Fuck this shit. MLB can go fuck itself.

He's back...

The lack of accountability in both organizations is astounding.

Yeah but he was throwing 92-93 most of the game wasn't he? That's pretty far off from how hard he was throwing last year.

What's wrong with Reynaldo? He's gotta be hurt right?

Palka is hot trash

I wish I can say Eloy looking like this is NBD, but he's whiffing on pitches right down the middle. It's not the end of the world, but very discouraging. I feel like the Sox were almost pressured into signing him to the extension and bringing him up on opening day.

Did Yolmer just forget how to play defense? Holy crap.

Of course we get screwed on a call that's not reviewable.

This has to be the best Gio's ever looked.

What is this? Giolito throwing 94-95 and being good? Since when?

Terrible defense this inning.

Scouting report's out on Eloy: throw him sliders.

14-16

Don't like Russell at all. He's scoring based on volume and isn't a very efficient player.

I still question Morant's ability to shoot the 3 ball, but he's an amazing passer. With the Bulls being a pretty good 3 point shooting team already, he'd be a great fit. We have scorers right now, but we need somebody better than Dunn when it comes to passing and driving the ball.

I for one feel like he should have taken 57 more years to complete the masterpiece contract.

lol what's Jared Mitchell up to these days?

Holy hell that's cheap. We still have 15.5 million left in cap room.

I like that it's a one year deal. Take a safety in the draft and see if he can replace him in a year. We need cap space to retain Eddie Jackson next year.

Amos is fine as a cleanup safety. But when he was given more responsibility and more ground to cover with Eddie Jackson out, he was definitely exposed. Especially in the second half of the playoff game against the Eagles. There were 3-4 instances where a safety with better instincts and speed could have made numerous huge stops for the Bears in Amos' position. Instead, Amos kept a Eagles TD drive alive with a late hit penalty (because of the fact he has limited range) and allowed the final TD drive to continue by not even looking at Alshon Jeffrey on a third and medium conversion. I think there's a reason why the Broncos and Bears passed on him even though he got a pretty reasonable deal in the grand scheme of things.

Just thinking about that near the end of my last post had me triggered. We didn't want to risk giving Machado an extra $50 million over 2 years, but we're willing to risk at least 30 million $ on a guy who hasn't played a Major League game yet? And the $30 million in this case would be like a best case scenario. Not to mention that it's at least 7 years down the road.

That's still high. I mean, if he ends up being the 4 or 5 WAR player we think he can be, then the deal kind of pays for itself. But why do that when you can keep him for 7 years at something like $50 million? We'd be looking at paying 2 million for his first 4 years and then whatever the 3 years of arbitration pay out. Why take this big of a risk for an extra year at $30 million WHEN WE WEREN'T WILLING TO PAY THAT TO MANNY MACHADO?!?!

Now that I've thought about this...Yeah technically we'd get him for 7 years with 3 years of arbitration now that he won't start the year at the ML level. Even if he wins MVP, he's not gonna get more than 20 mil in arbitration. We'd basically be buying one extra year for at least $40 million. That makes no sense.

Holy shit. We're getting Eloy till he's 30!
