how far is he from like joey gallo contact -
-
He did have a really nice AB yesterday with the bases loaded. Worked a 3-2 count and then hit a 103.5mph liner that had a .660 xBA but was caught by an OF. Given that the Cubs went out of their way to retain him from the Dodgers he’s going to get his shots I think missed a long grand dong by a few feet foul in that AB too

wonder how long grandpa is gonna hit our best hitter 6th -
I get it, but when he signed that $73M extension (about $30M was club options, to be clear), he was far from a certainty to be worth anything close to that. He was pretty bad in 2013. I also don't think the offers were below fair market value. I wouldn't have wanted the Cubs to sign him to the deal they offered him. Anyway, he's a selfish anti-vax idiot so whatever Yeah, that's revisionist nonsense Not at all. The timing of that contract was such that I never wanted him extended. It expired at a point when it's a bad idea to sign any first baseman to a big contact. I'm sure there are receipts here if you're bored enough to search for them. The only positive I ever saw to extending him was the nostalgia/emotion factor, and, well, I'm a robot.

He's also only considering loyalty going one way. The Cubs seem to have made very fair offers to all their stars. They chose to pursue a bigger paycheck. Nothing against them - this is their one chance to get that fat paycheck. Just don't complain about loyalty afterwards. I sort of agree with you, but the offers were considered to be below fair market value at the time. But in a free market, the value is what you can get. I think Rizzo is upset because he signed a below-market value extension while they were blowing smoke up his ass about being the face of the franchise and other ego-boosting nonsense and when it came time to pay him all the sudden it was a cold numbers game. I'm a labor guy, so in my mind, they kind of treated him pretty horsefeathers, if you can call multi-millions of dollars that.

Fly it! :flythew:

that would require a manager that actually knows what the horsefeathers he's doing and isn't likely suffering from CTE
-
oh man i thought that was out but i'll take it!
-
i was wondering the same thing but then thought i must've been seeing things or it was a drop of sweat or something

i really can't stand how david ross manages

I have a feeling I'm not going to be mad at Suzuki's at bats very often
-
oh he definitely was
-
Same. I canceled during the lockout and am in no hurry to resubscribe. Just FYI (and for anyone else) - if either of you guys happen to have T-Mobile as your cell carrier, you can get it for free.
-
I think Hoyer explicitly said that over the lockout they decided to shift their attention to (without specifically naming who from) Suzuki (which, why not both?) but that could have just been putting window dressing on the story. FWIW, I don't see what doesn't pass the sniff test about what is being reported.
-
i can't answer that for you, other than just the fact that he's on mlb network and likely finds himself around people who would know these things he's been the one of the main mlb network guys for a little while now and is a local guy (so that's probably part of the reason the score had him on)

Here's the actual clip and some more

https://twitter.com/670TheScore/status/1511778754674282497?s=20&t=6LHJTQ1oTrfjc0eEymlcnQ you can file this one under "duh" but it's nice to see reported anyway.

this has to be the switching to boras horseshit right?
-
Thanks for the heads up! Almost forgot about it. This is how I've gotten MLB.tv every year for the past few years.

there's literally no reason to keep him around if the team happens to catch lightning in a bottle, he's going to make them worse. if the team is bad as expected, who the hell cares what you're paying him to not play for you anyway? and it gives you a chance to see if someone who actually has a chance of being good is good.
