Dolfan in NYC Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Offseason thread had 1000 posts. Perfect. Now, the real fun begins! Pitchers and catchers report today! Also, nothing makes me happier than seeing Boston has spent $95,000,000 on this: Well, maybe that the Yankees spent $300,000,000 on this: Welcome back baseball!

Joe Lucia Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I love everyone losing their shit about Pablo when all the other pics of him taken today look fine. Hell, a Giants fan I know said he looked a bit skinner than usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 He's playing in Boston, that will be a thing much more talked about it because of that and that alone. Gotta have Sox stories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimLivingston Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My friend pointed this out to me today after that pic got circulated. I'm with Joe. I think he's doing fine with the weight stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Gassed already. But seriously guys, everyone breaks in their new mitt by strapping it to their abdomen nowadays so you can't really tell what's what until that part is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Kenley Jansen will miss 8-12 weeks due to surgery on his foot. So Mid-April at earliest. Could be Mid-May at latest. God - I will wet myself if the Dodgers now give K-Rod the $10 million he wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sad thing is, that'll be a better investment than Brian Wilson's $10 million last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Was looking at Deadspin and found this gem showing some old Houston Astros programs from the 60's. Really funny and shows how much you could get away with that day: http://deadspin.com/1960s-astros-programs-were-weird-1686501644 My favorite: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm going to need a bottle of that to get through the year as a Reds fan. At least we get the All Star Game this year. I couldn't tell if that was Sandavol or Jameis Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The Tigers have announced that Miggy's rehab from surgery is going well and they expect him in the lineup Opening Day. That's great news, Tigers fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Lucia Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's the new market for local MLB TV deals. I believe it's now nine teams in the midst of billion dollar local deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdA Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 So, Rosenthal is reporting that the 3 changes to speed up the game to be announced today will be: Managers must challenge replays from dugout. Batters must keep one foot in box unless an established exception occurs. Play to resume promptly once broadcast returns from commercial break.

muhammedboehm Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Has there been any talk of what the penalty will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Has there been any talk of what the penalty will be? Haven't heard yet. Generally, with the second the ump will tell the pitcher to pitch and call a strike - at least that's how they work it in HS ball with that rule. With the third I guess an automatic ball on the pitcher? And I guess with the first the umps would just not accept the challenge if the manager attempts to do the "kill time wait for the video guy thumps up/down" dealie they did last year. The Commish is supposed to announce the details today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's scheduled for Monday.Jurickson was a lot of fun to watch in Spokane. Major league-ready defensively as a shortstop at 17? Unreal. Sucks to see him having so many injuries.

These three changes will have the combined effect of eliminating approximately 7.3 seconds from games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
