2014 MLB Thread: No Noodles

[jdlikewhoa]

Shake Shack is now in Miami, is it worth going to? The one across the street from the U seems to be bustling with college girls just anxious for that Freshman 15

No

@osick87 Swanky.

 

[GatorTD]

He was safe.

Braves cut Freddy Garcia, who pitched well down the stretch and in the division series last year. Opening month's rotation will be Julio Teheran, Alex Wood, David Hale, and Gus Schlosser. Ervin Santana will join around week 2 after some extended Spring Training. Mike Minor and Gavin Floyd are projected back at the end of April.

Christ. That's 1/5th of my fantasy pitching staff out to start the year

Better than Five Guys and In n Out. But they're all overrated.

Never too early to post this one:

Or these.

The best player I saw today was Junior Lake, who hit every inning of AA game. Enormous tools (power, speed, arm) but still raw as fuck.

You're out of your mind.

 

[worst2first]

Profar and Soto are out 10-12 weeks, Yu may not be available opening day, and Holland is out for at least half the season. I'm not feeling good about the Rangers at this point.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

They're gonna score 26 runs a game... call up some AA starters.

 

[Plotty]

Saw Braves signed Aaron Harang....scraping the sides of the barrel. If I see a Andy Pettitte signing then we're working the bottom...

Pretty much. Just enough to get through April hopefully, though he should be better than Freddy Garcia. His FB is back up in the 92-93 range from its low of 88 last year, so hopefully he can be an effective #5 for at least part of the season.

Blue Jays-Marlins World Series....DONE DEAL!

Marlins are in 2015

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Marlins are in the rose garden

Fuck the Twins: http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/baseball/twins-poke-fun-controversial-braves-play/nfKy3/

Keep in mind that they also manipulated the a/c fans in the Metrodome to give the Twins an advantage: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/story?id=1585964

 

[Packfan]

All kinds of respect for the Twins now, maybe they will be my AL team.

 

[JSU Zack]

@Renegade Thanks for the history lesson. I wasn't alive to see the '91 Series. Now I understand.

You bet. Fuck 'em.

 

[osick87]

Miggy getting 8 yrs, 224 mil.

 

[Chase]

Trout's gonna get something absurd like 15/450..

 

[bruin]

from the Yanks

 

[osick87]

Money well spent

 

[TrojanMan]

I remember that play. When I was a kid, my 2 favorite players were Griffey and Ron Gant. Yep, Ron Gant.

Ron Gant was great.

For me it was HoJo and Todd Hundley

 

[Renegade]

Ron Gant was great.

For me it was HoJo and Todd Hundley

Ron Gant was a stud in the early 90s, a legit 30/30 guy when 30 HRs wasn't an everyday occurrence. Too bad he broke his leg dirtbiking or whatever it was. He was never the same after that.

 

[osick87]

 

[osick87]

Looks like the Angels got a deal. Mike Trout rumored to be agreeing to 6 years @ 144.5 mil. He will be 29 when he becomes a free agent.

 

[Yankee151]

Kind of crazy that $24mm per is a deal. He gon get paid Miggy Money at 29 too, Good deal for both sides.

 

[ZackMills]

Trout continues to be vastly underpaid.

 

[atlbraves]

Trout continues to be vastly underpaid.

I read that he'll be making around $30m during the FA years that the extension covers, which seems more fair, but still a bargain for the Halos.

 

[GatorTD]

Trout can't even win MVP. He just got overpaid.

 

[atlbraves]

The Trout-Cabrera MVP debate has cranked up my disdain for the Tigers. Have fun paying for Albert Pujols 2, Electric Boogaloo.

 

[goblue96]

Named my fantasy team Miggy's Cash Machine in honor of his bloated contract.

 

[ZackMills]

wake me when people that vote on the MVP matter. Same goes with HOF.

[Rutgers Mike]

How true it is.

John Kruk is really annoying to listen to.

John Kruk is really annoying to listen to.

Not as bad as Mitch Williams.

 

[Bucksin04]

Not sure we'll have a GIF today or this season that tops this one from Opening Day last year but I hope we do.

 

[goblue96]

Not as bad as Mitch Williams.

Or Gary Mathews.

 

[GR8 2 B FL G8R]

Man, Opening Day was so awesome last year...I had the day off and was bruin wasted by 3 PM

 

[greenbayrocks567]

It's nice to have an opening day where I don't expect my team to suck. I have every reason to believe the Pirates will have another good season in 2014.
