I’ve thought for a few years now that the Angels would be the likely landing spot for Freddie after this season. I love him, but I don’t want to be paying him for 4-5 years as he declines. If he wants a 2-3 contract, sure, but anything longer, let him go back West.

Nothing will be appealing when it’s replacing Acuna. But no, Waters and Harris are not the answer.

No. We strikeout enough, why bring up another player that will strikeout even more? Role with what we’ve got. When we do bring someone up it’ll probably be Ervin or Almonte anyway.

So the Atlantic League and MLB are going to try out some rule changes. They’re moving the mound back a foot to 61’6” and are instituting a “double hook” rule where when the team pulls it’s starting pitcher they also lose their DH. The second rule sounds counter intuitive.

Anywhere that aired on a FoxSports channel is now a Bally’s channel. So here in Tampa I have to watch my Lightning games on Bally Sport Sun now instead of Fox Sport Sun.

I hate the new score at the bottom of the screen. They use it for NHL and NBA now too. It gets in the way of the view. Miss Fox Sports already.

They didn’t fully comp him to Glaus in the article. They said how when he first came up they thought he was like Glaus, then he dropped off quite a bit. But he has the tools to improve.

Acuna is trending on Twitter with how great his deal, coupled with Albies deal is, compared to the Padres signing Tatis. We’ll be paying the 2 of them less then they’ll pay him.

As of now, no expanded playoffs. That was one of the proposals not agreed to yesterday. 7 inning double headers and runner on second to start extra innings are a go for 2021, but expanded playoffs and NL DH were not agreed to

Also, 7 inning double headers and extra innings starting with runner on second are coming back in 2021.

Past 3 years they’ve had us no better than 3rd and no more than 82-83 wins.

That’s a sad one. Grew up listening to him with Pete, Skip, and Joe. Sad, sad day.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but we fired our bullpen coach, Marty Reed, and replaced him with a younger guy from the Astros organization, Drew French. We also promoted Bobby Magallanes to be our second assistant hitting coach. All other coaches are coming back next season.

Chicago Blackhawks and KC Chiefs should be changed before we would be on the chopping block based on the PC-police rankings.

Actually surprised to see the Fire Frogs not get a spot, considering they played at the new Spring Training hub.
