Uh, what are you supposed to do with the revenue sharing money aside from spend it?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

The D-Backs are like the Padres of last year except they seem a lot better suited to compete.

Their defense is great and it seems like they have a good window to compete.

Japanese Media is speculating that Maeda prefers to play for the Dodgers.

Yeah, isn't this a good thing?

Giants sign Shark to a 5 year deal.

 

[Doogdogg]

Now that Porcello $80M extension doesn't look awful anymore. Dude is 26 at the time. He'd might gotten $120-140M with a slightly better season.

Giants sign Shark to a 5 year deal.

He'll probably do well in the West and in that ball park, but 5 years for him seems like a lot.

5yrs $90m

Contract details:

Samardzija gets 5 yrs, $90m from Giants.

But 3 of those years will be even years! I'm sure it'll work out!

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Mark Buehrle the only one going to be left for the Cardinals at this point

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Shark was a boss in 2014.

If he pitches like that you have a #2, Giants.

Enjoy.

Doyers end up giving Cueto 6 years then right?

Something about Cueto doesn't fit with the Dodgers front office to me. I could see them going after Maeda or trading for a no. 2. They need depth more than an ace.

Samardzija gets 5 yrs, $90m from Giants.

also has a limited ntc

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Maybe they did the first thing so they could afford to do the 2nd thing?

werd, fuck teams bitching man

Of course he does. He wants to play for a winner.

 

[Future Foundation]

This is pretty much what it's for, right? I'd rather they spend their cash instead of just pocketing it.

 

[Corran Horn]

Guess Im alright with that.

Samardzija welcome to SF.

Of course he does. He wants to play for a winner.

 

[bigosc2k]

The Shark a giant for $90 million, not bad.

 

[Dominican Power]

He wanted no parts of The AL.

 

[rekameohs]

5 years of Shark seems pretty risky, but if anything could help his HR nightmare, it'd be that park, and the Giants deffo need more starting pitching.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Read the post. It's right there.

We're winners!

Five year for SHARK?

Okay that tears it the second it's warm I'm teaching my kid to pitch.

Fuck waiting for kids I"m going to move to the Dominican myself and have a birth certificate falsified. I'm 16 now.

Saw The Show 16 footage, and they still haven't made the numbers and name plates sit at a better position on jerseys. Nameplates are still too high or the numbers too low.

It was pre-alpha footage, but it's never been adjusted in any way.

The actual game itself has always been really janky. Pitching especially, there are only 4 pitches with grips animated for them and the ball magically flies a few feet from their hands before the actual release point.

Always been like that, no idea why it's never been fixed by making the ball an actual physics model in their hands instead of a canned movement.

Oh yes. I haven't forgotten about that. At least they fixed the player height issue from the PS3 versions, where all the players in the field are the exact same height in cutscenes. I forgot whether this was the case with gameplay, though.

Being a uniform guy, the nameplate and number placement on jerseys always bugged me.

The NHL series had a similar issue for a long time until they introduced an actual physics engine. It seemed like a no-brainer to have a physics engine in place for a game based on a contact sport, but they got there eventually.

My daughter's a lefty and pretty well coordinated, but she prefers arts and crafts stuff and dancing to sports.

[zulux21]

im happy the giants signed shark, I will happily take that 18/19th draft pick. Glad a team that had a protected pick didn't sign him

 

[rekameohs]

Back on my high school freshman team, I nearly threw a perfect game because I threw way too slow and no one could hit it. And then the higher levels could and....it was bad

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Deserved.

Cover curse incoming!

 

[brianjones]

hope Faz & Friedman are cooking up the master plan

starting to get antsy

 

[jbug617]

Cubs are in the process in trading for a top closer according to Crasnick. Maybe Chapman?
