    Bryant vs changeups make me sad. Luckily he kills pretty much everything else.
  2. Agony and Ivy
    I want this to happen so badly now and I am going to be really sad when it doesn't
  3. Agony and Ivy
    The offense has really gone to horsefeathers since the 3 dongs off Williams.
  4. Agony and Ivy
    Is this game really only on MLB Net?

    I'm glad it's his drive leg. The front leg is more critical to control and velocity than the back leg. Either way surgery sucks. It's not his drive leg..... It is his landing leg Well that's less than ideal. Also, reading comprehension is tough, read "left leg" probably 10 times still went with right in my brain. Such a moran.

    I'm not sure that one is any better than the other? His right knee would be the leg he pushes off with. I'm glad it's his drive leg. The front leg is more critical to control and velocity than the back leg. Either way surgery sucks.

    He's fired 4 agents since A-ball and got fired by 1. I actually sat down with one of his agents at the AFL in 14 and we talked extensively about him and the agent ended up dropping him because of his personality makeup and his father. I hit him up later to ask what happened and he basically said he didn't want to have anything to do with the time bomb that had been created. It was really some crazy [expletive] but it was mostly his father that rubbed off on Pompey. I bet it's his dad since he's being repped by CAA sports, a major agency. Either way, sounds like something that could knock his trade cost down along with their new FO not being attached to him. I'm sure there's similar guys out there besides Pompey too, just like the match and he seems like a more obvious name/target. Oh yeah I like the tools. I just figured since I randomly spoke with his former agent for a few hours I could throw some random Dalton Pompey info out there.

    Just an aside on Pompey. There are major major makeup issues with him. What did he do? This is literally the first I've ever heard of that. He's fired 4 agents since A-ball and got fired by 1. I actually sat down with one of his agents at the AFL in 14 and we talked extensively about him and the agent ended up dropping him because of his personality makeup and his father.

    He's not saying you formed the opinion because of the 70 PA. He's saying you used those 70 PA to make your case. Which, given what we know I've said about Almora for a while now, is not actually what happened. That I put the numbers there and restated the same opinion I've been offering underneath doesn't really mean I was making a case based on those 70 PAs. To avoid what I still see as manufactured drama, all I'd need to have written there was "I continue to believe...." Just an aside on Pompey. There are major major makeup issues with him.

    Has Fred retired? I miss the statistical oddity posts in the game threads.
  11. Agony and Ivy
    The GIants are going to be lucky to make the playoffs. Running out the likes of Matt Cain and Angel Pagan is quite stupid.
  12. Agony and Ivy
    This bums me out.
  13. Agony and Ivy
    I am just really disappointed that we won't get to face Lincecum.
  14. Agony and Ivy
    Wait...are we already miserable about the best team in baseball playing the Cardinals and maybe getting swept? Jesus even if that happens the division is over. Why can't we be happy when the Super Cubs are here? Childhood trauma probably. That or a general depressive/pessimistic demeanor. When baseball wasn't fun last month I'll admit I started looking at ways we could blow the division but this team is just supremely talented and the Cardinals keep running out Jedd Gyorko. There is no Devil Magic. They're just mediocre and we are the best team in the game.
  15. Agony and Ivy
    No, I am saying that losing 40 percent of your division lead in four games is meaningful. Wait...are we already miserable about the best team in baseball playing the Cardinals and maybe getting swept? Jesus even if that happens the division is over. Why can't we be happy when the Super Cubs are here?

    That is uh weird If the taxes are drastically up because of it then it could make sense. I dont know how much a stadium could impact taxes on an individual when dispersed through a big city though. Plus taxes are pretty low in Texas anyways i hear. Hank Hill might be pissed though... Rangers arent dem Cowboys.. Taxes in Texas are the same as anywhere they just get you in different places than a place like Chicago. Property taxes in Texas are some of, if not the highest in the country. The way the stadium got passed was shady and is being fought right now. Just because you think ah it's only a few dollars here and there doesn't make it right. The tax dollars being used will be taken from somewhere in the populace and why be a party to giving billionaires more money when you can move to another part of the state enjoy the same quality of life and not have to have your money stolen from you? Totally weird. They're also still paying for the $2b monstrosity that is the Cowboys new stadium. There are also other things that go up in price when a stadium gets built. Slowly but surely people are waking up to the fact that paying for stadiums is a giant con game perpetrated by cities around the country.

    This AB for Heyward will be disgusting
  18. Agony and Ivy
    The Rangers getting a new stadium is even more disgusting. I have friends leaving the Arlington DFW area because of it.
  19. Agony and Ivy
    Half of their opening day roster is gone or on the DL or sonny Gray.
  20. Agony and Ivy
    Khris Davis throws the ball like I imagine Lester would playing in the field
  21. Agony and Ivy
    I wouldn't mind Bryant being the MVP Bryant again
  22. Agony and Ivy
    It's just reclaimed sewage
  23. Agony and Ivy
    Everyone repent
  24. Agony and Ivy
    I'm actually starting to feel bad for Overton. He shouldn't be up here.
  25. Agony and Ivy
    Rizzo springing for tickets in Oakland and he gets those seats?
