Along with Longs retirememt that puts them at about 25m in cap. Still not a lot, around bottom 10. They could still free up some more, most notably Floyd's 13M. And extend ARob.

I think that's gotta be just poor wording on the answer (since the original question was about game broadcasts)
-
yeah they haven't had sports on the superstation for a long time.

it amazes me how many people are acting like the blackout rules have anything to do with this. like, the blackout rules have been very dumb for a very long time, but it's got absolutely nothing to do with this channel. i suppose a lot of it, ironically, is just confusion from the fact that people can get the channel pretty much anywhere even though the games will be blacked out.

Is he all of a sudden not going to play a [expletive] of games at Petco and Dodger Stadium and AT&T? and this
-
much of what he'll gain at coors he'll lose on the road because of the coors breaking ball hangover effect

This'll settle everything

i've seen a point being made of this (at least half seriously by some), but, eh, meh? these guys have all been to chicago many times, and many of them are on teams where it's just as, if not more, crappy all the time. it's not like this is their first and/or only time here to suddenly paint their idea of it.

you don't say?

My favorite thing (other than the obvious WS stuff) to watch from that run is the comeback in SF.

I think leaving Chapman in was where my loathing of Maddon was cemented for life. Christ, what an insanely lucky maniac; that article is like a slow motion panic attack. Yep, especially coupled with bringing him in for game 6 in the 7th horsefeathering inning with a 7-2 lead because there were two on with two out AND THEN sending him back out for the 8th inning. Just a slow motion train wreck that Schwarber, Zobrist, etc bailed out. That was what really pissed me off. Chapman had just come off like 40+ pitches and almsot 3 innings in game 5 and he's bringing him into a 5 run game?

Huh Descalso is owed $2.5 million this year and $1 million buyout in 2021. I can't see PTR eating $3.5 million while we're still over the LT. A sunk cost is a sunk cost. This isn't like Jason Heyward or something where you try to hold out and try to extract some value as long as possible because you have so much invested going forward. This is just some bum on the bench. If Kipnis is better and there are other more capable bench dudes ahead of him too, it would be horsefeathering stupid to keep him around because of his salary.

Spring Training 2020 (aka Mark Gonzales blurry photo szn)

Deciding to lead off the guy with a career .373 OBP, coming off a season he was over .400, and is 8th in MLB in OBP since 2014 doesn’t seem like a gut feeling. If it is, it’s at least a better feel than running Almora, Kemp, Descalso, etc out there at leadoff. yeah, to me we have a bunch of dudes i'd be fine with (on numbers alone) doing it, and there's definitely no justification for throwing actual terrible hitters there. the only wildcard to me is how the individual player reacts to it. heyward and schwarber might be totally fine there or might have totally been in their own heads about it (i believe both have said as much) - but we know rizzo embraces it. -

I think that's a given and I think it's at least a likely source of some minor improvement -
just as i was starting to let the spring training clips/pictures wash the disgusting taste of this offseason away from my mouth, they go back to doing dumb bad horsefeathers.

I thought it was Brett Jackson -
You're not a dumb person, so I'm not sure how you can't scroll up and see that I mentioned Kelly and Manziel in response to Omar's statement about Antonio Brown being in the XFL. When the league started adding players people were joking (not just me) that it'd be a league that could feature some fun QB matchups with talented headcases like Manziel or Kelly going against each other. However, at the time the XFL had a "no previous criminal record" policy. I've since learned they've rescinded that policy. And the bet was clearly about him starting in the NFL. Then you said that you made the "jab" about Kelly because I was over hyping an Ole Miss crush "once again". To which I'm now responding by asking you why you have a problem with Kelly being brought up in a proper context (as I always have) and why you think him being brought up in an XFL thread is over hyping him. Perhaps I'm misreading or misinterpreting a statement of yours. you're such a horsefeathering weirdo dude
