Minor league games ftw.

Last year I can go to Pawtuckett.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Yeah but baseball games are expensive as hell outside of flurida.

Seattle games are 100% not expensive.

 

[CosmicQueso]

These two cats are dealing in Houston. Wow.

That was gold glove caliber play by Keuchel

 

[Confrontation]

Klubes picking up right where he left off. Not missing a beat.

 

[jello44]

Pitchers duel so far in Houston.

 

[jbug617]

Red Sox sign Porcello to a 4yr deal.

@GordonEdes: Sox just announced they signed Rick Porcello to a four-year contract extension, through 2019

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Smadrzjaahahaha

The Royals are going undefeated!

That's stupid money.

 

[Confrontation]

Jesus, talk about overpaying a guy.

Breakdown

@alexspeier: Porcello deal takes effect starting in 2016. $500K bonus, salaries of $20M, $20M, $21M, $21M. He's still under contract for $12.5M in '15.

 

[Dominican Power]

Have Tanaka/Samardzjia on my team. fml

 

[Confrontation]

There goes Kluber's perfect game.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

That's absolutely ridiculous money for Porcello. It's going to be interesting to see what aprice gets on the open market.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Ethier is a disaster.

Went to a game once, and Ethier came over to where I was sitting to sign some autographs.

Guy rolls up, Ethier signs for his kid.

"Hey Andre, got a home run in your bat tonight?" the guy asked, very friendly like.

"I don't know. Do I ask you questions about your job when you go to work?" Ethier responded, like a jerk.

Dude's just kinda shocked.

Pretty weak. Small sample size, guy could be a true inspiration. But it sure doesn't seem like it.

so glad I dropped him from my team.

why

 

[Doogdogg]

That's stupid money.

It really isn't. Porcello is 26, so they did the right thing. If they let him hit this winter market, add 20-40M more to that.

Now the Sox need to get Mookie Betts sign. He is too good.

 

[jbug617]

Just thinking of all the SP pitchers going to market next year. The money might get crazy.

Breakdown

Why would you do that?

 

[Sanjuro]

Is this where we act like Porcello's contract is surprising?

He is at the proper age and is progressing steady. Seems about right for a team with pockets.

 

[Confrontation]

Sit the fuck down, Altuve.

 

[Link]

I might as well just accept the fact right now that the Mets will not be able to afford to resign Matt Harvey.

I'm not a baseball guru but no. Just no. I guess if you have deep pockets..

 

[Sanjuro]

It's only four years, Porcello looks like a horse. He is your 2-4 guy now for longer.

 

[jbug617]

Red Sox got:

Buchholz through 2017
Miley through 2018
Porcello through 2019

 

[CygnusXS]

Red Sox got:

That's a lot of years of mediocrity.

 

[Malo]

God damn that's a lot of money.

 

[eznark]

Is this where we pretend money has meaning to the Red Sox?

 

[Sanjuro]

That's a lot of years of mediocrity.

Have you looked around the league lately?

 

[jbug617]

God damn that's a lot of money.

$20m is probably the new $15m.

 

[Tom Penny]

It's only four years, Porcello looks like a horse. He is your 2-4 guy now for longer.

For some reason baseball money still shocks me sometimes. One sub 4 ERA season ever making 20 million seems ludicrous. I will say it's better to overpay short years for sure.

 

[Sanjuro]

Shane Victorino. Great Baseball Signing.

For some reason baseball money still shocks me sometimes. One sub 4 ERA season ever making 20 million seems ludicrous. I will say it's better to overpay short years for sure.

He is only 26 though. If he was Asian, this wouldn't be an issue.

What a dickhead.

 

[Confrontation]

Alright, time to put some runs on the board.

 

[Confrontation]

This offense is fucking pathetic.

 

[Dominican Power]

Pitchers are so fragile.

 

[jello44]

Christ... Just a liiiiiitle further...

 

[Confrontation]

Holy shit, I'm not only one watching this game then?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Matt Cain has forearm tightness.

Too much, but it's not like the Sox give a fuck.

It's only four years, Porcello looks like a horse. He is your 2-4 guy now for longer.

Yeah, but we still don't have a 1 guy.

 

[mightynine]

Late check-in on Braves, but I can handle watching a team that plays like that, regardless of outcome, compared to last year.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Matt Cain has forearm tightness.

Damn it...
Odd year.

 

[mightynine]

Hey Mariners-GAF, I'll be in Seattle later this month and plan to catch a game. Any bad seats in your house?

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah, but we still don't have a 1 guy.

Red Sox haven't had a number one guy since Pedro.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Too much, but it's not like the Sox give a fuck.


Yeah, but we still don't have a 1 guy.

There aren't enough one guys to go around and there are less of them than there used to be.

 

[DarkFlow]

Red Sox haven't had a number one guy since Pedro.

Beckett and Lester were 1 guys for like a season each! I'm not commenting on after that...

 

[Sir Alemeth]

If Cain needs tommy john we're gonna need another starter. I heard the As dropped Zito...

 

[Purple Cheeto]

That's stupid money.

Less than people thought he would get this off season.

 

[Confrontation]

The disrespect Kluber gets from MLB-Gaf is sickening. Dude's must watch TV.
