    Because like our economy it kills the middle class. Baseball is so analytical that teams are paying stars, then filling rosters with minor leaguers to offset that money

    I did not think he was going to take so many at bats. Glad they won the two games anyway but could have lost trying to give him a special sendoff.

    Oh imagine that, they lose their first two games........ that would ONLY leave them with 288 more games to try to make them up!

    I think you meant to say "including postseason". I mean, it is the M's

    Well, one of our young players (22y) went from almost never playing (and sucking on the rare at bats he got) to all of the sudden batting over .300 with 100 RBI and 30 Homers last season (keep in mind they play 20 less games than in the MLB, too), we have another shit ton of young players with ton of potential primed for a breakout year, to go along with the best shortstop and the best pitcher in the league, AND we just signed the last 2 years MVP.

    So yes, I'm pretty fucking hyped

    So your excited about a player who succeeds 3 times out of 10 attempts? .............I'm messing with you FAMS. I can't stand baseball, I can respect the history of it, but you just won't catch me watching it. It is BRUTAL to cover it, trust me.

    To be fair, a good shooter in the NBA only makes around 50% of his shots on average.

    EXACTLY my point. A baseball player does there job right 50% of the time, they wouldn't know what to do. Send him directly to the Hall of Fame.

    Besides, any physical altercations arranged through S2 must be held at Mt. Tabor as that's where the commish SlyPokerSquirrel resides.
