the baseball game I'm watching. He's not managing my retirement funds or diagnosing disease.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 04:56 AM) Maddon pitched to Goldschmidt last night. Cubs lose. OMG, Could not believe this when I watched it. This is inexplicable to me. Guy on third with 2 outs. What are you thinking

4/6 Sox @ Oakland
QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) Oh man. What a horrid start to season for Padres. The bottom of the NL is atrocious. The Padres Phillies Brewers and reds are probably bottom 10 rosters in the last 5 years

Rollins range is subpar

4/6 Sox @ Oakland
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) That's legitimately one of the worst arms I've ever seen. I can't think of a worse right handed arm. Certainly some lefties were just as bad (Damon, Pierre)

Adam LaRoche retires

Adam LaRoche retires
I think KW wanted to change the culture and some of the new guys brought in (Rollins Avila Navarro renteria Jackson) were brought in specifically to change aroubd the clubhouse. Some of those guys probably complained about laroche and drake. KW addressed it. I think the "bigger problem" that Sale is referring to is the "new guard" in the clubhouse. IIRC there were whispers that some of the old guys weren't thrilled with the "new leadership"

2016 MLB Draft
QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 01:05 AM) http://www.d1baseball.com/player/joey-lucchesi-lucchjo43/ that k rate can't be right...that has to be a mistake Conference play starts tonight. Jordan Sheffield vs. Dakota Hudson in a battle of possible first round picks tonight. Game is on sec network for those who get it When I was at Vandy 10 years ago I went to pretty much every home game. The last few years they have been broadcasting almost all the games (at first on cbssports site which cost money, but free the last two years on secn+/watchespn) . I gotta say I have come to enjoy watching it more than the Bulls and Blackhawks. College baseball is such an untapped market. Obviously it helps when the team I follow has risen to national prominence and has been an mlb talent factory, but it's just so fun to watch

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 07:58 AM) Woke up today wondering if this has nothing to do with Drake and everything to do with the team believing Adam's not focusing enough on baseball. Either way, the sooner this story goes away, the better. Of course that is what this is about. If your kid is there 100% of the time, there's no way you are doing your job to the best of your abilities. And if you hit two f***ing ten and make 13 mil, maybe you should be concentrating on your job WHILE at work and less about the kid Frankly I can't believe anyone in the world sides with laroche on this

Cubs-Yankees Trade
Adam warren is decent. Not sure why people are dumping on him so much. Castro is trash. They got a pretty usable arm, who fangraphs loves (3 war projected next year). Not overwhelming, but at the deadline they basically couldn't give Castro away
