2019 MLB Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 1270

Goddamn that was this year huh.. I knew it was recent but not that recent. His season last year was awesome. I need to read that to understand this lol

 

Whit’s extension is a case of a player debuting pretty late, thus not being eligible for FA until his 30s. Despite being a really good major leaguer, we know he would’ve gotten peanuts if he ever made it to FA because of how teams value players on the wrong side of 30. And god forbid he had a career ending injury, it’s easy to see why he and his agent were willing to take a small payday vs the possibility of never getting one.

Whit is already 30, which is surprising.

 

That's another reason why this system stinks. Late bloomers are penalized the most. They don't have the opportunity to hit FA in their prime, or the later stages of it. So they can't recoup on lost income. The mandatory mins have to go, and arbitration should be for every year, if they are so keen on keeping the 6-year team control.

I can get behind the rational of why players do this, but the point is they shouldn't have to.

 

@Jason Tate I knew I read this somewhere, should at least rule out a dreaded Bauer for Frazier trade

Report: Yankees Uninterested In Dealing Clint Frazier For Rental

 

Darvish v. Archer pitching duel.

According to Trevor Bauer, he’s never signing more than a one year deal, so he could be considered a rental every year.

 

go dodgers

 

Baseball back woo

 

I like this version of German.

 

God Joe West is trash

 

Yordan is such a damn stud

 

every swing is beautiful

 

Everyone on the Angels is wearing Skaggs' uniform tonight.

 

YORDAN AGAIN

 

Oh great. Freddie fouled a ball and it drilled the home plate ump and he had to exit the game.

Now Angel fucking Hernandez is back there.

 

Skaggs mom brought the HEAT for this pitch. So awesome.

 

Donaldson brought the rain.

 

This is going to be a BAD Indians loss

 

Every Cleveland loss is a good loss from where I’m standing

 

Mariners just made their MLB leading 93rd error of the year.

The next closest team has 68.

Yikes.

 

Angels trying to hit 45 runs tonight. Already at 5 runs in the first with only 1 out.

 

Trout is halfway to the cycle.

They're not out of the 1st inning yet.

 

what a ridiculous game, freakin Rondon man ugh

 

Trout will probably get his career OPS to 1.000 tonight or tomorrow.

Silly

 

Rays and Angels both with 7 run 1st innings tonight. Wowowow
