@nelson__espinal It’s easy to keep your developing players and see how they end up when you can also just buy all the current players while you wait and see on the development lmao
This is why the Dodgers are the best-run franchise in baseball.
Andrew Friedman, rather than trading his prospects, keeps them and figures things out later.
He kept Dalton Rushing even with Will Smith in the fold, and now Rushing is breaking out.
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR *hammer fist not gamer fist
It’d be different if Lopez went and sought out the ball to use it as a weapon but it was just more of a “oh shit!” panic flail lol.
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR The baseball gamer fist does way less damage than an actual good punch. Don’t really get ppl’s focus on that
& Lopez already had the ball in his hand when Soler rushed him. He just started swinging to protect himself.
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR Yes I get that, now that you reminded me it was originally 7.
Honestly that detail clears up a lot of the argument here lol which I’ll take since I remembered the suspension incorrectly.
@BravesBarve@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR Yes he took an offer from the mlb. The reason he took that offer is because he knew he wouldn’t have to miss any starts and didnt want to risk the 7 games suspension being upheld (one missed or delayed start) or the appeal only bringing it down to 6 (one missed/delayed start)
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR It’s just weird MLB decided to give a shorter suspension (and therefore smaller fine) to the guy who started the fight, that’s all I was saying and you got all bent out of shape over it lol
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR I’ll eat that one, I forgot he was originally 7, was thinking it was 5 from get go.
But you saying he didn’t appeal is incorrect. He did appeal, and that’s how it got to 5 he just didn’t wait out the entire process and took an offer early on into it.
@LilPlewy22@JamesDynstyBase@JMikeMLB@tkleinfe That’s fine, but you basically validated James’ point that you are just choosing to ignore information lol.
Not to mention it also shows that you saying they are meaningless is completely incorrect
@BravesBarve@JamesDynstyBase@JMikeMLB@tkleinfe Look, Terry. I understand the numbers and how they work. They’re ok, not the greatest and to honest a lot of them are dictated on different factors and situations in the game of baseball. Not my cup of tea. “Cool”, I guess. Not for me
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR He was already at more than 4, so your point is completely moot due to that and (once again) the fact that appeals can not result in a suspension being increased. He couldn’t go above the 5 games originally levied if he did appeal.
Please think before you type.
@BravesBarve@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR Jesus Christ. I said he would have gotten more than four games because that is what soler got. You actually might be special 😭😭😭 his appeal likely would have landed in the 6-7 games range because of everything I listed. Please please please think before you type😭 this is sad
@BravesBarve@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR He loses a little over 100k more a year than soler but also misses 0 games. I think he would consider that a fair trade off since he was the one instigating the fight, using equipment as a weapon, and I believe the only one who landed any real punches.
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR He was suspended 5 games, not 4. Congrats on showing you’re an idiot again.
Appeals result in a reduced suspension or the original is upheld. Congrats on showing you’re an idiot again.
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR I’m not offended lol. Pointing out you are getting combative for no reason doesn’t mean I’m offended by it. Logic isn’t your strong suit I see.
Yes I know he can eat it lmao, doesn’t ch she that he got a more severe financial punishment than Soler which is just weird
@LilPlewy22@JamesDynstyBase@JMikeMLB@tkleinfe Some people are retards and get completely obsessed with only the radar gun. That’s a failing of the application of the number, not a clue that it’s meaningless.
Same goes for many of the other analytics.
@LilPlewy22@JamesDynstyBase@JMikeMLB@tkleinfe My guy, some of them directly correlate with higher chance of success (which is a result fyi).
Exit velo is similar to pitch speed. Is the radar gun the only thing? Of course not, but it gives us a lens into the potential of a player if they can master the other stuff.
@AnthonyRendone@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR Yes I know he isn’t taxed on forfeited income but it’s still a significant loss on top of taxes, bc not like he’s gonna drop down into a bracket that will make up for the $400k loss.
“I was truly trying to go easy on you” says the guy who got combative for no reason lmao
@TEAmoeBbl@TalkinBaseball_@KellyIsK1ng Overall I agree, if a SP gets suspended should have to lose at least one start but it’s not like he gotta away Scott-free
@BravesBarve@LCPlaysSc@BRWalkoff@JeffFletcherOCR I think the multimillionaire will be okay, but if not start a gofundme for him and I’ll happily donate to keep his family from starving. Didnt realize Atlanta became so sensitive, so much for being a tough guy Terry
