  1. lol the media company who is buying up literally every other broadcast company looked at fs1 and said nah
  2. Preller: I've got some good news and bad news. Ohtani: *nods* Preller: Our park is huge, you'll never give up a home run here. Ohtani: Wonderful. Preller: But on the flipside you'll never hit one either. Ohtani:
  3. nah he's freshly turned 28 and whoever gets him is probably going to get surplus value out of the first few years and money is worth less and less as time goes on, especially in mlb Hi Guys! http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/518792.jpg Lol yes.
  4. BECAUSE HE'S BSOL
  5. i horsefeathering love this guy, he's so weird. that list reads like something derwood would have typed up for his Road to the show character
  6. Somebody took snap shots of a Japanese TV program where they were showing the life goals Shohei Otani wrote while he was in high school: http://blog.livedoor.jp/nanj_bom/archives/49425982.html Here's what u/tensaibaka could make out (the parts not 100% sure of are in italics) Age 18: Join a MLB team Age 19: Master English and reach AAA Age 20: Called up to the majors, make 1.5 billion JPY (~13 million USD) Age 21: Starting rotation, 16 wins Age 22: Win the Cy Young award Age 23: Member of Japan WBC team Age 24: Throw a no-hitter and 25 wins Age 25: Throw fastest pitch in the world 175 kph (~108mph) Age 26: Win the World Series and get married Age 27: Member of Japan WBC team & MVP Age 28: 1st son is born Age 29: Throw 2nd no-hitter Age 30: Get most wins by a Japanese pitcher (in 1 MLB season?) Age 31: 1st daughter is born Age 32: Win 2nd World Series Age 33: 2nd son is born Age 34: Win 3rd World Series Age 35: Member of Japan WBC team Age 36: Break the strike out record? Age 37: 1st son starts baseball Age 38: Stats drop, start to think about retirement Age 39: Decide to retire at end of next season Age 40: Throw no-hitter in my very last game Age 41: Return to Japan Age 42: Introduce the American system to Japan?
  7. "They ought to direct him to the hashtag #ThatsCub which explains what is Cub in detail."
  8. What Shohei Ohtani's decision means for the Trump White House, and also child rape laws and guns.
  9. At the end of this day, all we can really say is that it's cool to be involved, because at no time in the previous 100-whatever years prior to 2015 or so would we be. He clearly wants to be on the west coast, but the cubs overall product is too hard to give a flat no to without at least spinning the tires. Thanks Theo.
  10. Are you talking about shazier? yeah. i just can't watch tackle football anymore. I have never felt that sick to my stomach, though I only saw a clip on twitter. I can't imagine seeing it on tv live.
  11. Are you talking about shazier?
  12. also, if that's all it was, you'd think the yankees would've gotten a foot in the door. i still can't believe he rejected them off the bat, lmao Their front office is not comparable to ours. Theo and Jed were presumably putting together a presentation about 25 year old stars and a world series trophy while cashman was rappelling down buildings like george costanza with a male crush on tony.
  13. They're not in our division. Who cares? I know this is your robot way of saying the playoffs are a crapshoot, but I don't think it's a particularly hot take to not want the best team in our league (who just beat our pants off in the playoffs) to get the best available player in the offseason.
  14. Anything that makes the Dodgers better is bad. From the looks of the finalists, he wants to be on the west coast, but our front office is good enough to at least get a foot in the door. It's better than the alternative, but doesn't fill me with a bunch of confidence.
  15. Going to erase the Angels and Padres, because if he wants to go to a middling team he can just go to Seattle where he can A.) DH and B.) Isn't a wasteland like the Angels. Erase the Rangers because out of the two non-West Coast teams, I'm going to assume the Cubs pedigree outweighs the Rangers playing in the AL. So Mariners, Giants, Dodgers, Cubs. Mariners 50/Giants 20/Dodgers 20/Cubs 10.
  16. Mariners or the field
  17. flight time to japan? lol
  18. Ohtani: I can't wait to fly back to Japan for a short visit! Tim:
  19. the cardinals wanna pay a guy $30 million a year for the rest of his life while also collecting competitive balance picks
  20. Law doesn't see Ohtani as a 5-win player FWIW
  21. hopefully that means tom has been banned
  22. lmao this is a hilarious review of a completely meaningless pickup of a trash 10th reliever
  23. You wanna watch the next Jon Jay slap singles and doubles as the 4th OF, or do you want to see this? I'd rather see him pitch. I mean, I'm not saying the guy should never step to the plate; I just think it's silly to try and get him hundreds of AB's a season. You only have to get him 100-200 ABs once. If he can't hang, he's smart enough to know. Or maybe he's such a freak that he'll just make himself better. Or maybe you get a 14 WAR player. It literally doesn't matter. Promise him whatever it takes to get him here. If he can't do it well enough, keep him out of the lineup. What's he gonna do, retire?
