Maybe he got traded and they’re pulling him mid at-bat.

Let me dream.

Hahaha, I brought a cafe. People wait when there are runners in scoring position. 

I'm feeling optimistic, so, take game 3 tomorrow and the A's series sets up a VERY interesting series against Baltimore.

Hi Aussie, players often put specific teams on their no-trade lists for a couple of reasons:

1) They just don't like the potential of that team to win it all at the time they make their no-trade list decision and/or they don't want to move there or just don't like the local/environment. It gives them some degree of certainty on where they will land if they do get traded (i.e. not a team or city they don't feel comfortable at)

2) Players sometimes use it as a leverage tool for a team they DO want to go too. Ex: Ian Kinsler, not too long ago, was being shopped and the Dodgers expressed interest. However Kinsler said he would use his no-trade clause unless they gave him an extension which they didn't do (and that completely backfired on Ian IMHO)

Thanks a lot for that mate!

Hey all, slightly off topic but I was reading the MLB article about darvish being delt, and it said he has a no-trade clause with 10 teams. Having only played for the rangers, why would he actively not want to play for 10 separate teams?

Just curious is all. Cheers.

Cannot stay fit. Terrible slide 

Luis, on the off chance that either you are reading this or someone is reading this for you. 

Fuck off.

Great stuff Bridwell. A real surprise this year so far. Just waiting for his arm to fall off tbh

Amazing win. Perplexed by Nolasco, but congrats dude. 

I love you bedrock.

Eric Young Jr. starts. Fontana bats at 6. 

What a time to be alive.

That was the worst helmet throw I've ever seen. Completely agree though, just walk him. No need to be a dickhead and nail him with the fastball.

Hey all. 

Ive been following this forum for a little while and decided it's time to post. I'm from Melbourne, Australia and have been following baseball for a few years. I only started properly watching last season but wasn't satisfied with the amount of games I could watch due to time differences and such, and only got to watch about 80 games.

In February I purchased a cafe with the best internet connection money can buy. I will not miss a game this season haha.

Sorry for the life story.
