Also, not sure how better training would impact a hamate bone break or batting a ball of someone's leg.  Sometimes shit happens.  They don't seem to have an excessive number of hammy pulls or muscle strains, stuff where you could more easily make a connection to poor training/conditioning

So it is the the Indian burial ground!

Texas is about to lose their 8th game in a row. they're down 10-1 in 7th.

Missed opportunity.

Sounds like a good ballplayer! Is he a good first baseman tho with these projected stats?

He's not getting the mega 600 million contract now in free agency, and I feel bad for the guy, even if it's like some have said that he doesn't care about money. It's plausible that this injury will cost him 300 million++. That's a huge chunk of change to lose, it's generational money. It's gotta sting the guy. Yes I know he's still filthy rich, but are his great grandchildren still filthy rich?

My point is I see a few posters putting forward the notion that the Halos should offer him a relatively modest 2 or 3 year contract at 30 or 40 mil annual.

There is still going to be a franchise that offers him a couple hundred million contract..200/300 million contract. If your Shohei at this point being damaged goods to an extent, why do you not take the bigger contract for financial security from a better franchise who is competitive?

Why would he want to sign a 2 year 80 million contract with the crappy Angels?

Someone is still going to pay the man, it just will not be in the 600M range.

On another note since Ohtani has been dictating his workload , if he had decided to shut it down pitching wise after his arm fatigue recently do you know how much shit this board would of gave him. It would have been the right decision for him personally esp since the team was done.

Are there really any posters here that are? 

Yes!

In lieu of Rendon directly stating that he hates baseball and doesn't want to play, this is about as credible as we're going to get regarding this matter.

Paging all Rendon apologists.

Okay

 

Your opinion. I have a good reason to believe otherwise. 

A little elaboration would go a long way towards making your case.

I'm not necessarily calling BS, but what you got?

You don't have to give up any sources to share a few details, if indeed you have any.

Happy Birthday!!

Nothing wrong with it, it is just that the samurai dies and the good guys lose.

Samurai didn't lose in their mind...a honorable death!

Imagine that existed at some point to some extent.

Hey I've read a few books on them, not just seen the movie...I'm an expert!

Lol!

We can hope that his favorite movie is The Last Samurai.

Love this movie! One of my favorites!

What's wrong with this movie?

Cruise isn't even irritating in it.

You don’t love me that much, which is fine but I got a question for you.  Would you characterize me as someone who is negative about the team?  

No! To a fault.

You two need to get a room for FFS.

I've never even heard of this Polonia guy, but he had sex with a 15 year old and he only got 60 days in jail plus a $1500 fine. The judge also delayed sentencing until after the baseball season. He returned to baseball the next season. Crazy how times have changed.

Polonia looked like a 15 year old with excessive facial hair and gold jewelry...So there's that.

"I'm just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ballclub.  I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out."

Rendon should try wearing pantyhose and breathing thru his eyelids.

You "assumed" that (allegedly), but still proceeded to blame Nevin. 

How big is Nevin's sword?

Don't choke out man.

Just more evidence of a dysfunctional organization. Multi million dollar business being ran like a bikini car wash without the entertainment value.

I made the reference to business and someone will point out that Arte is probably making money hand over fist. True, but he's not winning titles.

I love that you with your pedestrian  life can’t believe some people actually live(d) adventurously.  Sucks to be you.  Mercedario, 1998, with Latvian partner Andrejs (RIP).  

Buddy no one cares or GAF about your biography on this site, which you seem to be compelled to put forward at every opportunity.

Years ago I took a nasty fall while mountaineering in Argentina.  Hiked out three days with a huge hematoma and bone chips on my shin.  But Rendon can’t swing a bat for nearly a quarter million per game.  Uh huh.  Someone isn’t trying too hard.

I'm calling Bullshit on this.

They have been outscored 35-6 in the state of Texas!

It's just not even close.

 Notice who he’s always making the snarky quotes to?

Was Sam Blum in Washington for Rendon's sardonic comments there?

Rendon was producing in DC, so how he handled the media there may have been colorful and endearing. Not so much in Anaheim.

Man he was a damn good ballplayer for the Nats!

F* these threads.  Play one game at a time and win.  Then see what we need.

Some people just need the math.
