Harold's Leg Lift

Baseball is a better game with that shitbag not part of it.

He'll be part of the second wave of firings.

As it should be. He's the one who brought these assbags in and allowedthis behavior to occur. He should be out too.

I still think Crane should be forced to sell the team but he fired Luhnow and Hinch to save his own ass.

This makes me very very happy.

The hell it ain't. Sign me up for that right now.

Way too much Nick Gonzales love.

This is BS. Manfred is a giant pussy.

Doesn't who is throwing the pitch factor in also? Doesn't an established successful pitcher get those calls in the shadow zone more than a rookie or journeyman because he earned that respect? Again you can't tell me if Max Scherzer and Dylan Covey throw a pitch in the shadow zone the only factor in if it's called a ball or a strike is the technique used to catch it.

The thing about pitch framing is it takes the pitcher completely out of the equation. You can't tell me if Clayton Kershaw and Manny Banuelos throw the same exact pitch an inch off the black the catcher is the reason it's called a strike. Clayton Kershaw will get that pitch because he's Clayton freakin Kershaw and Manny Bauelos will not because he's Manny freakin Banuelos. Of course this can't be quantified so it's just ignored and all credit goes to the catcher.

That remorse will be wipped away if the Sox make a couple depp playoff runs with Syndergaard at the top of the rotation.

Don't you have to have success and win before you have long-term success and winning?

Agreed. He's the kind of guy I go all in on. I'm very curious to find out why the Rays dealt him. He very well could have been their next Blake Snell.

Liberatore, Thompson and Gorman. Rockies need pitching.

Matt Liberatore for Nolan Gorman. Ha

Ozuna would be smart to take a 1 yr offer from the Cardinals and try again next year without the QO attached to him. Of course he would have to take a haircut for making a dumb decision.

This thinking is killing baseball. The competitiveness is gone. It's now horseshoes and hand gernades. Coming close (and cashing giant checks) is the new winning. Don't tell me if you won a WS tell me how many times you came in second.

Eh. He's just a hack with a big checkbook.

WAR flags fly forever.

but but but Tim makes errors!!!!! Errors!!!! For the love of god man ERRORS!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure anyone knows what he is. He's a completely different pitcher than he was in college. He was a slightly undersized pitchability righty now he's a power armed swing and miss guy. I say just let him keep doing what he's doing and let it work itself out.

The owners want Crane banned.

Damn that's really good but I would still be very surprised if they went for a HS pitcher. Best case scenario is he goes in the top 10 and a college arm or HS bat is available at 11.

Lose Nate Savino and pickup Nick Bitsko. Even Steven.

I like it. Gives them a different look they haven't had in a while.
