The Rockies and Pirates are playing the first never-ending game of the season. It's tied at 3 in the 14th.

It is 2:55 am right now where I live. Due to about a billion rain delays, the Dodger-Padres game is currently tied 2-2 in the bot of the 8th inning. I love baseball.

I didnt even think the lackey contract was that bad when he signed it. He's been a really good #2 for most of his career. Now he put on a red sock uniform and apparently sucks.

 

He was a good pitcher, but not a $16 m per year pitcher. He has a career 3.93 ERA. It was just a really confusing signing. Theo is supposed to be a "moneyball prodigy" that finds things that are undervalued and takes advantage. I know Theo's team has always had deep pockets so he's always been a hybrid. But the Lackey signing didn't make sense from day one and leaned completely the other way. He's a decent pitcher, but nothing about his career numbers screams "will ever be worth 16 million a year". Especially confusing is because that offseason they basically admitted to their fans it was going to be a down year when they let Bay go. It almost seems like they signed him so the fans wouldnt completely freaked out, not because he was some pitcher they absolutely HAD to have for whatever reason.

Didn't he have some pretty good success in the post-season with the Angels? An above-average player who makes a great showing in the post-season, especially in a contract year before signing with one of the huge market teams, seems to be able to pad their new contract by as much as 5 or 6 mil/yr. I don't know numbers offhand, but I feel like Carlos Beltran falls into this category too.

Doubleheaders are far too uncommon in today's game. The only thing better than one game is two.
