So Nike is taking over uniforms .... but only jerseys? Not hats well?

Hats are New Era. Jerseys were Majestic. They only replaced the jerseys (Majestic).

Eh, let him have his talk, I say. He will probably even own us since the pitcher usually has the advantage.

However, we better be willing to plunk Lindor if he goes after any of our batters.

The gold Nike maker's mark looks horrible on the rainbow jerseys.

I'm going to be in downtown today so I might swing by and pick up a new jersey.

Why couldn't they just put a blue swoosh - that logo just clashes. The blue swoosh would be fine. Or nothing, maybe on the sleeve.

I think the swoosh looks horrible on any of the jerseys I've seen. Don't know why they couldn't have stuck them on the sleeve.

This is the way I feel. The way Majestic did the uniforms was perfect, here comes Nike to screw it up.

Bwahahahaha. Nike marketing laughs at your idea.

on a different subject...the Mookie Betts trade rumors to the Dodgers or Padres...

the Red Sox would really be turning the knife to trade him (and his $27 MM salary) to a California team.

his state income tax rate would jump 7 to 8% --- which is approximately a $2 MM (take home) pay cut

Pretty sure it's not that cut and dry. Half of the games are played on the road, so the income is earned in those states.

State taxes mean diddly squat to these players.

They DGAF about state taxes.

I just saw another Astros tweet with Paul Wall, and he has a jersey with a blue swoosh. Maybe they'll have some

the Dodgers will play about 20 road games in-state (at SD, SF, Anaheim)

so Mookie would go from 6 games played in the state of California...to over 100 games

Only the retro rainbow jersey's have the gold swoosh. The others are either blue or orange.

That Nike logo ain't free. If you don't buy it there will be a sweatshop in Vietnam that won't meet its quota and some impoverished 9 year old will have to be let go.

Is there a deal anywhere on the old.majestics? I'll never buy that garbage Nike one. I'd love a clearance rack rainbow rig.


Dicks has a lot of it on sale but it's only like 15% off right now

Glad I have all the jerseys I need. Not interested in supporting Nike. But, I'd bet Majestic has a ton to sell.

The Astros "got caught" because MLB vigorously investigated them based on a former players accusation and by reading over 70K emails and interviewing over 60 people. Other teams may have "been caught" if MLB did the same kind of investigation on them when someone accused them of cheating.

Yep, that's exactly why you do a FULL investigation instead of releasing it part way (one team) through.

you know looking back (with the knowledge that the Astros don't have 1st round picks in 2020 & 2021)...

it's very nice that the #1 threat to Houston in the AL West...wasted their 1st round pick in 2018 on a quarterback

Serious question:
How many draft picks can we get for Correa?
W
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Correa is the #1 puzzle for the new GM.

what to do...

(and maybe nothing is the right answer)
