MLB Off-Topic

At some point in the not-too-distant future the TV money bubble is going to pop (for all sports, not just MLB). It's going to be hard for salaries to keep rocketing up when that happens.

If you could sign him to a 15-year contract, you do it.

This makes no sense to me. I can understand why a team might have to offer more than 10 years to win a bidding war, but why would anyone want to do so? Never pay big money for a player's age 35-40 seasons.

Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy took bizarre exception to Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka being visited by Japanese translator Shingo Horie and pitching coach Larry Rothschild in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game. “I don’t think that should be legal,” Remy said. “I really don’t.” “What is it you don’t like about that?” asked Dave O’Brien, Remy’s partner in the booth. “Learn baseball language. You know, learn—it’s pretty simple,” Remy said. “You break it down pretty easy between pitching coach and pitcher after a long period of time.” “I would say that probably, you know, they’re concerned about nuance being lost in some of these conversations,” O’Brien responded, trying to steer the discussion back to more inclusive ground.

This is 'Murica, speak baseball. You'd think after the whole Adam Jones debacle last month that a Red Sox announcer, of all people, would steer clear of expressing incredibly terrible, discriminatory opinions on air.

Well... now he has a reason to be.

So this was ruled a home run because umpires thought it hit the catwalk at the Trop. It didn't. Kiermaier just misplayed it so badly that they thought it did because he's a "gold glove caliber" CF.

And the review got it wrong too!? Wtf. Scrap this system.

You've got to be bleeping me.
