SMALL BALLERS GON LOOK MLB 2022 THREAD, Honkballers can't look and Umpires can't see

[CJ_24]

He is a really good GM, that's for sure, and now you can look at the trade and the extension as the combined cost.

I don't know, this is a tough one. The bonus that tips it (to me) is that they managed to get younger around Albies and Acuña.

This is a really dislikeable franchise over the last decade, though. They built up their farm illegally and the former GM is banned from baseball. The Albies and Acuña extensions were criminal and would have been voided by even a moderately competent WBL commissioner. Then they luck into Anthopolous somehow.

I'm split on hyper cutthroat moves like this, because I do think Face of Franchise players deliver above the stat line sometimes when it comes to team chemistry in the backend of contracts. That's super anecdotal, though, Zimmerman being the last example that I really tracked closely.

Edit: Also, Olson is from the Atlanta area and was obviously pretty eager to sign. So that offsets a lot of the Freeman Face of Franchise effect.

I think players see how other franchises treat their players.

Braves get Rosario and McHugh last two days. Happy about those...especially for their prices. Would be great to add another inning-eater, vet starter...but dont know where thats gonna come from.

Freddie news and numbers confirms to me that he wanted to be in LA.

[Mr. Radpants]

he may be gone but he’ll be forgotten.

Weird that he didn’t even get a big deal. Atlanta really has grass is greener enough to give up the prospects huh

"apart of your organization"

they are gonna change the dictionary soon

 

[Skeeter]

Reds starting the preseason already tanking. Rebuilding since 1994

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Having to read Nutopia correct an athlete’s grammar two days in a row has me hoping they’ll update the dictionary

 

[Wolfman21]

Since we almost had to only watch college baseball...and professional baseball is resuming soon...i post my favorite video outlining the differences between college and pro baseball

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Basically all levels of baseball except MLB. Honestly would have loved for CBB to have center stage all spring.

Is the Phanatic the Dutchman or the Rat?

 

[goblue96]

I think the proper answer you are looking for is Fuck You.

 

[CJ_24]

So, I take it he's the rat. Don't run from ur heritage!

 

[goblue96]

I take that as Fuck You

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I had better Phillies sports history today in a football thread than that dude in the new public square

Bernie is going after the owners. Get the American Oligarchs Bernie!!! Sanction their asses and save baseball

[Mr. Radpants]

WSH??? They can’t keep getting away with this @kella @jdlikewhoa

I’m sick of this garbage. Needs to be DC Nationals, DC United, NBA team THE DISTRICT, and Maryland Commanders, no give backs)

 

[bruin228]

Okay, bloomers

 

[goblue96]

NATIBLOOM

 

[OU11]

GO WSH!

 

[pavel]

BLOOM goes the dynamite. WSH is corny, but I like the colorway

 

[Skeeter]

I kind of like it

 

[OU11]

I love everything but WSH. Get that Warshington script on there with the flower

 

[pavel]

SD gets theirs later this year. I’m sure it will be dumb AF, probably ‘bertos yellow and orange stripes.

This is the pinnacle of SD culture, so hopefully they consult with Kyle:

Nobody calls it Washington except flyover swamp dwellers that whine about CORRUPTION

Exactly, and I'm sick of it. If someone asks me about "Washington" I know I've ventured too far West or South and the conversation is about to get uncomfortable.

BANANA BALL is the best ball.

 

[goblue96]

The Savannah Bananas are interesting concept. March-Early May and August-September: they play BANANA BALL Late May-July: they play traditional college summer league ball

Great way to think outside the box and generate revenue/brand awareness

 

[bruin]

Pollock for Kimbrel straight up.

 

[Wolfman21]

"best rotation in the league" takes a huge hit early....Degrom will shut down for a month after an MRI shows a stress reaction in his scapula. After that, he will be imaged again and they'll decide what to do further.
