  1. It's fine, stash him in AAA and use if something catastrophic happens
  2. Rodgers's away OPS is .628 Maybe he's due!
  3. I was walking around Disneyland this weekend, seeing all these Dodger hats and shirts, and I'm just thinking, "Fuck these guys."
  4. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6142412/2025/02/17/houston-astros-jose-altuve-position-swap/
  5. We're beating the Dodgers in the World Series this year. I think it's at least 65% likely.
  6. The contrast between Devers and Altuve is obvious. (Altuve's the bad guy, though.)
  7. James Franklin is a scumbag. But for Penn State, he seems.pretty normal. That program is awful. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/us/penn-state-medical-coaches-trainers.html
  8. The analytics on Graveman are: 2021 Astros—didn't win World Series 2022 Astros—win WS without Graveman 2023 Astros—didn't win WS
  9. The Athletic lists Mike Yastrzemski as a possibility to be traded this spring. He would be good: contract is $9.25M, hits left, 110 OPS+, 2.1 WAR, plays good defense. Throws lefty, 2ER in 1 IP last year, so he can turn their switch hitters around in a blowout because fuck them.
  10. x, 1, x, x
  11. My recollection from the past is that state income tax is about 5%; depends on which state you play each game in. But presumably, he is deferring money and will be in a non-income tax state when he collects
  12. That'll be enough to buy, like, 12 eggs.* *caged
  13. Even making the $156 Astros offer present value, he's still going to be behind. That 22/18/12 hypothetical in 4-5-6 would also have to be switched to present value.
  14. He had a 6/$156 (probably upped to $160, whatever) present day offer from the Astros (I don't think any of it was deferred) He took 3/$90 present day from the Red Sox That means that he is behind if he gets 22/18/12 for years 4-5-6
  15. 3/$90 (per Olney) means that at 34, he needs to beat 3/$70 at least. We'll see.
  16. Present day value 3/90M but, you know, bragging rights
  17. Whatever. It's pitchers and catchers, and Whitley, McCullers, and Javier are all going to get big outs in the World Series.
  18. More like -2.5 seasons, amiright
  19. Wonder how much was deferred and what the present value is. Guess we'll find out soon enough
  20. The only hitter left is Altuve...the one who didn't steal signs but gets shit from all of the fucking mongoloid moronic fans of other teams.
  21. So that is 12 WAR in 3 years? Probably not but thanks for 2017 Game 5. My best in person moment as a fan.
  22. Damn, you crushed that like Ben Gamel hitting a hanging slider.
  23. Congratulations to KD. Amazing career and still averaging 27
  24. Makes sense. My inside info is that Altuve went to Dana Brown and said he would move to LF "for Bregman. Or if you sign Luis Guillorme."
