im more for ties than this...this is little league nonsense. its fine for the minor leagues to keep those games shorter.

the easy fix for mlb is to have an active/inactive list of each game. 2 players, or so, are inactive, which adds an extra arm to your pen that you can use in long games or blowouts. you need to counteract with a pitching change per inning limit but thats a different issue.

MLB exploring the option of automatic IBB instead of making the pitcher throw 4 balls.  This would maybe make sense if IBBs were constantly adding 15 minutes to games but they're pretty infrequent as it is and they're probably still faster than any regular 4 pitch at bat. 
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: ice grillin you on February 22, 2017, 06:13:30 AM
they have been exploring it for a long time...they actually passed it yesterday per player approval

Saw a couple different articles about it on FB yesterday and the comments were from mouth breathers who were butt hurt because it takes away the "excitement of a wild pitch allowing runners to advance or score." 

Seriously.  This is what people were saying.  This happens at the professional level with the same regularity of Halley's Comet passing by Earth. 

Also read 1 comment by a dude who said that they should only allow the automatic IBB when there are no runners on base.  Just gonna let that sink in for a bit.

I grew up in an era where showboating would get you drilled in the batters box.  Your own farging teammates would beat the shtein out of you in practice if you showboated during a game.  It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with you putting yourself in a position where the spotlight shines on you over the team. 

This generation simply looks at it differently.  Everything is me, me, me.   It's just something that I find distasteful.  And I'm not going to apologize because I was brought up to respect the field, the game and most importantly, the opposition.   

The histrionics that happen after every tackle in a football game disgusts me.  The bat flipping disgusts me.  The cocky mouthy bullshtein disgusts me.  Shut the farg up, get back in the huddle and do your job.  If you hit a home run, act like you've done it before.  Is that too much to ask?

I guess it is.  But I'm old and white and can't possibly understand other cultures who play the game differently.  Right??

Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: Sgt PSN on April 02, 2017, 02:53:16 PM
San Antonio is a cool little town, but Texas doesn't need more teams.  If a team is going to relocate, a region that doesn't have a team would be ideal. Not sure if Vegas can support an MLB team either. Football, yes. Only 1 day a week and draws visiting fans. Baseball fans don't travel like NFL fans do. And if I'm in Vegas for 4 days, sitting in 110 degree temps for 4 hours sounds awful. And if I live in Vegas I'd go to 3 or 4 games a year, tops.
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on April 02, 2017, 02:56:09 PM
Obviously in Vegas it would be a retractable roof dome but in addition to the tourists the locals could support a team better than what you see in Tampa

San Antonio would support a team because in order for those people to see MLB they have to drive three hours one way to Houston or four plus hours one way to Dallas.
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: QB Eagles on April 02, 2017, 03:04:07 PM
I think baseball and basketball owners are really curious to see how the NFL and NHL do in Vegas.

The other three you mentioned are all cities heavily dependent on fossil fuel energy (San Antonio a bit less than the other two). Trying to figure out what those markets will look like decades in the future is more of a dice roll than the actual dice rolling in Vegas. I was in New Orleans last weekend, and from what little I can remember from the weekend, it didn't exactly seem like a stable and growing place yet.
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: Sgt PSN on April 02, 2017, 03:21:19 PM
Vegas has about 600k people, many of whom already have their own team. There's also very little in terms of suburban population to draw from. There's Vegas and then nothing but desert for a couple hours in any direction.

KC is like 100k smaller in population, but there's probably 3x that many people living within a 1 hr drive.

But mostly people go to Vegas for entertainment and baseball isn't entertaining for people who don't genuinely love baseball. 
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: QB Eagles on April 02, 2017, 04:20:00 PM
Clark County has more than 2 million people permanently living there. Latest estimate puts it right above the KC metro area. Henderson and North LV have more than 200k people each, so I think we can say the Vegas suburbs is a real thing.

Biggest metro areas without a team are Charlotte, Orlando, San Antonio, Portland, Sacramento, and Vegas, in that order. Of course, that's not the same as the size of the media market or the baseball market. I live in Portland and baseball would fail hard here.

There's a lot of obstacles to it happening (they canceled a series there due to Zika last year for instance), but I think the most fascinating place to move the Rays would be San Juan. I feel like the island would go crazy over that. MLB isn't an organization I associate with risk-taking though.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the A's move to San Jose in a pure follow-the-money move either, but I think the Giants can block it.

Orlando is done giving out stadiums to billionaires.  The MLS team self-financed the new stadium and it turned out pretty goddamn spectacular.  Orlando could support a team easily but it's not gonna happen.  Charlotte would be a good place for the Rays to move.

theyd have a stadium there now but san fran claims san jose as its territory....fresno is a possibility. keeps them in "the market" and puts them in a place with rich people.

i cant see las vegas being able to support an mlb team. the market itself is about right for 2 teams, but 3? i can see the nba possibly working because there are fewer games and the stadium already exists.

puerto rico would need to invest in a new stadium or significantly upgrade the existing one. the island is insanely poor. i cant see how the money would be there. mexico city makes a bit more sense, though it would be tough scheduling thing to pull off.

montreal fell apart for a variety of reasons but a downtown open air ballpark would do well. a big question is does toronto want to welcome 2 AL teams in canada? or another all together? they currently own an entire country marketing wise. if montreal moves back to the NL, look for the marlins to move to the al east. it maybe a requirement when they are sold, to at least be open to the move, kind of like houston having to move to the AL when they were bought.

Clark County has more than 2 million people permanently living there. Latest estimate puts it right above the KC metro area. Henderson and North LV have more than 200k people each, so I think we can say the Vegas suburbs is a real thing.

Biggest metro areas without a team are Charlotte, Orlando, San Antonio, Portland, Sacramento, and Vegas, in that order. Of course, that's not the same as the size of the media market or the baseball market. I live in Portland and baseball would fail hard here.

Didn't realize it was that big. Grown a lot since I was last there. Guess I should have Googled it.

Oh well, I still think it'd be a shteiny place for a MLB team. What's Pete Rose think about it. That's the real tell.

Why do you keep saying that?  Jay has said a thousand times that he won't be cheering for Harper.  Would he cheer a home run if he hits one?   Yes.  Can you dislike the guy who hit it?  Yes.

and i think its absolutely ludicrous that you would not want a player that good on your favorite team...we arent talking about greg hardy we are talking about an annoying douche...like philly teams havent had a million of those in the past who you loved...think about how silly it is to not want a great player on your favorite team...even if what you say were true about not cheering for him wouldnt you want him helping your team win?

I'd cheer for anyone who did Philly a solid.  I could still dislike the guy for whatever reason. 

I hated Eric Lindros because he was a soft batch mama's boy.  I couldn't stand McNabb for the same reason.  I cheered like a maniac when they performed well on the ice or the field.

Yeah, I know, tear everything up.  Anything around more than 3 years must be thrown away.  Tradition sucks.

Fine with the DH (and tired of watching pitchers hit ineptly).  The automatic intentional walk thing is unnecessary, but whatever.  But leave the leagues alone - they're part of the roots of the game.

Interleague play doesn't bother me, as it still respects the identity of the leagues.  The Brewers and Astros switching did bother me some, but probably not as much as it would have if a team like the Phils or Cubs had switched over.

I guess in the end, if it happens, it happens.  I'd get over it, and it wouldn't stop me from watching baseball. (Hell, if the 1994 strike didn't do that, nothing will.  Damn addiction to the sport.)  Much worse and important things have happened this week than the realignment of sports leagues.

Can't say I'd like it, though.

for some reason i was watching clips of perfect games today and that brought me to the wiki page on perfect games. have heard both of these stories before but they are so ridiculous you cant even believe them re-reading them 100 times

QuoteOn June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth, then a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox, walked the Washington Senators' first batter, Ray Morgan, on four straight pitches. Ruth, who had already been shouting at umpire Brick Owens about the quality of his calls, became even angrier and, in short order, was ejected. Enraged, Ruth charged Owens, swung at him, and had to be led off the field by a policeman. Ernie Shore came in to replace Ruth, while catcher Sam Agnew took over behind the plate for Pinch Thomas. Morgan was caught stealing by Agnew on the first pitch by Shore, who proceeded to retire the next 26 batters. All 27 outs were made while Shore was on the mound. Once recognized as a perfect game by Major League Baseball, this still counts as a combined no-hitter.[49][50]

QuoteOn May 26, 1959, Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched what is often referred to as the greatest game in baseball history.[51] Haddix carried a perfect game through 12 innings against the Milwaukee Braves, only to have it ruined when an error by third baseman Don Hoak allowed Félix Mantilla, the leadoff batter in the bottom of the 13th inning, to reach base. A sacrifice by Eddie Mathews and an intentional walk to Hank Aaron followed; the next batter, Joe Adcock, hit a home run that became a double when he passed Aaron on the bases. Haddix and the Pirates had lost the game 1–0; despite their 12 hits in the game, they could not bring a run home. The 12 perfect innings–36 consecutive batters retired in a single game—remains a record.[52]

the most insane part of the last story is eddie matthews bunted. with hank aaron on deck. eddie matthews with a career 885 OPS and 512 homers farging bunted. that year he hit 46 homers and had a 390 obp. so they had a runner at 1st and 2 hall of famers up and neither got to swing the bat and they still won. baseball is lovely.
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: QB Eagles on May 12, 2017, 05:49:24 PM
To me, that's the magic of baseball. The rules are constructed so that there's only a small number of things that can happen at any given moment, but because of the sheer number of games, innings, at-bats, pitches, etc., virtually every combination of odd events that is capable of happening will happen at some point. Strangest of all, the Phillies even won the World Series a couple of times.

Not saying that bunting Mathews was a good thing, but Adcock was no slouch (.822 OPS lifetime, .874 in 1959) either.

Yes!

I love baseball on the radio.

Some of my fondest memories that I think back to often all involve listening to the Phils on the radio. The crackle of the AM signal. Harry and Whitey on the call. They let the game breathe and chunks of silence weren't foreign like many sports casts today.

Summer nights down the canal listening to the Phils while fishing with my grandpop and cousins. Or sitting on the porch in Cape May after a shower and a long day at the beach listening to the games.

When we moved away it killed me to not be able to listen. As soon as we would come home for our summer trip I was searching for 1210's signal in the car when we hit the state line.

One night in Kansas I was actually able to pick up the Phillies on 1210. Shocked the farg out of me. I opened my window and put foil on the antenna and I picked it up. 1210 was a powerful station. It stayed strong for awhile and then faded out.

I can remember listening on my grandfather's old radio (probably c1965 or so) in his garage.  Harry and Whitey (or Musser) on the call.  Late 70s / early 80s they didn't play many home games on TV either.

i went to detroit for a few days for some reason....was at the tigers game on sunday.

-comerica park isnt half bad. they have a lot of statues of tigers all over the place, which i thought was really cool but others thought was tacky.
-instead of having an wall of fame type of deal, hey just place historical things in the concourse of the park. kinda tough to see it and read it when theres 100 people trying to get by.
-the statue of ty cobb i get...but man he was a horrible horrible human and its not like thats a big secret.
-they have a standing room section basically in the middle of the 100 level, which is really cool.
-saw a guy in the crowd wearing a "white lives matter" tank top. so theres that.
-the park is directly next to ford field...like hugging it basically. its also across the street from the fox theater, which is where trump bragged about his dick during one of the repub debates. history!
-they had a bunch of tiger stadium memorabilia and pictures, but its in some pretty random places in the park. they also have 2 different merry go rounds. i dont know.

all in all not a bad park but beneath the bank. also detroit is a cool city and super cheap. also its the same size as philly but with less than half the population, so it feels like a ghost town. and a lot of people are on drugs.

SNY analyst Keith Hernandez was caught in an unfortunate spot tonight when the broadcast came back from commercial early and caught him unaware right as he was discussing how Washington Nationals starter Tanner Roark has been "getting his tits lit" lately.

Roark was knocked out in the third inning tonight after giving up six runs, after giving up seven runs in five innings last week. It is not immediately clear if such numbers meet the standard for getting one's lit, as such a standard could not be identified at the time of this writing.

A good but frustrating read on the pace of play and reasons behind it being like molasses. Frustrating because it illustrates how the game is dying.

I'll await lil guy to drop his hot takes on being an old guy but the facts are baseball is not what it was. Situational hitting is all but gone. The pitch counts which I hate suck - 466 times in 2000 a pitcher went for 120+ pitches. No one steal bases or bunts or throws to the right bases.

but last i checked the tv contract they signed is massive. salaries are going up. teenagers with no experience are getting million dollar contracts. harper, trout and machado are going to sign for a combined 1 billion dollars. the game is not dying.

i dont think theres really even such thing as pitch counts unless someone is coming off an injury

the prevailing factor in taking pitchers out is because there are more live arms now in the world and manager and general managers have figured out that its better to bring in a fresh wade davis and kelvin herrera than an 82 pitch jeremy guthrie

yesetrday scherzer tossed a million pitches because the nats have no bullpen (and dusty baker is a moron)

the problem with baseball is not that the sport has changed....in fact the game itself compared to other sports has been remarkable the same for 130 years but it has more competition now...it used to go against horse racing and boxing....then the superbowl started then magic and bird came then brandy chastain strip teased the nation...its been chipped away for decades by sports that people deem better to watch and dont underestimate this - easier to play

baseball is more like hockey now in that its a local sport....if you have a team its probably going to do great...however people in nebraska will watch the nfl or nba but they arent gonna give a shtein about baseball or hockey

I understand why you're like this - I mean, you didn't play and grew up in the SABR era where everything is all about spreadsheets.

Everything I said is valid. The bottom line is teams get a runner(s) on and wait for a home run. If you watch you'll see guys come up and try to rip a ball rather than just move a runner over. They swing from their heels and end up striking out (which is a yuge problem as the numbers are up) and stranding runners. Ok yeah of course there are a lot of harder throwers - which only goes back to what I am saying - just get the bat on the ball and play station to station rather than trying to launch a ball.

You named about the only three guys who steal bases. Congrats. My point still stands. Why have a guy try to steal when you're hoping for the next two/three guys jack a home run?

Half the dudes don't even know how to bunt - so when they have to get a bunt down - they look like fools.

And what does the coke fueled 80s or roid 90s have to do with the fact that baseball was played differently then? People played more fundamentally sound.

Post by: ice grillin you on June 22, 2017, 10:02:55 AM
im not even close to a billy bean type guy and wouldnt say dont EVER bunt like a lot of seam heads do but overwhelmingly bunting is a stupid strategy...youd do best to just get that idea out of your arguments because it devalues everything else you say especially to nerds

and baseball was more "fundamental" in the past because the players werent as good.....bat control is harder to pull off when the ball is coming at you 10 mph faster...its the same old timers argument in the nba...the players in the 80's were so much more fundamental...well of course they were because they werent as talented
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on June 22, 2017, 10:18:06 AM
I can see that.

Pitchers throwing harder? Adjust and use a lighter bat if they have a problem with their bat control and getting it through the zone.

I don't even want bunting all the time. But there are times when situations dictate a bunt getting laid down and half these fools look like idiots trying to do it. Better yet - when they have an extreme shift on against them and they stupidly swing away and either ground right into the shift or strikeout trying to yank one.

Rizzo, who Maddon moved to lead off, laid a bunt down the other day in this situation and I about cried tears of joy.

He got on base with it, genius.

And the bigger picture says that even if the out is recorded, not necessarily by Rizzo but any hitter bunting against the shift, it sets them up for future hits as they may not shift against the hitter the next time...or not shift as extreme.

im not saying you are wrong but is there numbers to back this "bigger picture" up....the shift is relatively new and bunting has been on the outs for a while...is there really a large enough sample size to support this...plus the people tracking this would have to actually notate that the next time this person was up in that exact situation that the shift wasnt as extreme...

also it would be such a rare occurrence and mostly unsuccessful that i think even with a shift on the defense would welcome a bunt try every time

the astros are 31-9 on the road this year averaging 7 runs per game....that is friggin outrageous

I've been watching parts of a few of their games this year, especially since the Phils are usually done before they are.  That team is fun to watch.

Yeah they are. They sucked and got Correa and Springer

Phillies got Mickey Moniak
Title: Re: Rest Of Baseball - 2017
Post by: ice grillin you on July 06, 2017, 03:08:03 PM
springer doesnt count he wasnt even a top ten pick

first overall they got correa...appel and brady aiken....whiffed on two of them

but to your point they got one draft with a transformational player at the top....phillies will have moniak and next years 1 which looks to be as weak or weaker than the top of the moniak draft...puke

whats crazy about houston is in their rebuild/tank they got three number one overalls and a number 2 overall....they make hinkie look like a tank amateur

Post by: ice grillin you on July 06, 2017, 03:19:30 PM
those are just regular baseball moves that any team any time can hit on...in the phillies rebuild they will probably (hopefully) have one or two guys like that

the problem is getting two number one overalls and no transcendent talent at the top in either draft

Post by: Geowhizzer on July 06, 2017, 04:04:24 PM
Yeah, don't forget in the 2008 team they had Werth, who the signed on a flier in 2007 after missing the entire 2006 season with a wrist injury, and Victorino, who they picked up in the Rule 5 draft.  Every good team gets a handful of these savvy/lucky signings.

you have to build from your system first and then you can try to fill in with free agents...and even when you go after free agents you have to have an appealing franchise and then you have to outbid the other big boys in the league for the best free agents

1. their system hasnt done shtein yet
2. they are not a destination for anyone
3. they still have to prove they can outbid the big boys (once they are on an even playing field with them as far as free agent appeal)

again you cant buy a team in baseball so buckle in tight for another three or four years and maybe then they will be competing for a playoff spot

AL Wild Card fights are juicy too. Angels have battled back and it's all muddied up at the top.

Rays...man oh man their offense is ugly

Runs scored their last 10 games

And the Astros are falling back to earth in a huge way. Injuries and lack of additions at the deadline farged them

Unclear what their intent was. But it has the word racism in it so it must be newsworthy, controversial, and teachable somehow. Kinda hoping it was just a Foxwoods stunt hoping to create a viral meme with their logo in it. Nothing like shedding that white guilt by losing several paychecks to the red man.

twins nearly made the playoffs the year before that, though. 2016 they started out something absurd like 1-25 and obviously couldnt recover.

whats amazing for this season is they traded kintzler and pretty much gave up at the deadline. then they played their best baseball, largely without miguel sano.

Took two customers to the game last night. It was a fun tense playoff atmosphere as far as the game went.

Was a little surprised at the amount of empty seats in the upper deck. It filled in a bit as the game went on but still. And wasn't as loud as you'd expect for a game like that. It did get amped when the play at the plate happened though.

I don't see how getting a ring at any stage of ones career would be an embarrassment. He's definitely a shell of his former self but good ball clubs keep experienced veterans like him around for a reason.

There are certain players who have left Philly who I cheered for to get another ring, he certainly falls into that category. I understand why you're not a fan because he was loved and overrated by fans in your eyes...mostly because he's a white salt of the Earth type...again in the eyes of Phil's fans. but take all that away and he was a great player for the Phillies and they don't win the WS without him.

FYI I hate the frighten Dodgers

baseball history is irrelevant....the only comparison is game sevens in the stubhub ticket era and in that case every game 7 from here on out will be "one of" the most expensive tickets in "baseball history"....the lowest game 7 is for a long time still going to be one of the most expensive

Playing the RL is dangerous on the home team because there's a shot you only get 8 innings of ABs from them. But I have done it. This series with all the back and forth and no lock down BPs I wouldn't get on any RL's.

i feel ya but the game is more or less a toss up and here you get an astros win and a 1 run dodgers win covered. paying the -140 vig isnt appealing.

i may just go with the under 7.5 and bank on another low scoring game.

QuoteWhat a lousy start. Hope LA fights back and makes it close

It's early, but they blew a golden opportunity in the 1st.  McCullers is wild tonight so LA needs to get after him early because I don't think he's going to be around much longer.

Most notable among the players the Braves will lose is Kevin Maitan, an infielder from Venezuela who signed for $4.25 million in 2016.

Other "high-value" players the Braves will lose include Juan Contreras, Yefri del Rosario, Abrahan Gutierrez, Juan Carlos Negret, Yenci Peña, Yunior Severino, Livan Soto and Guillermo Zuniga.

Three more international signees -- Brandol Mezquita, Angel Rojas and Antonio Sucre -- were declared free agents. The team's contract with prospect Ji-Hwan Bae, which was not yet final, was disapproved. Finally, the Braves were banned from signing prospect Robert Puason in the 2019-20 signing period.

...

Therefore, the Braves will be prohibited from signing any international player for more than $10,000 during the 2019-20 signing period. Also, the team's international signing bonus pool for the 2020-21 signing period will be reduced by 50 percent.

The Braves already cannot give an international signing bonus of more than $300,000 for 2017-18 and 2018-19 as penalties for exceeding their signing bonus pools under baseball's previous labor contract.

And there is still more discipline to be handed down.

Manfred said he intends "to discipline other Braves international baseball operations employees who participated in the misconduct."

And as usual MLB will bend over and allow the Yankees to do whatever the farg they want.   Oh and no insider business being conducted by Jeter and the team he played for for two decades.

Those are some pretty hot takes, Rome. A couple questions though:

- What's likely to be a bigger amount? The 12% income tax hit moving to NYC, or the increased endorsements playing in the media capital of the world, for the most world famous team in baseball, versus a backwater Florida team no one gives a shtein about?

- What other teams that Stanton was willing to play for were lining up to eat that deadly contract?

Stanton had a no trade clause, meaning that the primary person who decided the destination team was Giancarlo Stanton himself.

He refused to waive his NTC for the Cardinals, but StL claims they had s deal in place for the trade.  Don't know how much salary they were willing to take on.

The trade is suspect though because it makes absolutely no sense on paper. The Marlins got a solid player in the deal but the prospects are a crap shoot.  They'd need to hit to hit on 2 or 3 of and have them be contributing factors in a WS title or 2 in order for this trade to be considered fair or balanced 10 years from now.

The trade is suspect though because it makes absolutely no sense on paper.

It's a pure salary dump, not a baseball move. You don't trade the MVP of the league and get better. They are lowering payroll. I think the team had negative cash flow the last few years under Loria. If you can't even make money with the MVP on the team, might as well go cheap.

Negative cash flow?   Haaaaa!   They literally stole money for a couple of decades.   They were the MLB equivalent of a welfare queen.

Loria made loads of money on appreciation of the franchise (which is only realized at sale), and all publicly funded stadiums are scams perpetrated on the taxpayer, but Forbes estimates the team had negative operating income three of the last five seasons. Net income was likely lower than that. No matter how much money was printed in the past (largely from previous fire sales like this one), writing personal checks to cover expenses is not something that the kind of people who own teams like to sustain for very long. I don't think Derek Jeter was too interested in doing that, either.

of course romey is still getting his panties in a knot about the yankees like this is the late 90s

stanton wanted to play for LA or NY and LA simply didnt have enough money to take him on. so it was really always about the yankees. they got the cash and like i mentioned, them taking on this deal and not being able to affod machado is great for your fightins.

i know people like owning teams for the sake of owning them but i dont know how the marlins can be successful financially. i mean if they have a 50 mil payroll i guess but really no matter what they do they will never sell tickets. their tv deal is always going to be bad because nobody will watch. with that payroll they will never achieve consistent success.

maybe jeter is trying to leverage this into another team down the line. or maybe hes derek jeter and just bored with banging models.

Once you factor in revenue sharing, they are a profitable team at the payroll they are shooting for. They can always catch lightning in a bottle for a couple of years with cheap young guys, but it does seem impossible for them to be successful long term both financially and on the field. Has to be one or the other.

They have kind of oscillated back and forth between the two for their whole history, which is maybe not a terrible idea, since it results in both making money and occasionally winning. But having success only to see it rapidly sold off is a harsh fan experience, which has caused long term damage to the viability of the team.

Ultimately they need more interest in the team, beyond just Marlins Man. Having a celebrity who is associated with winning baseball be the face of the team isn't the worst idea in the world. Still seems unlikely to turn the franchise around.

derek jeter isnt selling 1 extra ticket and the fact that they traded their best player for literally nothing is going to kill them further.

a good portion of their available fan base hates them and the others are northeast transplants already committed to the yanks, sox, phils, mets, etc. they arent going to move but they really should.

I agree with you guys. The fact that Loria was able to scam Miami out of the stadium was criminal.

Captain Jetes isn't going to resurrect them. He's already pissing fans and alums off with petty moves and now they're going to send Stanton, Gordon, Yelich and Ozuna packing.

Manny moving to SS, which is the position he wants to play for the Orioles and for his next team. Hopefully he sucks at fielding there. Otherwise you can expect a guarantee of playing SS to be necessary part of any 2018 MM signing.

yeah no...its the opposite

the orioles are trying to throw him a bone by playing him at ss hoping it will somehow help a little in signing with them

Just replace the designated hitter with the schoolyard version of the designated hitter. Just one guy swinging all game, let everyone else do all that pesky running the based and playing the field.
