Dolfan in NYC Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh yeah baby, we're back for another season of baseball! Now, let me just see what the Marlins have been up t... Oh. Oh dear... Well, I guess the rest of you enjoy your seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm now fine with the Yu deal. Cubs now have a top 4 bullpen and rotation or something like that. Still not crazy about the years or the NTC, but there's enough sweeteners in the contact to make it easier to swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Bruce Sherman is amazing. Bring on Jeter as a minority non-controlling owner, make him the public face, go scortched earth on the franchise to continue the small market team grift, and let Jeter take all the blame. That was smart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The Detroit Tigers posted a video of just guys playing catch so you could hear the smack of the leather and ball. What an awesome sound. If you're a true baseball fan*, it's a sensory experience. The sound of the ball hitting a mitt, the crack of the bat, the smell of the ballpark, the colors of the field, and so on. I like other sports more than baseball now but they don't have the sensory pull that baseball does. * - no disrespect to anyone who has lost sight /smell /etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'm usually all in favor of players getting their money when and where they can, but yeah in this instance it's really hard to support the players. Hosmer has TWO 7 year deals worth 20+ million a year on the table and that's not good enough? JD Martinez is "disgusted" that he's only gotten a 5 year, 125 million dollar offer from Boston? I do feel bad for the journeyman veteran guys who you see sign 1 and 2 year deals, since even that seems to have dried up, but I just can't drum up any support for guys like Hosmer and Martinez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 What are you talking about Rippa? Signing pitchers whose arms and shoulders are held together by paper clips and duct tape always works out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the rumours are true now that Jackie Redmond has been moved from Sportsnet maybe the Jays can pay attention to baseball as opposed to clandestine hookups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
