    Is it bad I’m at a place where I want us to be good enough to force the nats to make a realmuto trade and the phils make a machado trade over us winning?

    Really hope we do not trade from our top 15 for a rental

    ideally they make those trades and we make the playoffs without giving up any top prospects...it is not farfetched

    He has shown it though. He hit 17 homers his rookie year. He's always done a good job with K/BB rate, all he needed to do was piece those pieces together.

    he got the best possible outcome. but again, there's no way anyone could have thought he'd do this. beating his best wRC+ by over 30 points.

    He did something similar for awhile last year. It's not a big enough sample.

    Ohtani put on the DL with a grade 2 sprain of his UCL.....according to google, grade 1 means the ligament is stretched, grade 2 means partial tear, but there are varying degrees of grade 2....

    will be interesting to see how this plays out

    Weren't there rumors about this being an issue in Japan and that's why he sought to come over here this year instead of wait for the massive payday?

    He would have got more money even after TJ surgery than what he settled on with the Angels. By a lot.

    he'll probably get a PRP injection.

    Whoops..nevermind...sounds like he has already had both PRP and stem cell treatments.

    Strasburg out early again - was getting killed of course. Flexing his shoulder.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    This was not unexpected. The story came out the day after the Angels won him and said they were aware of the issue and still happy to have the player.

    ...and with a Grade 4 sprain, you go see Dr. Andrews for a lollipop.

    so we were all thoroughly disappointed in Dansby's season last year, but Scott Kingery is about matching Swanson's stink so far this year. i really thought that kid would hit the ground running
