Fish Oil

So the 10/300 he turned down from the Nats was actually the best offer he would receive, haha.

I'm in my mid-fifties and fat. If anyone could get me a contract it would be Boras. Sign me up.

Great stuff, thanks. Seeing the new way the Angels are looking at everything has me pretty excited for this season.

The discovery of fire. The invention of the wheel.

With Tatis waiting in the wings, does Machado play SS or 3B?

I was hoping he would go to the Padres. A couple years from now they will be helluva team. Go Padres!!

Do what now?

I have no idea how much they have, but I've seen plenty of speculation about whether they will sign both Harper and Machado this offseason.

The Phillies openly say they have stupid money to spend. If I had a team and stupid money I would want both Harper and Trout.

Living in self-delusion can be quite satisfying, but there does come the occasion when reality delivers a crisp slap to the face.

Let's bring this discussion back to Jesus. I'll bet that dude could hit a baseball pretty far and he has star power. Whad'ya think?

The practice of teams being willing to overpay for a player's declining years in order to have a player for his premium years has certainly gone to the wayside. The Twins current contract obligations may be an extreme example of this trend, or it may not be. Either way, as you pointed out, this situation will be interesting to watch.

So what they are saying is that Harvey is a little butthurt?

Showalter's opinion of Machado's talent is very favorable. As for his other issues:.... https://nypost.com/2018/11/07/the-behind-the-scenes-problems-and-on-field-brilliance-of-manny-machado/ Showalter questions whether Machado's drive to play will continue when he has a long term contract. Machado has been benched for a lack of hustle, he has been suspended for throwing a bat at another player and suspended for charging the mound. Talent-wise, he is likely one of the top ten most talented players in baseball. Personality-wise, he is immature and selfish.

Machado's behavior on the Dodgers was an extension of his behavior with the Orioles. He has a long and well-deserved reputation for this sort of juvenile nonsense.

I'm not a Phillies fan, but I remember watching this play as it happened. Great stuff, thanks. 1980 WS. Boone muffed a popup and Rose caught it.

Mostly, I see people laughing at the absurdity. This war against words is meaningless. It's the actions of people that count. Wa-Alaikum-Salaam

I see a lot of sarcastic levity. Aside from that the only butthurt I see is from Rally Mo and Dude.

I think 80 to 82 wins is the floor. If the pitching stays healthy I see no reason we can't be very competitive for the 2nd WC spot.

When it comes down to it, the name "Baseball" has waaaay too many insensitive implications. I think we should simply ban the sport and be done with this outrageous offense to sensibility.

Had the opportunity to watch him play a few times. Always one of my favorites. Thanks for the memories Frank. RIP

Noe Ramirez will have the lowest WHIP on the staff? The WHIPS for the five starters are within a range of .05? I'm not pretending to be an expert, but some of these numbers look like someone just threw darts at a board.

Wait...they're also projecting Ohtani to pitch nearly 80 innings this year?
