He found someone willing to give him a pay raise and 2 years after how last year finished. I would have taken that deal too.Deluxe said:
Wow Miley gets 2/$15 mil from the Reds
Quote:
In an effort to reduce the number of pitching changes and, in turn, cut down the average time per game, MLB will institute a rule change beginning in 2020 that requires pitchers to either face a minimum of three batters in an appearance or pitch to the end of a half-inning, with exceptions for injuries and illnesses.
also perfect for Trout-Rendon-Upton-PujolsFarmer1906 said:
Im aware.
He's perfect to face DJ, Torres, Judge, & Stanton.
second half Miley in that ballpark = total disasterDeluxe said:

Tony LaRussa, Dave Duncan, and Rick Honeycutt are somewhere...and not happy.EastCoastAgNc said:
I think it's a three batter minimum or the the end of the inning. I could be wrong...

wonder if the screwball will make a comeback.
that's a good pitch for a lefty to throw to a right-handed batter

Now they'll just overmanage the lineup and PHs.Frok said:third coast.. said:i think this is going to REALLY REALLY change a lot of games, and i dont see it talked about much on here.YNWA_AG said:

This will probably help all the managers who tend to over-manage at the end of games

As is the case with baseball, you don't often get to control where your life will take you. In our case, baseball brought us to Houston and the Astros two years ago and we will forever be grateful for our time there. We were welcomed from day one and made to feel a part of the community - like it was where we were meant to live and grow. And, man, did we grow. To be a part of an incredible team, those record-breaking moments, and two inspiring playoff runs with some of the most supportive fans in baseball all of these moments have left a mark that will forever remain in our hearts. Our time in Houston was chock-full of wins both on and off the field. We made friends that now feel like family. We experienced the support of unwavering fans that always held hope until the bottom of the 9th (or, in some cases, extra innings). We discovered the wonder of Tex-Mex and fell in love with the city's summer storms. Remembering what it was like to watch G flourish there, with so much encouragement from those around him (both from inside the organization and surrounding it) will always make my heart swell.
We will always remember Houston as a happy home, and we're so grateful to the city, it's team, and it's people for making us one of their own. I know that every time I step foot back in H-Town, it'll bring a big smile to my face, remembering two of the best years of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything.
Except when Cole pitches at MMP and gets lit the **** up.Quote:

Greinke too. I'm kinda pumped to see what Greinke does next year after a spring of synergizing with our pitching brain trust.Farmer1906 said:

I hate New York, but if they game me 1% of Cole's contract, I would move tomorrow.Deluxe said:
Translation: We loved Houston so much that we left to go to their biggest rival because they offered the most money. No hard feelings though!
Who wouldn't? If LAA offered me 1% of 8/$288, I'd move tomorrow. If LAD offered me 1% of 8/$300, I'd move tomorrow. If any city offered me ~$3 million over 8-9 years, I'd move tomorrow.Farmer1906 said:

This is the bottom line. Everyone knew he was leaving and any hope that he was staying in Houston was just the fan we all have inside overshadowing reality. It was the way he left that was disappointing. Go get paid, but don't be a dick mere minutes after the season ends in heartbreaking fashion.iBrad said:
