I doubt "love thy neighbor" was one

I'd send them all to the Mexican league.. never to play MLB again. They can do it to Bauer they can do it to these no talent hacks

Don’t worry, Rob Schneider said he’d cover their fines

The Angels are deep in the infield so he got squeezed but he played well, hope he gets picked up

Dumbrowski striking again.

Dumbrowski striking again.

Should have included him in a trade while his stock was high

 

[MMC]

It’s going to be very interesting to see how the Angels approach this deadline. I really think with our farm and depth being so bad (in large part due to Arte not allowing an Ohtani trade), that Perry should deal BOTH Soriano and Detmers as those two trades would finally turn our farm around and we’re actually starting to develop young arms but I don’t think Arte will allow it.

They couldn’t. He was a can’t-miss prospect. Even though he had TJS and a horrible year in AAA last year.

Tough for Phillies not to have him in the rotation to start the year with losing Suarez and such. Too bad he just didn't trend in the direction of being super ready for the opportunity.

They were ready to insert him before the surgery, too.

The other day they gave him an opener which is the same thing they did with Walker before releasing him.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Brewers are doing well with only 2 good starting pitchers.

Another $10m down the drain

MLB reportedly proposes drastic overhaul to draft, which would exclude high school players and cut rounds from event

Players like Mike Trout, Manny Machado and Clayton Kershaw were drafted straight out of high school.

Interesting.

Wow, that is a huge drop.

Not good for CBA talks!

It actually could be something that might see a removal of the Salary Cap by the owners. Feels like something that the PA might concede on to drop the idea of the Cap.

No clock for the HR derby.

MLB Home Run Derby returning to swing-based system for first time since 2014

The Derby instituted a clock that oversaw timed rounds in 2015.

What do you guys think of the swing-based system?

 

[Dr Pepper]

I like there not being a rush

Who?

Friday baseball on Apple TV is trash and I hope MLB never pulls some shit like that again
