So about that whole Royals retaliation storyline...

Josh Vernier ✔ ‎@JoshVernier610
I asked Volquez about retribution for Syndergaard's pitch to Escobar in the World Series. "I'm too old for that," he said. #Royals

Jeffrey Flanagan ✔ ‎@FlannyMLB
From #Royals Alex Gordon: "We’re not even thinking about it.
Our retaliation was winning the World Series. After that, we moved on.”

Jeffrey Flanagan ✔ ‎@FlannyMLB
More from Dillon Gee on retaliation theory: "I’ve been here all spring and I don’t think anyone has even brought up the Mets." #Royals

Jeffrey Flanagan ✔ ‎@FlannyMLB
Former Mets pitcher Dillon Gee: "That's the New York media for you." #Royals

Jeffrey Flanagan ✔ ‎@FlannyMLB
A #Royals official told me the only retribution planned for the Mets on Opening Night is a 30-second tribute video. Those nasty Royals.

Rustin Dodd ‎@rustindodd
Ned Yost on Royals-reliation-gate: "Some buffoon writes something and you guys are gonna jump like little monkeys in a cage for peanut."

I fully expect a beaning at this point. This is all a diversion.
Also, Dillon Gee subtly poking the NYC bear.

Jays fans throwing curses?

Yo... The only voodoo dolls in mlb are embroidered with Jays logos.

Gotta lift the curse before you can cast a curse.

John Schuerholz, a 50-year veteran of baseball front offices, half of it in Atlanta, is stepping aside as president of the Atlanta Braves.

Terry McGuirk, the Braves’ chairman and CEO, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview that Schuerholz, 75, will move into a new position as the team’s vice chairman. The position entails more of an advisory role.

Rather than naming one person to succeed Schuerholz as team president, McGuirk said two Braves executives will be promoted to presidencies: Derek Schiller to president of business and Mike Plant to president of development.

McGuirk said the changes mean Schuerholz is taking a “step back” from day-to-day duties, but will continue to provide “consultation and guidance,” serving as an adviser to Schiller and Plant on business issues and working with Braves president of baseball operations John Hart on player-personnel matters.


The changes come as the Braves prepare for their final season in Turner Field and their 2017 move to a new stadium in Cobb County, SunTrust Park.

Schuerholz has been one of Atlanta’s highest-profile sports executives for a quarter-century. He joined the Braves as general manager in October 1990 and became team president in October 2007.

He is scheduled for induction into the Braves Hall of Fame in August.

With the changes, Plant and Schiller, both of whom previously reported to Schuerholz, will report directly to McGuirk. Hart, who also had reported to Schuerholz, will “dual report” to McGuirk and Schuerholz, McGuirk said.

The Braves plan to announce the moves Thursday. Schuerholz, Plant and Schiller are scheduled to discuss the changes, which will be effective immediately, at a morning news conference.

McGuirk said Schuerholz concurs with the changes.

“He is very much a part of this decision,” McGuirk said. “I intend … to be picking his brain on a continual basis going forward.”

Asked if the changes represent retirement for Schuerholz, McGuirk said: “Heck no.”

"John Farrell says that Travis Shaw is the #RedSox third baseman. Pablo Sandoval to the bench. Met with both players this morning." - @PeteAbe

Between Sandoval and Rusney Castillo the Sox have one hell of an expensive bench.

I did as well haha



THe CE was until it sold out. Main reason why price is so high is because it comes with a limited Noctis play arts figurine

it sold out already, whoa. already got $3M in the bank and the game is 6 months away.

But there was still at least a great FF game in series.

FF is just one of those series where you have fans, haters, and a bunch of people desperately hoping a game could give them the same feeling as when they were a teenager, and getting mad when it doesn't. not to mention all the Hollows who just chime in "why don't you play Souls instead OP......"

And if you guys want to play FF 15, download the platinum demo, which... Yeah

it seemed fun to me, though i only played a bit. i had fun with the last demo too.

A decade plus since the last good game is worrying to say the least. And if you guys want to play FF 15, download the platinum demo, which... Yeah

Bryan Mitchell is going to miss at least 3 months with a fractured toe. He was having an excellent spring and had made the opening day roster.

Andrew Miller plans to pitch through the right wrist injury.

10 year development.

That $3m doesn't even cover the electricity.

No FF game has been good. Unless you played one when you were like 12. Then there might be some nostalgia. But had those games came out when you were 20, nope.

And if you guys want to play FF 15, download the platinum demo, which... Yeah

Demos hurt game sales. Especially bad demos. And that's a bad demo by all accounts.
 
Maybe XV can revive the FF series but we'll see. I feel old reading Cosmo's post. VII & VIII still my favorites. But then again I still play Fighting and Vintage Sports game.

Pablo would make a great short stop

he could play the position like a hockey goalie. just stand there and the balls will crash into him.
