They can have him back for... *checks* oh wow they don't even have enough to trade

Inciarte for Shelby Miller.

(Actually think Inciarte will be more valuable than Miller this season so they should throw something else in.)

 

[BumRush]

RIP my keeper league

Me too. Fuck.

 

[esmith08734]

Damn, Pollock. That's big news.

 

[zroid]

AJ Pollock needs surgery after fracturing his elbow in a game today.

[chicagocubsfan]

Jeez that sucks for the D-Backs. Seems like they don't have a lot of quality OF depth.

 

[BumRush]

I really need an update on expected time frame. We talking 6-8 weeks? 3 months+?

 

[Silver Arrows]

It feels so good knowing that baseball season is almost back.

Seems up in the air atm. He missed the entire season with a similar injury in 2010 since it damaged his growth plate.

What awful news. Such a great player and worth the price of a ticket to watch. Damn.

Wait. The whole SEASON!?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Wait. The whole SEASON!?

It might have just been precautionary since he was still a spec but yeah. He injured it in late March and didn't play the rest of the season.

The Cleveland Indians have officially demoted their Chief Wahoo logo to secondary status, owner Paul Dolan said Friday.

"We have gone to the Block C as our primary mark," Dolan told the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Friday. "Clearly, we are using it more heavily than we are the Chief Wahoo logo."

The Indians have been phasing back their use of the Chief Wahoo for years. The franchise removed it from the road cap in 2011 and from its home batting helmet in 2013. The logo, however, still has a home on the sleeve of the Indians' jerseys.

Despite its de-emphasis, Dolan said the logo will continue to be part of the Indians' plans moving forward. The home cap with the Chief Wahoo logo was the team's best seller last season, according to the paper.

"(We have) no plans to get rid of Chief Wahoo," Dolan told the Plain Dealer. "it is part of our history and legacy.

"We do have empathy for those who take issue with it. We have minimized the use of it and we'll continue to do what we think is appropriate."

/Chief Wahoo

How about demoting that shit to the plain of non-existence? This feels like a marketing compromise without actually fixing the problem.

"We do have empathy for those who take issue with it. We have minimized the use of it and we'll continue to do what we think is appropriate." We have empathy and understand it offends you, but we'll do what we think is right! Fuck off.

George Brett's wife with that trolling:

“The reaction of the fans was kind of awesome because there were some pretty obnoxious ones that just were riding the players. And it felt like it was good karma for us. Look at the picture. It’s hilarious. All their hands are on their heads and they’re in disbelief. It was pretty funny from our perspective. So I got a kick out of it.”

Oh and legitimately, if I could get Mariners games in 4k on my cable I'd sell my plasma and upgrade in a heartbeat.

Interesting. Wonder if it has anything to do with the Raiders' lease renewal.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Mike Matheny is such a lovable heel. I can't wait for our first series.

 

[BumRush]

Pollock said his goal is to play in 2016. FMFBS (fuck my fantasy baseball season).

 

[GK86]

Good thing I didn't draft him.

No matter how this plays out, I'm so glad to see this rivalry back to relevance. It's gonna be a fun year.

Braves Opening Day roster:

Starting pitchers: Julio Teheran, Bud Norris, Matt Wisler, Williams Perez

Bullpen: Jason Grilli, Arodys Vizcaino, Jim Johnson, Alexi Ogando, Dan Winkler, Jose Ramirez, John Gant, Eric O’Flaherty

Infielders: Freddie Freeman, Jace Peterson, Erick Aybar, Adonis Garcia, Gordon Beckham, Kelly Johnson

Outfielders: Nick Markakis, Ender Inciarte, Hector Olivera, Jeff Francoeur, Drew Stubbs

Catchers: A.J. Pierzynski, Tyler Flowers

The Braves are carrying an extra (eighth) reliever initially because they don’t need a fifth starter until April 12 in the seventh game of the season. At that point, they plan to bring up starter Jhoulys Chacin from Triple-A and subtract a reliever to be determined.

But if you root against the Jays in the playoffs, we're going to have to fight.
