    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.
  2. 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."

    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.

    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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Holy horsefeathers.
  14. 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.

    Ok, so I'm not saying this is the only cause, but taken in conjunction with the Rizzo quote about not stealing signs, it would explain why the Cubs players didn't seem to benefit as much as others. I mean there’s literally been studies showing the ball is materially different which would lead it to going further (lower seams, different “pill”, wound tighter, etc). Maybe sign stealing exasperated it like the swing/approach change, launch angle focus, but the ball being different is still the driver. PROBABLY THE SAME SCIENTISTS THAT MADE UP GLOBAL WARMING.

    Man, I am Mr. Everybody IS Cheating, So horsefeathers It, but this is just comically sloppy and greedy. Astros' mission statement: LET'S DO ALL OF THE CHEATING
  18. Sammy Sofa
    WHO COULD ARGUE WITH RAFAE-I MEAN, RIZZO SAYING IT LIKE THAT?!?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Start the Rizzo trade thread, I guess.

    It's so insanely depressing that the Cubs inexplicably went back to see Trump, too. WHY DO THEY SUCK SO MUCH.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Put your hands together.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    We already have to accept that the Ricketts-owned Cubs that happily employed Chapman and Russell won the WS. Why would I possibly give a horsefeathers about some good ol' baseball cheating? I WISH that was the worst thing they were known for these days.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus horsefeathering Christ. WHY.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Imagine thinking it makes any kind of sense to acquire a media group, and then nuke the news/politics outlet and the sports outlet in short order. It's weirdly impressive. Even though they're obviously just stripping it for parts in that distinctly horrible venture capitalist way, it's still extra gross and incompetent this time.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    DON'T FALL FOR IT.
