Yeah, I understand that's the way it would probably work. The Twins announcers today and whoever I was listening to yesterday both made it a point to mention that "yeah, Marte is losing a couple million this year, but the rest of his deal is still guarenteed, so there's not enough of a punishment to using PEDs."

But, hypothetically speaking, Marte would love to have his current deal voided, even if it meant arbitration.

Suddenly Mookie has struck out thrice in his last few at bats.

Starling's dealer has disappeared.

Sonofabitch, they finally get Sale a run in the 9th, he's at 102 pitches, and they're going to bring in Kimbrel. 80 ****ing strikes. Let him finish his own ****ing game!

And Morales immediately takes Kimbrel deep! Eat **** Farrell!

To be fair to Farrell, Kimbrel was lights out over the weekend and hasn't pitched in a couple days

Bless your heart. That was ******ed

Of course it's easy to say now. I'm not sure I want the manager to have a guy make 110-120 pitches for a start in mid April. Kimbrel struck out 7 out of 9 batters over the weekend.

Assuming no injuries to Keuchel or McCullers, which is a big assumption, the Astros are going to eat the A.L.'s dick(in a good way).

And Kimbrel K's 5 consecutive batters

Selling our for power it seems

The same bs narrative of saving their arms applies to relievers as well.

I didn't even know that pussy Teheran beaned Harper back in 2013 after Bro hit 2 HRs in a game off him. It makes Bryce owning that **** so much better.

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little *****? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ****ing dead, kiddo.

Prove it.

Paxton trying to extend 21 scoreless innings to start the season. I'm intrigued!

probably late on this but Cubs accusing Thames of being on the gas is super weak

In 3 starts Manea has a opp ba of .138, but an ERA of 5.51. Those seem contradictory.

Yeah it's pretty pathetic, especially after how much they whinged when people suggested Arrieta could be juicing

Lol Dbacks. Sigh

Before the past 2 nights, I was really looking forward to this weekend's series. Not so much now. How do you lose 2 of 3 to the Padres? The ****ing Padres. They're like, a double A team. God damn this team.

i mean the guy does look like a Tekken character but if you pissed the entire Cubs clubhouse you'd probably find someone too. so ****face Lackey should probably shut the **** up and not throw Thames a cement mixer next time

have I mentioned that I despise having to root for a team with John Lackey on it

We outscored the Padres 12-7.
