    Now this is the kind of creeping anti-Bryant content I am here for. It is neither creeping nor anti-Bryant to say that his MVP contender days are likely over and that he's "merely" a top 20ish hitter in MLB with middling 3B defense. Tomayto, tomahto.

    nah that ship has sailed the past couple years imo aside from the injuries and the concern they cause (vs. arenado who has played at least 155 games every year since 2015), arenado fields 3B at an elite level and is just about as good a hitter. kb's defensive numbers have taken a big step back the past couple years from where the were in 2016. Now this is the kind of creeping anti-Bryant content I am here for.

    I really wish the statuses could be updated our names, because I want mine to say "trashcan bangs" sooooooooooo bad.

    Those poor, helpless lads.

    And to think people were complaining about the players not being punished.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    We are. You're mistaking the shortsighted deals that are are a part of the clash between players and owners right now as being the result of a lack of power on the part of the union, which is just flat out wrong.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    This is, quite honestly, a strangely impressive and wildly incorrect take of the state of the union.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    The union very much supports the DH, and has been vocal about wanting it in the NL for a long time, so we're not sure what you're talking about.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    ...long time.

    "100% intensity" sounds great...until we find out 100% intensity from a guy with a ravaged knee is like, 43% normal intensity.

    If you haven't begun shedding fat as a 19 year old athlete, chances are not good that you will begin at 20. Yeah, he's tried losing weight and I just think his body type will always be on the larger side. Injuries will probably always be a concern with him, but they said kinda similar things about Blake Griffin too. Man, at first I thought you were saying people were saying that Griffin was always going to be a bigger (AKA fatter) dude, and I was all, "uhhhh, no, that's insane, I saw that Broad City episode, dammit."

    They’re at ~$180 million right now for this year. I’d imagine that’s about as much as they’ve ever spent. Again we know they can spend more, but likely won’t. It wasn’t hard to see them not spending much more until some of the horsefeathers fell off the roster. OK? Again, they offered him the money: how does it make any sense to think that the player and his agent should counter asking for less as opposed to thinking the team is going to find a way to dump excess salary, or maybe be willing to actually spend? This keeps coming back to, "the player and their agent should know better and take the high road."
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, the automatic thinking would be, "OK, if they're willing to pay this, then they're hopefully willing to do what it takes to step up and finally try and build a decent team," not, "horsefeathers, this extension was acatch-22 to ultimately get the owners out of spending any real long term money on anyone, AND to paint me as the villain when I opt out. horsefeathers."

    Do the odds account for the amount of times Theo is passed out in a luxury suite somewhere and they have to do everything without him? It is possible that I had this backwards, Theo just announced "we need optionable relievers you idiots" to the FO then went into hibernation so Jed and Co are playing an elaborate prank in anger. Honestly it makes as much sense as anything else at this point. I like it.

    Again, if the team didn't want to pay him that money, or would have preferred to spread that money around (and we all know that's not true), THEN DON'T OFFER HIM THAT MONEY.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Sorry, never going to agree with the idea that it's up to the player and their people to second guess the organization's offer to them, because that just sets the shitty precedent that a player SHOULD take some kind of a cut or a discount because woe unto the poor, poor generous owners, just stupidly throwing money they can't actually afford at the greedy players. Come on.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Or some crazy contract provision a la, "I, Nolan Arenado, hereby acknowledge by signing this extension that my team, the Colorado Rockies, can tank however they want afterwards." Otherwise it's just ye olde siding with management.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Unless we're missing some key details about Arendao kidnapping and holding the Rockies' FO and owners' loved ones for ransom, putting the onus on a player as if they should know better to take less than what was offered to him is hugely faulty.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Holy horsefeathers.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Sounds eerily like Derrek Lee's wrist. Fortunately this big goon doesn't smash dongs with his feet. And hell, maybe it keeps down his TOOTBLAN-iness.

    The highlight of this offseason is going to be when gr gets arrested in a hilariously botched assassination attempt of Manager David.
