Lazorko Saves

You mean you can't get excited about Scott Schebler and Jose Iglesias?

Full no trade clause. Previous statements that he wanted to stay on the east coast. Why is this even a topic?

I'm not convinced we just non-tendered a bunch of guys making between $700k - $1.9m (excluding the easy call on Robles) only to go out on the open market and get several guys who will all cost multiples more than that. Maybe we spend on one high end bullpen guy and the rest are dumpster dives. I don't know. Going out to the free agent market to build a bullpen sucks, but here we are.

Ugh, another year of Gas Can Noe blowing up those 1-run/tied games. (While he goes lights out when in all those 5+ run games so ya'll can point to how good his numbers are.)

The Orioles sure do seem to like our B-level pitching prospects.

What flashing strobe lights are to epileptics, this name is to dyslexics.

I would prefer this guy, so Gubie can mangle his name into Some-Bum Nah. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/kbo-slugger-sung-bum-na-posted-mlb.html

1. Don't fight the Fed. 2. Don't vote with your portfolio (ask people who went all cash November 2016 and stayed all cash how that went, and we can ask the same question in 2024 of a different set of people). 3. Your bias should always be to be invested, rather than all cash. (Stated another way, don't fight the free market.) 4. In the long term, we're all dead anyway. 5. Did I mention don't fight the Fed?

That was the old Pete Incaviglia rule. It's been changed to the new Trea Turner rule in 2015. That being, teams can trade players from the last draft beginning on the day following the conclusion of the World Series. So less than a full year now.

Well, going off the drawing, there's a single grass field out near the 51 freeway 57 freeway that will fit about 120 cars. So, figure parking will cost something like $150, but there will be parking.

"This is not the left hander you are looking for."

Yeah, I knew you would be one who wouldn't get it.

Not if you follow the two step recipe I described above.

You should ask someone who subscribes, like me.

The Bally's name as a trademark is a confusing mess. Caesars just sold the trademark name for casinos last month to a company that was called Twin River. That company has now changed their name to Bally's Corporation and apparently intends to re-brand their casinos and racetracks to the Bally's name. Caesars still owns the Bally's Las Vegas property and apparently keeps the rights to that name in Las Vegas. Maybe they'll rename that property in the future. The deal with our favorite local sports network is with this recently renamed company, not Caesars. Best I can tell, the nearest property this company owns to SoCal is in Colorado, the Arapahoe Park race track in Aurora, CO. Presumably this is a marketing move in aid of Bally's online sports betting segment. The whole deal is kind of strange. EDIT - Ah, I see now the deal is with the whole of the Fox Sports regional networks, not just FSW. So, okay. Proximity of their physical properties to SoCal isn't relevant.

I will always read the name "Bally Sports West" in Bertie Wooster's voice.

You know it. I shall endeavor to live up the high standards the previous "Fire [insert Angels staff member name here]" threads set.

At least you didn't play the "You're 74 years old, don't let what happened to Gene Autry happen to you" card.

No, technically, I stated that I think it's reason enough to start the "Fire Minasian" thread here. Not exactly the same thing. With a pinch of hyperbole on my part.

Cano should have known better than to take a product named Stanozololololol.

Okay, but we didn't non-tender Keynan at the beginning of 2019, after the surgery. When we was making league minimum. Maybe what ya'll are saying is we should have done it then. He's gonna likely be finally healthy now, and the approximately $350k or so Arb2 pay increase is now not worth it? I don't get that. Was the $563k for a mostly lost 2019 worth it?

Have you traveled here from the future? Can you tell us what happens to Pujols? To Walsh? Oh wait, actually, can you answer this first: What is the current price of the S&P 500 from the time you are from?

Really? You have an opportunity to educate me here. Name those 10-20 guys who are: 1. Age 27 or less. 2. Throw upper 90s/touching 100. 3. Have 95+ MLB IP with sub 3.5 ERA, and 9+ K/9. 4. Have team control all the way out through 2023.
