it's truly fascinating how epicly bad Cease is in the first 3 innings of a game, ?

I would've played Billy H in RF today, get him some regular ABs vs the lefty and get some speed and D in RF

holy shit @ that exit velo. > 117mph

what market does your quoting skills play in, oof.

he's such a low IQ player, jesus

also, red states far and away are leading in COVID deaths, likely due to lower vaccination rates

Any nurses/doctors wanna weigh in on the recent news regarding the vaccines being improperly administered? Dr. John Campbell of the UK (he's been interviewed on CNN a few times) says all IM vaccines need to be aspirated to avoid the risk of intravenous injection, which can cause myopericarditis. Myopericarditis has been in the news more than a few times as a possible (albeit rare, 1 in 121000) reaction to the vaccine. Initially it was being written off as just an adverse reaction to the vaccine, but now it's being suggested by multiple doctors that this was likely caused by the vaccines not being aspirated to prevent injection into blood vessels. Neither of mine were aspirated and many Walgreens techs are refusing to do it.

that just goes to show how fWAR is an extremely misleading stat, how the fuck does Moncada even approach Machado in WAR when looking at their numbers, and Machado also has a 10point advantage in fPCT as well (and 2 less errors in 10 more games played) the *only* reason anyone wouldn't want Machado over Moncada is because of the contract

lmao shitstain

probably DH vs righties, split with some time at 1b and occasionally in RF

pointless game, doubt Oakland has a comeback in them, maybe at the colosseum

afaik if a playoff seeding is at stake, they always make up the game, or play an extra one

Off topic, but I feel you all need to know that this exists.

Because $141 million is less than $224 million, and it allows them to have more flexibility with their roster after 4 years If they want to trade Machado, they're going to have to eat some of his salary. This achieves that goal, and unlocks 3B in 4 years if they want to put a cheaper option there Adjust the 60 mil to whatever you want, but I don't see any team absorbing Machado's deal unless a significant portion is picked up.

Which player would you rather have, Moncada or Machado? Machado vs Moncada 2021 stats: Machado: 28/103, .279/.348/.492 (151 games), BB%: 9.8, K%: 16.0 Moncada: 13/58, .262/.375/.402 (142 games), BB%: 13.8, K%: 25.5 Age: 29 years old vs 26 years old fWAR: 4.5 vs 4.2 Contract: 224mil (7y remain) vs 81.4mil (4y remain) If you can get SD to eat at least some of that contract, I would definitely trade them in a swap of some sort. Straight up, I don't think so. But if they eat 60+ mil? ? Machado / TA / Semien / Abreu ohhhh lawdy

who else would you rather have on the mound fielding 117mph line drives up the middle, he's a gold glover bro!

Sorry if it was already discussed in another thread. Not exactly shocking but nice to see it pretty much confirmed one way or another

24 games over, finally

sheets is a pretty valuable guy to have right now, I'm sold on him platooning with Vaughn in RF next year, get Semien for 2b

Houston is gonna walk this game off, it's so obvious

if the Astros are resting players the next two days regardless of if they win or lose tonight, that tells me their guys are pretty banged up

LOL so fucking awful

these guys look ready for the playoffs lol

a year before he can opt out? yeah that's a great idea /green

uhh steroids were illegal unless prescribed by a physician, the rule is inherent, there doesn't need to be a rule when we already have laws
