That's the nickname for the dolphin sculpture. Everyone knows that

[17 Seconds]

I didn't realize Beltre is only 22 hits away from 3,000 for his career.

 

3000 hits is still an extraordinary milestone. I mean, Joey Votto only just hit 1500.

 

yeah but he's on like a 5,700 hit pace with an average walk rate

[Derwood]

Houston has 60 wins at the ASB

 

Cubs had 53 wins at the ASB last year

Sure, if he plays until he's 60

Dodgers have 61. The difference is neither of those teams had a 5-15 stretch like the Cubs did.

And the D-backs have 53, and the Rockies have 52.

that's the kris bryant isn't who i'd want up with the game on the line guy iirc

[Sammy Sofa]

The sheer number of sports writers that so shamelessly leap to suckling at the teat of team owners without even being prompted is grotesque.

And the Isaiah Thomas hot taeks during the NBA playoffs.

[davell]

Is Sandoval the worst contract ever signed? He got 5/95 and put up a total of -2.6 WAR for his time as a Red Sox.(-2.0,-0.2, -0.4)

Matt Kemp

 

8 yrs / 160 M

 

3.7 War with two years after this season left.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ryan Howard. 5 year extension, $125 million, in 2012 money. -2.2 WAR.

[Agony and Ivy]

Howard's is the worst for sure, but Pujols is a contender.

 

10 years $240m and he's been worth 8.9 WAR so far and that number will drop before the contract is over.

Oh yeah. This is going to take Howard off the hook.

I don't think that Pujols will get to negative WAR for the entirety of the deal but there's a non zero chance it happens. Josh Hamilton's 5/$123m and 3.1 WAR look like a classic moneyball deal compared to Howard and Pujols. Arte Moreno is the best.
