Running 2015 MLB Regular-Season Thread

Between AA and AAA he hit .325 with 43 HRs.

Becoming the 3rd Cubbie in 100 years to go 0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts in his debut proves he wasn't ready.

A-Rod with another homer tonight.

He's already making history.

Can Eovaldi work any forking slower?

I lied, it's Adam Warren, and he just gave up Allan Dykstra's first MLB homer, a 3-run shot off the pole.

Forsythe just made it back to back.

Dykstra and Forsythe ... sounds like a law firm.

No relation to Lenny for those scoring at home. And A-rod must have eaten his "gummies" before this one.

No. 43 on the Yanks serves up back to back homers to no-namers.

No. 43 on the Rays gives up moon shot to no-shamer.

Well played, Mauer.

It is gaming the system and the MLBPA can and should challenge the practice in the negotiations for the next CBA, if not sooner. Teams are flat-out lying to cover up their bullshirt, so I can understand the frustration in that area. It isn't right, but given the rules, it is tough to argue with what the Cubs did. It was such a short amount of time for an entire year of control of the player. The MLBPA failed to anticipate this issue, so some of this has to go on the players.

What I do have an issue with is what the Pirates did last year with Polanco, going months into the season so they could also push back the clock on arbitration. All indications pointed to Polanco being ready, but they waited until June 10 to find out. The only reason it didn't cost them a playoff spot was a well-timed hot streak by Travis Snider the final month of the season after Polanco had faltered.

Really? Where's your proof?

Likely the first time A_QB has shown any interest in proof on this board.

But hey, you want to argue that the Cubs really sent Bryant down for more development, be my guest.
