    AKA preemptive damage control.

    The only overseas signing the FO could afford.

    It would be magnificent if this somehow completely blew up in their faces.

    What's our role then? Just innocent viewers who happen to increasingly be funding this stuff? If the owners have a massive essentially endless supply of players and their customers most value payroll efficiency, $/WAR, and The Future...Where's it supposed to go? The fans are not driving these sorts of moves at all. That's a ridiculous idea.

    It's going to get worse too. Like if this offseason is an example of how Cubs fans see the players, imagine how we'll value the stars of The Future who aren't WS curse breaking former Golden Spikes turned #2 overall picks turned MiL POYS turned ML RoYs turned league MVPs...The Ricketts and the other owners got what they needed out of the offseason just between the Betts/Price deal and the feedback from fans on how Kris Bryant is valued, and all it took to hide was a handful of deals that may never get matched to a handful players...The one positive is that the Cubs might get Lindor for a shiny bag of balls, but at what true cost on our humanity?!?! Turns out fans can tolerate prolonged and intentional losing, being known as Lovable Losers, the luxury tax as a cap, taxpayer dollars getting stolen for stadiums, capped amateur spending, automation for the sake more efficient sports entertainment, etc...but the possibility of tying up cap space on a super accomplished nice guy superstar drafted by the org with all the player features and tricks except switch hitting was a tipping point...Savage times Wait, wait, wait... What? Your worry is how the FANS value players as opposed to how the owners and the FO values them?

    Admittedly, I forgot about the thing where he basically cyber-stalked someone on Twitter, that was horsefeathers and bad. Baseball could use more candidness like his when it comes to on-field stuff, though (and it seems like the Astros have opened that up, at least). trevor bauer is an alt-right dick head Yeah, the Twitter bullying/stalking of a random teenage girl was like one of a zillion things this Ben Shapiro-wannabe has [expletive] out over the course of his career. Even setting politics aside, he's just a prolapsed anus of a human being.

    Only in the context of the country being a neverending waking nightmare these days, sure.

    HARD, hard disagree. That's understandable. What do you think would be a fair scale? At the very least starting with $50k a year.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    If players were paid year round, these would come out to: Short Season - $21,000 per year A Ball - $26,000 AA - $31,000 AAA- $36,000 Those are still low, but not egregiously so. HARD, hard disagree.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Now THAT is a guy stoned out of his horsefeathering gourd.

    Who is more popular in Colorado than Arenado? Or did you read that wrong? I'm assuming he made the same mistake I did; I thought he was talking about Bryant.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    This was rightly already called out, but seriously, what the horsefeathers are you smoking.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    I think leaving Chapman in was where my loathing of Maddon was cemented for life. Christ, what an insanely lucky maniac; that article is like a slow motion panic attack.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Really? I mean it looked bad off the bat, but it ended up being a 280-ish(?) foot lazy fly ball that hung up so long that had it been fair - unless maybe right on the chalk - would almost certainly have been an out. I definitely reacted when he initially hit it though which is probably all you're referencing. It was a bad pitch that he should have done damage on Yeah, it felt like it was a meatball the size of globe that took damn near a minute to get from the mound.

    Man, your headspace is fascinating.

    "Drop dead!"

    Someone tell me Kipnis has awesome splits or something, because he blows otherwise. Or is this just boring depth horsefeathers.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    just as i was starting to let the spring training clips/pictures wash the disgusting taste of this offseason away from my mouth, they go back to doing dumb bad horsefeathers. "Go back" implies they ever stopped.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Man, stop clicking on bad links/tweets.

    That's funny, because I don't see any of those. Yeah, I don't know how many times the guy who insists on sharing Trump tweets seemingly can't figured out that these ads are tailored to each person. Somehow, SOMEHOW, I also never get these ads. Weird.
