Dolfan in NYC Posted February 26 Posted February 26 You will be shocked to hear that Giancarlo Stanton is hurt. In the interview he says his elbow is so bad right now that he cannot "open a bag of chips" or "a soda bottle." He still expects to play a full season (lol)
elizium Posted February 26 Posted February 26 9 hours ago, RIPPA said: Max Scherzer is returning to the Blue Jays 1 year deal worth $3 million There are $10 million in incentives (starting with him just needing to pitch in 65 innings) The agreement also contains a full no trade clause Love that he's coming back, don't even care if he's washed. One of my favourite players of all time. It will be a win if he continues to be Trey Yesavage's mentor
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Tommy Hutton, who's been doing the Marlins' color commentary since the 1990s will retire at the end of this season.
RIPPA Posted March 3 Author Posted March 3 The Mets Nolan McLean developed "vertigo like" symptoms thus delaying his joining of Team USA The symptoms are gone so he will pitch tomorrow and if eveything is normal, he will then join Team USA

RIPPA Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 It should be noted that Grand Slam was part of Japan scoring 10 runs in the 2nd inning. It was 13-0 after 3. Thank God - the WBC uses the mercy rule in round robin Ohtani - over the first two innings - had 3 hits and was a triple shy of the cycle 1
RIPPA Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 One thing I learned is that Joseph Contreras clearly has no fear just like his dad
hammerva Posted March 7 Posted March 7 I hope this isnt as offensive as it sounds but why are about 30% of Brazilian team Asians. Watching the US team, it feels like the thing stopping them is apathy or Othani

I just learned this this morning - Brazil apparently has the largest population of Japanese folks outside of Japan - specifically in San Paulo 1
RIPPA Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 Well that didn't take long - Tarik Skubal pitched one game for the US and now is trying to convince the Tigers and Scott Boras to let him stay
Cobra Commander Posted March 10 Posted March 10 looking at the Fanatics site since I got multiple Fanatics gift cards that I might use one day and I can report that "Pete Alonso New York Mets Fanatics Authentic Autographed White Nike Replica Jersey" is down to $200 and is in clearance right now, if anybody is interested
Cobra Commander Posted March 11 Posted March 11 who knew that a team managed by a TV host who thought the USA had already advanced and led by Aaron Judge would need Italy to beat Mexico to advance out of group stage

Mister TV Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Francisco Cervelli was one of my favorite recent Pirate players, really love what he's done with this Italian team.
RIPPA Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 I would hope this would cost DeRosa his media gig too but MLB Network still employs Harold Reynolds so I don't have much hope
