I love that strategy and the opener strategy in general. I can't believe how quickly the opener spread from Tampa this year.

Is Kershaw really expected to leave LA? That seems so weird to me, I thought he was pretty loyal to the Dodgers. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but still. For most of his career they've had as deep of pockets and have been as safe a bet to make the playoffs as anybody. Is he going to go somewhere gross like NY or Boston

Are we sure he's opting out? I could see him doing like Sabathia did when he had a looming opt out and saying hey just add another year onto my contract and I won't opt out.

I'd be shocked. LA will pony up the dough, and not many teams will be in on him. The Yanks will get Machado to replace the injured Didi, and Harper will go to Philly or something. That leaves Boston, but only if Price opts out, which is doubtful.

The Cards are getting Machado I've decided. Not because I really want him but because it would be the classic move if they finally sign a superstar and it's ugly ass dirty ass Manny.

IDK I've just been seeing article headlines on ESPN about him possibly opting out recently but actually looking at one of the articles now it seems maybe those headlines are a bit clickbaity

I don't know either. I could see him going either way. He was great this year but definitely down from his super elite seasons so he may be worried about free agency.

I just now saw the Machado play at first from yesterday. In the article he says, "I was trying to go over him and I hit him", and then I watched the video and he's dragging his foot the entire way. What a loser.

Maybe they need to make sure fans in all these stadiums are far enough away where this cant happen. I feel like when the ball is past the fence, fan interference shouldn't be a thing.
I somehow think if it was the other way around and boston hit it, the call would be different ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's what I said. To me this is a bullshit call. He was literally leaping over the wall to make the catch. I don't even think the fans were necessarily out of line with what they did. It was the natural reaction. Would they have called it an out on the Bartman play if they had replay back then? ... Copied to Clipboard!

The thing that bugs me about the NFL board (well, several of the sports boards) is there is some guy who constantly makes anti-Semitic jokes and tags his anti-Semite buddy to wank over it. They're also pretty racist against black people but that's like half of the board.
His name is cancerstorm or cancerquake or something. Do you former Baseboard guys remember him and was he always a huge racist ... Copied to Clipboard!
