BrianS81177 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I demand to know what planet Madison Bumgarner is actually from. There's no chance that man is a human being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Every reporter that has read Garaunteed Rate Field off a teleprompter today has gotten confused and unsure of what they're saying.

grilledcheese Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Did my heart good to see Bumgarner put in all that excellent work yesterday and get a ND because the $60MM closer that was supposed to be the answer for SFG blows his first shot. Meanwhile, Kershaw goes out today and does what he typically does. 7 IP, 2 H, 2R (1 ER), 0 BB and 8 K. And he went 1-2, drew a BB and scored twice. Bats were fucking loud today, Pederson with the big blast, Grandal HRs from both sides, and everyone in the starting lineup tallies a hit. Great start to new year.

Most likely, Clayton is making $33MM this year and the Pads started today with a whole lot of MLB minimum salaries on field .Wil Myers is likely the highest paid Padre this year at $4.5MM, but they are only responsible for 3 million of it. SD's payroll for the year is just shy of $70MM, and an article on Fangraphs from a couple of weeks ago had them with about 55% of those dollars as being paid to players not on their roster. In yesterday's San Diego Union-Tribune: Quote In a glaring representation of their rebuild, the Padres’ opening-day payroll is roughly $68.5 million, $31.5 million of which will go to players no longer on the team. So Kershaw is making more money than the entire payroll of guys still in SD, not just the starting 9 today.

PetrolCB Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Was nice to see the Phils get a game one win. Cesar knocking a lead off homer is hopefully a great omen for the year. Lineup looked great. Got a bit sketchy at the end but I was glad they could pin the Reds for the 3-count to seal the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was she just goofing on the hosts of whatever radio show she was on and it got blown way out of proportion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, a) The Bushes are actually rich, and have run a baseball team successfully before, b) Jeter would bring some necessary star power to a city obsessed with celebrity, c) anyone but Loria, and most importantly, d) Shut up.
