and it will be an added bonus if the players' salaries get pro-rated.

apparently that is a murky area in the CBA

This is looking good. We need more fun areas at the park.

A friendly reminder to cancel your MLB At Bat Subscription. Mine was set to renew on April 3rd. Just canceled and saved $20.

Seems like they should automatically pause all memberships.

Yeah, but then they'd stop getting paid

Maybe he strained the lat while straining the groin as well

It was probably not a surgery they were planning on having yet, but with the season unknown I'm sure he said let's go ahead and fix it now.

How long has he been with Kate Upton and how is this the first time he is having to have groin surgery?

I would be destroying Kate on the reg and need groin rehab once a quarter.

What are you doing in the sack that would injure your groin?

This video was taken immediately before the groin injury occurred.

This isn't particularly Astro specific, but the Athletic wrote their own version of code breaker, and an article about how it worked vs simple or complex signs. An unnamed pitching coach gave this quote about using a bunch of sets of signs
Quote:
I think this is stupid," another pitching coach said. "We're going with two sets. If they pick your signs, throw better ****

Depends on how much money you have. I know a plastic surgeon who has a surgical suite in his clinic for their procedures. Could see another Dr. renting it out from him for this type of operation

Trevor Bauer had this to say
Quote:
Their success is going to get written off, 'Oh they cheated,'" Bauer said. "Yes they cheated, that's wrong. In the absence of the cheating, would they still have been good? Absolutely. Would Yordan lvarez still be the hitter he is? Absolutely. But Yordan lvarez didn't just happen to become Yordan lvarez. They trained him through their entire system, and it's a cohesive system. I trust that, yes, I'm going to look stupid sometimes, but this is what the organization wants. In the long haul, this is going to be good. I trust the fact that even if we don't have the signs, I'm going to play the odds, 70 percent fastball in a 2-1 count, I'm going to come out of my shoes. I'll sacrifice the 30 percent to make good on the 70 percent."

Just like Springer did on that 2-2 changeup.

"You have to be OK with doing exactly what he just did looking stupid on a middle-middle pitch because, the majority of the time, with what normally would happen there, you're going to get the right pitch, the pitch you are looking for, and have a better chance at being successful," Bauer said of Springer. "That's not cheating, that's scouting.

Trever Bauer is an idiot. Yordan did what he did in a season everyone agrees was trashcan free.

Dude needs to let this go.

Literally no one but Bauer is talking about this.

Dude is obsessed and has one of the biggest cases of d!k envy ever.

Bauer's point was that the Astros' system trained Alvarez to be a patient, disciplined hitter. I think he was being complimentary, here.

I could see my wife getting a groin injury from our acrobatics...I don't typically get wishboned by her though! Maybe you guys are into pegging or something.

With all the cancellations going on, I'm surprised Vincent Vega hasn't made a recent appearance...
