Seeking6 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just came across this. Have always liked the A's from a distance for whatever reason but MLB needs to figure out a plan for some of these teams and moving them. Nashville, Charlotte, Vegas.....shoot I bet the 1 sport state of Nebraska would sell out a stadium in Lincoln or Omaha all year. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/athletics/article/A-s-draw-3-748-to-2nd-home-game-smallest-17092418.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer a salary floor but I doubt the owners would ever accept that. Pirates have a salary cap of $50M. Reds are at $61M but $25M of that is Votto. The Dodgers have that covered with like 2 players. It's April 20th and the season is pretty much over for half of the NL Central....including my Cubs who should be ashamed of their lack of spending.

To me expansion has not helped the game because it keeps diluting the talent. In the NBA when there were 24 teams, most teams had at least a couple of really good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Well it looks like the Reds are going to lose their 9th in a row. Looking at their stats they are 26th and lower on all offensive categories except for HR. They are 21st or lower in every pitching catagory except for K's/9IP Edited April 20, 2022 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Pham after the game... “When I rewatched it on video, I thought Luke could’ve done a better job with avoiding the tag. The way his hands hit him, it was dirty as f---,” Pham said, per Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “I don’t like it at all. The way his hands hit him in the face, it was dirty. If Luke wants to settle it, I get down really well. Anything, Muay Thai, whatever. I’ve got a (gym) owner here who will let me use his facility. So, f--- ’em.” 🙄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front office wants to put together a team to barely make it into the playoffs, and just hopes the team will magically be better.

We are truly spoiled, but we expect a little more from our organization. Main issue is with John Mozeliak and his consistent message every year after failing to go after top level free agents, “We believe in what we have internally.” Cardinals fans do have it good and we are spoiled, we just wish they would open the pocketbook more that is obviously there.

5fouls Posted April 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 So, working from home today and have the Yankees v Tigers game on. As Miguel Cabrerra sits at 2,999 hits, teh announcers provided this interesting tidbit 1st hit - Home Run 1,000th hit - Home Run 2,000th hit - Home Run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted April 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Yankees just intentionally walked Miggy with runners on 2nd and 3rd in what will likely be his last at bat of the game. The Tigers had bases loaded and nobody out when the guy hitting in front of Cabrerra grounds into a 1-2-3 double play, which left 1st open. Right before that I was sitting there thinking to myself, as long as this dude doesn't do something to leave 1st base open, they will have to give him something to hit. Little consolation to people that just had tickets for today's game, but at least Detroit is home over the weekend so he should get the hit in Detroit. That would have really sucked if they were heading out on a road trip after today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why Boone did it. Everyone does but my guess those in attendance today aren't sending Boone any Christmas cards soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
