Wow.

He was safe. 

I liked your announcer's reaction.

Would not rule out Houston just yet. They'll get Verlander back Friday and Valadez seems to have dodger serious injuries. Even with those guys, I don't think there the same teams as the previous few years. At best they'll be a wildcard team. 

Being 41 has to catch up to Verlander at some point right? I'm 41, not out of shape, and my body still reminds me daily of my age. 

God damn the AL West sucks!

Which part of the eclipse did they view?

You know Angel Hernandez stared directly at it the entire time. 

Also nice Kitsuragi profile pic. 

Least ya'll didn't lose watching your closer walk 4 batters in a row for a walk off walk. 

I can't understand how the Red Sox got Tyler O'Neill for peanuts from the Cardinals.

The Rangers world series banner looks like it was printed at the dollar store 

Fits their Walmart Warehouse stadium perfectly.

Ready for a new season with a new slate. Be interesting to see what happens all over.

Dipoto

 

Kelenic is batting a robust .077 with an OPS of .240 this Spring. I'd call this one a wash.

Kelenic is a head case and a bust. 

Also I heard Aroldis was hitting 74 during Spring Training but I had no idea that's what they meant.

Season two would like a word

I might put Season 4 as worse than Season 2. Season 4 was just so so bad after having a promising start.

There is a god. Too bad its 2029 and not now. 

Whoever is next will probably be a bigger douche if the trend continues anyway though.

@Ender we've always welcomed fans of other teams here as long as you're not trolling. We used to have a ton of Rangers fans and a few Mariners fans, one hardcore A's fan post here regularly. 

I love talking baseball with fans of all teams, not just the Halos fans. 

Oh I know. I have never felt unwelcome here.

Seattle is overpaying. Getting a good player but not a difference maker.  But obviously they think they can contend. I think they overestimate their roster. Down the road I doubt they win this deal. But the future is now for them it seems. 

Gabriel Gonzalez could be nothing. He got massively exposed when promoted to High A, but of course .... just 19. 

The others in the trade don't matter at all.

Cris Cyborg would beat the tar out of this girl, what is your point? The thread isn't "hey lets post hot famous girls", its "hey the most badass female fighter on the planet is a massive Angels fan".

I remember Amanda Nunes beating the shit out of her. 

I would hardly call her the most badass female fighter on the planet after moving to Bellator and beating up on some 40 year old cans.

Sign him and undo the stupid RF wall line.

Even as a non-Angels fan I can get behind this. 

Baseball needs a salary cap and floor or it's going to be a dying sport. 

That being said, I'm jealous as fuck of the Dodgers as a Mariner fan.

Mariners owners are twats!

Every Mariner fan is about fed up and sick of them. Not so much Dipoto as I believe he has had the rug pulled out from under him as well by these cheap ass billionaires.

Who could have most upside in this trade. I say White

He will never be healthy. That's the Mariner experience with him anyway. 

God I hate the fucking Yankees.

Also the Reds finished above .500 and get the 2nd pick? Yeah this lottery is dumb.

I guess I don’t understand why they need a lottery.  W-L itself was a pretty good indicator of who sucked and who needed higher draft picks.  The lottery hurts competitive balance, it doesn’t help in any way.

I agree. I mean it combats "tanking" for years as a strategy ... but other than that ... it hurts everything else. 

The first three picks of the draft are almost always impactful .... now it's just random. 

This lottery is dumb. 

I mean this deal makes zero sense, along with the Suarez move, if other things aren't somewhat lined up??? 

I soured on Kelenic long ago, but I don't think I was ready to truly give up on him (Half a season of more failure would have done it though).

I'm thinking they might actually be going for the Arozarena trade.
