  1. "10 ABs, gotta start a thread, 10 ABs, yeah, 10 ABs, K-Mart sucks!"
  2. Good times... https://angelswinblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/10-aug-21-2007-ga-has-night-to-remember.html https://angelswinblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/7-oct-20-2002-salmon-blasts-give-angels.html https://angelswinblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/4-oct-27-2002-garret-anderson-clears.html
  3. Per your request... https://www.theprepperjournal.com/2016/10/18/pressure-canning-for-preppers/
  4. There was a fangraphs article that suggested that it wasn't so much the innings total but a combination of game pitch count and not adhering to the Smart Pitch guidelines regarding rest. He was overused according to FG and that's the only reason he dropped to the Angels.
  5. My response to this thread exactly.
  6. If all teams allocate salary based on supposed franchise value, and not on operating, television and other yearly revenue, and the stock of baseball talent remains static, that wouldn't have any impact on player salaries would it? As in, a huge influx of money divided among a fixed pool of recipients? Alex Wood is a very clear thinking individual.
  7. "Lack of Institutional Control" would not have been the verdict if they inadvertantly violated some process rules. It was their monumental hubris during the investigation that led to the penalties because rather than cooperating and letting the blame fall on the specific people who were primarily responsible, Garrett/Carroll, they circled the wagons. Those two put themselves above the institution and because of it, the penalties were warranted.
  8. Pear is a shape, and he's never been pearier.
  9. It's still an unknown, and likely will always be an unknown, what the communication was between Eppler and Friedman when the Sox started two-stepping the Betts deal because of fan backlash. We never did find out who the players going back were going to be and I find it plausible that Friedman, while explaining to Eppler the delay in the Angels deal, also may have indicated that the players in addition to Rengifo may need to be changed. They had a handshake deal in place and Friedman and Arte had differing views on what a handshake deal obligates you to. Of course, one man's integrity is another mans impetuousness but I do believe Arte was motivated to move on based on his own personal sense of integrity. At the end of the day, an (non-corporate) owner has to make decisions that allow for them to live with themselves and enjoy their role for the long term and I'm OK with Arte making decisions based on that, even when I don't like the results or might have made a different decision in his place.
