  1. everyone does that every year and then week 7 hits and it all goes to horsefeathers lmao, i love it
  2. schwarber runs a heavyweights style fat camp
  3. isnt dayton moore the no porn guy lol
  4. lmao so horsefeathering what. if machado runs like a normal person and not someone ATTEMPTING TO INJURE ANOTHER PLAYER no one even notices or cares. really? I mean, it's pretty obvious machado ran at him because of how blatantly the first baseman was standing on the bag. that's forgivable somehow? i feel like aguilar did something moderately stupid and machado did something incredibly stupid. it's like someone calling you dumb and you're like wow that's rude and you hit them with your car in response. "hey shouldnt have called me dumb, [expletive]!"
  5. his toe is on like 2 percent of the bag, come on. even if that is weird in anyway, it's orders of magnitude worse to horsefeathering kick the guy's foot for doing it. just touch the other 98 percent of open bag who cares about his toe? The entire foot is over the bag. lmao so horsefeathering what. if machado runs like a normal person and not someone ATTEMPTING TO INJURE ANOTHER PLAYER no one even notices or cares.
  6. the first baseman standing on top of the bag? Yes, that is dirty. his toe is on like 2 percent of the bag, come on. even if that is weird in anyway, it's orders of magnitude worse to horsefeathering kick the guy's foot for doing it. just touch the other 98 percent of open bag
  7. ok but that is fucken dirty as hell
  8. i know you can't read too much into that interview but jesus god how did theo and company get tricked into hiring this idiot.
  9. yes trading 75 percent of our outfield for a 17 year old and an albeit very good guy in AA would be bad 75%? McKenzie’s probably ML ready late 2019 or early 2020 if that helps he's a young rail thin pitcher (he's thinner than CARL EDWARDS JR unbelievably) and we'd be running out an OF of Heyward (missed time with injuries) Harper (missed time with injuries) Zobrist (old AF) and .... maybe we could get szcur back. please just stop with this stupid video game horsefeathers you do please
  10. Sign Kipnis after the Indians shockingly buyout his option, replace LaStella with a glove player like Igleisias Speaking of the Indians...Would Schwarber/Happ/Almora for Triston McKenzie and Lenny Torres be a bad deal for either side? yes trading 75 percent of our outfield for a 17 year old and an albeit very good guy in AA would be bad
  11. I'm assuming Schwarber or Happ would be needed to trade for Castellanos? I'm not overly against the idea. Schwarber for him makes some sense for both teams. I’d do* Schwarber for Castellanos and Mize or Manning, not sure about the rest Note: Probably in what horsefeathering universe are the detroit tigers trading their 1/1 pick from last year for kyle schwarber
  12. its actually rule V
  13. he has to wait until game 4 at least Yeah, pretty sure you didn’t start freaking out until we got shut out in Game 3. it was definitely after game 3 because we immediately ran off 3 wins in a row lol
  14. I'm surprised he doesn't remember Jerry Krause. He famously started off as a baseball scout before becoming the GM of the Chicago Bulls and leading them to 6 rings, with the help of MJ, Pippen and Phil Jackson of course. He was a decent basketball scout and was one of the key influences behind scouting and drafting Toni Kukoc. He then transitioned back to being a baseball scout after he was fired. Lol. Kyler Murray looked great in the Texas-Oklahoma game last week and I think he could go in the top 3 rounds of the NFL draft. They were discussing this in the latest UMP podcast on Fangraphs. I'm pretty sure he has a firm commitment to the A's, but I'd be really nervous every Saturday during college football season. the local media has been discussing this all week, but they capital-S SUCK, and have made little sense. But it's interesting to think about. He has a $5 million commitment from the A's. And if he takes that path he goes to A ball and is committed to riding buses for at least two years, making piss money. If he felt like he'd be drafted in the top 3 rounds, he'd get a signing bonus of about $900,000 and a four-year non-commited contract worth about $4 million (Mason Rudolph, 3rd round pick last year, got 920k and a 4-year $3.98 mil deal) baseball seems like the best bet. His odds of making a dent in the majors and getting a big contract are low, but so is the risk of injury and if he can hit at all, with his speed he'll linger for a long time. In the NFL, he also has a very very small chance of being a difference-maker because of his size. But he has the arm and can make the throws and he has athleticism that's elite even among the NFL elite. And even though injury risk is high in the NFL, they are doing all they can to legislate QB injuries out of the game. He basically has one hurdle to making big NFL money and playing at least semi-long term - his size. If he can overcome that, and no one in modern NFL history has played QB at his size, he's gonna make big money. There are many many more hurdles to him becoming a big baseball player.
  15. why the horsefeathers was brad pitt in that movie lmao
  16. lol what a nice way of saying "can't hit"
  17. im not opposed to moving on from monty ahead of his inevitable turn into a pumpkin but hoisting up these three turds in his place is not exactly enticing So, I'm guessing you're figuring we just don't have the luck for a pitcher to come back from TJS? Or do actually think Smyly healthy, is far worse than Monty? im saying expecting anything out of the guy who last pitched in 2016, had a 4.5 FIP that season (his only season with anything resembling a full workload) and THEN had TJ is probably not wise.
  18. maybe it slipped that Drew Smyly, Alec Mills, and Alzolay are next up im not opposed to moving on from monty ahead of his inevitable turn into a pumpkin but hoisting up these three turds in his place is not exactly enticing
  19. i have nothing to add except that i love that the title is "realistic trade targets" and the first line is "greinke and goldschmidt are available."
  20. it was a 45 year deal wow
  21. are you suggesting he should be prevented from working because he's suing the organization that employs him for discrimination? I’m suggesting that he sucks for multiple reasons and shouldn’t be allowed to umpire important games ever it's good legally speaking from the MLB perspective to not only put him in high-profile games but then to watch him fail pathetically in them
  22. jesus christ the "generation talent" horsefeathers is such a meaningless term anyway. who cares??? he's 26 and he's put up the 8th most offensive war since his debut and half of his career he's been the same age as a low minor leaguer. if someone wants to argue that he's not a once in a lifetime player or something, have fun. I just want the mother funker on my team given his religious nature and lack of children, can we truly say he's funked a mother? THIS GUY FUNKS
