    AJ looks visibly frustrated. There was a close call that went against him yesterday. He thought to challenge, then thought better of it. Then it kinda made him defensive the rest of the AB. He looks like he’s caught in between. Maybe thinking too much. And he’s missing hittable pitches when he gets them. easier said than done, but maybe he needs to clear his mind and just see the ball, hit the ball and take your swinging Ks if it happens.

    Thats crazy. If there’s no interest then Ohtani is not getting $70M per year.

    Every night we either win or move closer to a high draft pick. tonight’s it’s draft pick.

    Too many guys taking strikes down the middle. Flailing at garbage.

    Just tuned in. Are we playing the Bulls?

    While Walters is rich, that doesn't necessarily mean he's liquid for that debt. And even if he is, they generally don't come out of pocket from other ventures to pay off MLB debt (though it seems that's what he's getting in trouble for now). And while I agree with you that Walters definitely could, I'm guessing the LA Dodgers debt will ultimately be handled by the LA Dodgers. I guess this makes sense. So the Dodgers sign Ohtani to a $70MM AAV. They defer the money so the luxury tax hit is much smaller. Then they take the $70 they owe Ohtani, pay him $2M now, then take the other $68M and invest it in ways rich people invest money, which means the gains will outweigh the interest that accrues on the payments. So that when the money is due, they'll have more than enough to not only pay Ohtani, but also pocket some extra cash. Is this the idea?

    Maybe you guys are right and guys like that never run out of money. It just seems logical that eventually when a big portion of your payroll is going to guys that played for your 15 years ago, you won't be able to outspend your competition the way they have. And I understand present value and salaries rising etc., but that's not a small amount of money they owe Shohei Ohtani.

    It helps that they unloaded their underperforming CF on us and signed a giant Japanese whose HRs make MLB stadiums look like Little League fields.

    Not for nothing, around the time he started slumping, I questioned if Benge was untouchable and mentioned how much more confident I was in Ewing. Really, I suck. That’s kinda what’s going on here.
  10. Centerfield
    Why do you feel like the holes are easy to fix? (not saying they're not, just wondering what you see that leads you to conclude that)
  11. Centerfield
    I didn't really think Walters would ever face any real consequences. I mean, the most that happens in shit like this is that the big wealthy guy ends up having to pay a hefty fine, but not hefty enough to offset the illicit gains, or deter anyone else from engaging in the illegal acts. I guess I was wondering what this would mean for the Dodgers, the lockout, etc. I figured that the Dodgers had a day of reckoning coming in the future anyway. All the deferred contracts have to be paid eventually. I just figured eventually the current owners would sell for a big profit to a new group, who comes in and assumes that debt.

    I knew the White Sox were doing better this year, but I was surprised to see they are in first place in the AL Central. 66-60.
  13. Centerfield
    I can't figure out how replay misses that call.

    A good summary here. The Dodgers are Mark Walter's crown jewel. Can he hold on to it amid federal probe? - Los Angeles Times The article concludes that we don't know what effect, if any, this will have on the Dodgers.
  15. Centerfield
    I don’t know what to make of it. I’ve read everything from it’s the end of the Dodgers and Ohtani will opt out, to it’s nothing and everything will stay the same. What do you guys think?
  16. Centerfield
    I know he’s been better of late, but that Tatis contract is pretty bad too. The contract anticipated him being the MVP level player he was before his suspension. Even with this uptick, he’s only at .785 OPS.
  17. Centerfield
    He’s slacking. Game has been over for hours but we don’t have the next IGT up.
  18. Centerfield
    With a multi run lead Kodai needs to feature the fastball until someone proves they can hit it.
  19. Centerfield
    How did Senga look?
  20. Centerfield
    That’s the thing. I haven’t seen the adaptable part. Maybe we’ll see it now.
  21. Centerfield
    The Mets have shut down Jorge Polanco. Surgery next. I don’t see why they wouldn’t call up Mauricio now.
  22. Centerfield
    Yay!!!! KC!!!!
  23. Centerfield
    I think I read that the Mets had the hardest post-All-Star schedule of anyone in baseball. It's astonishing to think how poorly they played earlier this year against some of the worst competition. In April, they were swept at home by the A's and Rockies.
  24. Centerfield
    Big start for Thornton. Has given up 3 runs in 3 of his last 4.

    WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THESE CLOSERS
