    Are you coming down on the Giants for exercising their freedom to not invite a guy they dont like?
    Would you invite a guy to your party if you didnt like him?
    The giants did nothing against freedom of speech.
    They are a bunch of bitches but thats a whole nother story.
    Besides theres a better story on the times about the asterisks own fans turning on them.

    of all people wood envisions this...

    "Somebody will take it into their own hands, and they'll get suspended more games than any of those guys got for the biggest cheating scandal in 100 years. It'll be pretty ironic when that happens, because I'm sure that's how it'll end up playing out." -- Dodgers left-hander Alex Wood -- who started Game 4 of the 2017 World Series against them, on pitchers retaliating against the Astros by throwing at them.​

    I made a post a couple weeks ago about the things that could go wrong for each player in our starting lineup, I thought I would post the best case scenario numbers for each player:

    RF Betts
    - .340/.430/.640, 32 HR's, 1.070 OPS - Going into what is considered to be the prime age for most players, and surrounded by one of the best lineups in the league, he posts numbers similar to his 2018, MVP, season.

    1B Muncy - .265/.380/.580, 36 HR's, .960 OPS - After signing a multi-year contract, Muncy is able to relax and get to work, posting a similar season to his breakout season 2 years ago.

    CF Bellinger
    - .335/.430/.690, 53 HR's, 1.120 OPS - Proving that the start to 2019 was no fluke, Bellinger puts up early 2019 numbers for the whole year.

    3B Turner
    - .320/.415/.530, 24 HR's, .940 OPS - While most players decline in their 30's, Turner has proven consistently steady when healthy. In 2020 if he stays healthy the whole year, there's little reason to believe he doesn't post strong numbers.

    LF Pederson/Pollock
    - .270/.350/.560, 40 HR's, .910 OPS - Playing the platoon perfectly, the Dodgers get the best out of both of these guys. This might be the most likely prediction to be correct on this list.

    SS Seager - .300/.375/.500, 26 HR's, .875 OPS - Fully healthy Seager picks up where he left off before his arm issues, and fulfills the projections of a perennial MVP candidate.

    C Smith
    - .260/.335/.520, 25 HR's, .855 OPS - Will Smith avoids the sophomore slump, and continues the brilliant start to his career.

    2B Lux
    - .300/.365/.570 , 26 HR's, .925 OPS - Gavin Lux shows us all why he was considered "untouchable" by the Dodgers front office, completely tearing the cover off the ball from the low-pressure #8 spot. Showing patience, he will post a strong OBP from walking in front of the pitcher's spot.

    On the < 1% chance that everything hits, the starting 8 would average a .960 OPS. The 1927 Yankees starting 8 averaged a .925 OPS.

    Red Sox, Padres Reportedly Still Negotiating Wil Myers Swap
    February 18th, 2020 at 12:05pm CST • By Jeff Todd
    Spring Training is now upon us. Prior talks failed to result in a deal. And yet the Red Sox are still holding talks with the Padres about a potential deal that would send first baseman/outfielder Wil Myers to Boston, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

    Details are about as firm as you could ever hope to see them in a rumor of a potential swap. As before, the Friars want the Sox to take over about half of Myers’s salary (total guarantee of $61MM) over the next three years. Young talent would go to Boston to sweeten the pot. Players that have been discussed include Cal Quantrill, Luis Campusano, and Gabriel Arias, though it’s not clear which would be included and the Sox wouldn’t be able to obtain all of them just to take on half of what’s owed Myers.

    That leaves out one major component of the as-yet-uncompleted trade talks: what would come back from the Red Sox? The original chatter between these teams involved Mookie Betts, who is no longer in the Boston stable. There’s no real indication just yet as to what current Red Sox might pique the interest of Padres GM A.J. Preller.

    Yet more intriguing? The real goal, per Acee, is to swing a blockbuster for a high-level talent. He notes Nick Senzel of the Reds and Francisco Lindor of the Indians as longstanding targets, but it’s not really clear whether either is realistically available at this point. There aren’t many other conceivable candidates to be acquired who’d meet the description of a “difference-making” performer.

    It’s fair to hold some skepticism here, especially as to the possible second prong of this scenario. Then again, Preller once pulled off a trade for Craig Kimbrel just before the start of a season, so it’s tough to rule out any mid-spring fireworks.

    That's right, LeBron. You're in LA now.

    @KingJames

    Listen I know I don’t play baseball but I am in Sports and I know if someone cheated me out of winning the title and I found out about it I would be F*^king irate! I mean like uncontrollable about what I would/could do! Listen here baseball commissioner listen to your players speaking today about how disgusted, mad, hurt, broken, etc etc about this. Literally the ball is in your court(or should I say field) and you need to fix this for the sake of Sports!

    Well we all have things we sometimes find funny that are hard for others to joke about.

    LOL, putting Bush in charge would only make matters worse. Him and HW had been staples in the stands in recent years. He ain't gonna strip their title, if anything he'd give them more immunity.

    Nothing insane from what I have read, but that part could be getting left out. He realized he fucked up after he was traded and then he made things worse with apologizing, but bringing to light that he was even shittier behind the scenes than some of the rumors had let on.

    He's a painful read but the media obsesses over his every little move so an anti Manfred tweet made me smile.

    Rob Manfred responds to LeBron James, "He should stick to basketball. His Cavaliers have a tough enough time trying to win a championship without worrying about baseball."












    (made that up but wouldn't surprise me given how fucking stupid he is)
