Dan Uggla has a World Series ring

Don't know yet, I'm a little concerned about modifying it immediately simply because this is their first shot at realistically modeling MLB's financial situation. It seems like there might be some talent imbalance issues in the lower leagues if we make finances identical that would have a severe negative impact on teams like New York.
Okay, but what are the arguments against it.
Seriously that's probably for the best. No one will really know the right ways to modify financials in 16 at first anyway.
Yup. We're on 2030 of a league we started in 2006 and every so often we still have to tweak financials/rules depending on how things have changed year to year.

He threw 120 pitches that day, 4 days removed from throwing 114 pitches.
Terry is a joke.

You'd think they'd do a more thorough examination when it was just "tendonitis."

I posted that on the last page, made me want to puke.
Our medical staff is a joke and our manager is incompetent. Not the best recipe for success.
Cuddyer so good.

Off your boy Tui too. He's looking more like Cmart with every pitch. Un-Effectively Wild.

What the hell?
I don't... how can you pitch like that? How can you jump in the air and pitch? That's NUTS.
Edit: Speaking about Walden pitching for the Cards right now.

Yeah, I just saw that. Geez. Hopefully nothing major to happen next lol
Someone else does the same thing, I forget which game/team it was but maybe someone else can chime in. It was even more pronounced though and there was like a re-planting after the leap going on. I want to say it was a Cleveland guy but that could be off.
Are you just discovering this? I'm not judging, just shocked because I thought Waldo's schtick was common knowledge.
I also believe it's technically an illegal throwing motion but, eh.

I knew it was weird but I haven't really spent much time looking into it. It's just so weird in motion. And I can't even imagine pitching without being planted the whole time.

Brady Aiken was pulled during the first inning of his start fro the IMG Academies with tightness in his throwing arm.

Yeah it's Wada's spot to lose for the #5 slot at this point.
Wood sucks. With Turner out it can't just go to him.

Wheeler has had some pain in his elbow since hs. This was gonna happen eventually, Terry just accelerated the clock.

There's the inevitability of a pitchers elbow giving out (they all have it happen, mine hurts when I wake up some mornings just trying to lift a spoon) and there's the willful and blatant mis-management of our young pitchers in this organization.
Zach Wheeler does not need to have 105 pitches in his first start in fucking april. Zach Wheeler does not need to have 115 pitches in a meaningless start in May. Zach Wheeler absolutely does not need 120 pitches in August when we're already out of the playoff picture and he's complaining about shoulder soreness and elbow issues.
Terry might not be directly responsible, but his idiocy is certainly accelerating the timetable on a lot of these problems. I'm only now thankful that deGrom has the bionic arm already.
I'd just shut him down for the spring.
Honestly I'v no idea why starting pitchers even get more than an inning or two of work until a week before the season. I get needing to get warm but the games are meaningless, save their arms.

If I'm Wheeler, why do I want my surgery done by the team doc?

It's gotta be either Andrews or Altchek doing it. They are the only two that do it. I'm sure one is being contracted out as the "team doctor" but those are the go-to guys.
If we're not using one of them I give up on life.

A line drive hit Kershaw in the face today against the Athletics. He stayed in the game.
That's my MVP.

Incoming "out day-to-day due to possible concussion" within the next day!
My jinxing worked with Ryu, so why not give it a try?

Lost part of a tooth, what a beast
That is one of the pussiest line drives I've ever seen to hit a pitcher in the face.
Catch that shit Kershaw!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Because if there's nothing really wrong with him, taking him out would result in about 1093750918390528905 news stories about how the Dodgers are doomed and need to trade for Cole Hamels straight away.

Dodgers were still the heavy favorite at the start of last season even with Kershaw being out at the time. Doom and gloom articles didn't start until they were back by double digits when SF had that ridiculous start.
He seems to be making a lot of contact in Spring Training this year, maybe he can be one again for the Nats.
Apparently both his brain and his eyes were fucked up. There's a chance. Better win now when you still got all of your pitchers.

Uggla's spring with the Nationals:
.292/.452/.500. 3 of his 7 hits have been for extra bases (1 HR, 2 2B), 6 walks and only 3 strikeouts in 28 plate appearances. And a stolen base.
He's looked like 2010 Uggla.

Amazing what one can do when they can actually see the ball.
Let's wait and see what he looks like in regular season play.
