Dodger Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I don’t want Ohtani for half a billion plus. No way that deal works out. Watching the A’s game since it’s the only one on and they are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the A’s game since it’s the only one on and they are terrible. You’re a fan of the second richest team in baseball, don’t let the owners off the hook. Ohtani is easily worth $50 million a year just in merch and endorsement deals. Owners just don’t want to increase the Overton window on what constitutes a reasonable salary and payroll budget, that’s why they hate Cohen 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 You know it has not been a good start to a season when you start to see articles how cashman has no problem accepting a lost season and trading assets for a rebuild. Last I checked, cashman has been rebuilding since 2009. I’ll take Ohtani for $50M. I don’t even care if he sucks for the second half the contract. The first half will be glorious.

Littleronin Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Just when I think umps can't sink any lower they eject a player for clapping that an check swing appeal went his team way.

Guest Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We are in the middle of May. The NL has 6 total teams with records .500 or better. The AL East by itself has 5 teams with records .500 or better 😂 AL West clocking in with 4. The last place team in the AL East is currently tied with the first place team in the AL Central 😂😂😂 I think it’s high last time for MLB to seed based solely on record. You can still keep divisions for scheduling purposes if you want, but even that, I’d prefer each team have one “rival” in each region that they play 4 series against, and then balance schedule against all the other teams so that you get fairly even schedules for all teams given the 162 games played.

Brian Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Bowden: MLB expansion should include geographic realignment — so let's build new divisions THEATHLETIC.COM When MLB expands to 32 teams, it should abandon the AL and NL and embrace a dramatic geographic realignment. Here's how it could look. Bowden did the exercise for the Atlantic if MLB expands to 32. He has Boston, Yanks, Mets, and Phillies in a division due geography and payroll. Something similar in Southern California. Then you have some putrid divisions in the middle of the country. I don’t see how this solves anything. At least in this scenario, Yanks get to be in a good division. I have zero desire to watch shit teams like the A’s on the regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Sweeping the Padres and burying them 7 games back feels good man. Feels even better now they have a higher payroll than us and went on that signing spree. Turns out it’s hard to buy wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 A's reach agreement to develop Las Vegas site for stadium - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The Oakland Athletics have reached agreement to put their new ballpark on part of the site of the current Tropicana property along the Las Vegas Strip. 30,000 seat stadium would be the smallest stadium in MLB. I guess this confirms that ownership won’t bother trying to field a team worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleronin Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Zac Gallen has joined Randy Johnson as a member of the Arizona Birdkillers. The difference between the two, Randy's bird was vaporized.

Definitely the most complete series offensively, and Altuve should be making his season debut this weekend after suffering the broken thumb on an HBP in the WBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
