Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

Nephew just messaged me that he's going to the game. I'll get plenty of updates. Be nice to see this kid reach his potential. Sox haven't had a superstar in 20 years.

 

Wonder if this guy is available in the NIAFL?

 

Well, Sale.

 

I thought of him, but I don't think he rose to that level. Not talking talent wise, just playing for the Sox makes it difficult to be a recognizable superstar. Frank was the last, IMO. BTW, Moncada looks at strikes on first two pitches then works a nine-pitch walk.

 

This close to throwing my phone down and smashing it. Fuck Yahoo.

 

J.D. Martinez left his first game with the Diamondbacks after being hit by a pitch on the left hand. Initial report is a contusion. The X-rays did not show a break.

 

Yeah, but tow of those balls were strikes.

 

Giants officially declare "ah fuck it we suck anyway"

 

The deal reportedly was $3 million for the rest of the season, and a lifetime pass at the garlic fries stand.

 

So, most expensive contract in MLB history?

 

My favorite Giant of the championship run. I can't watch him without laughing.

No risk, probably no reward, but the Giants have always been partial to fan favorites.

 

Apparently headed to the minors first, so double-check the locks on your pantry, Sacramento RiverCats fans.

And I'd be happy to give him a free pass to the concessions at AT&T ... good only at the fresh veggie stand in center field. Otherwise, this move makes no baseball sense at all. Like selling a few Panda hats still in storage will make up for a lost season.
