I agree with that.

I should be more clear and say that I wish that we (on this forum) would move on.


I don't disagree with you.

Glad we're getting it done now and have him ready to go to start 2021. Hope the fact that he played 2 games this year doesn't effect his service time.
Thought his service time started from last year?


Yea last year counted as his first year of team control but will 2020 count as his second? Wasn't sure if a game threshold had to be met to count as a service year.

one frustrating thing...Montas has not been very good this year.

except in his start vs. the Astros two weeks ago

He isn't getting time credit for this year. He had to be active like a week into the season to get enough time in for credit. Same is true for Urquidy.

What the literal ****. You're going to use two American League teams stadiums for the NL and make those two teams go play out in California. HOW STUPID ARE YOU

I guess that MLB is 100% certain the Rangers won't be in the playoffs, much less the WS. I agree with their assessment.

What an underhanded kick in the junk to the Rangers less than 1/2 way through the season.

So Dodgers, Padres, Braves, Cubs and 4 others coming to Texas...

Yankees (assuming the Blue Jays don't pass them), Rays, Astros, Twins, etc have to go all the way accross the country? As are in luck.

edit: seems like the AL teams get screwed on this

All I can think is that this is a way to make sure no team has a "home field" advantage in the playoffs. All AL teams play in NL stadiums, all NL teams play in AL stadiums, and nobody has to worry about the Rangers playing at home for the World Series.

Disclaimer: I have not watched the video, so if he mentioned that exact thing, mea culpa.

Gap said:

Bielak with 2 of the worst starts you will ever see and back to back.

1 1/3 IP against San Diego
0 2/3 IP against the Angels

Total 2 IP 11 ER
40.50 ERA
6.00 WHIP

Could have been worse for Bielak but thankfully Sneed stranded his runners.

But Bielak has killed the bullpen in 2 consecutive starts.

Who is going to get his start next time around?


If this is accurate then after his spot is skipped maybe Urquidy is back by the next time around after the skip.


I think he comes back here

It's pretty obvious that's what they are doing. And LA/SD in October will be good weather and we and Arlington have roofs to eliminate any bad weather. These were chosen specifically to eliminate home field and to eliminate any outside issues.

Can we open the roof whenever the Dodgers bat and close it back for their opponents?

Why does the NL get perfect conditions in closed roofed stadiums and AL gets screwed?
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

The other issue here is non standard fields. Some teams will get the benefit of a park that is pitcher friendly and some won't. It's not like a basketball court that's the same everywhere.

So fkin dumb. Manfred is SO bad.

I'm assuming the players union had to agree to this.

Why is it stupid? It makes good sense if they want a "bubble" to try to guarantee they get to play

Watching the video Passan is not reporting these locations as happening. He says those may be the sites. Bubble is the news he's reporting

Verlander update... not the greatest of news with only like a month left in the season.

I don't think it's a lock that the Yankees give him a 10-year mega-deal when he reaches free agency in 3 years.

he's been a big disappointment the past 3 seasons, since his big rookie year in 2017.

NYY might spend that money on a shortstop (Lindor) in 2021

Diaz back

Bets until Daz breaks himself again? I give it 3 days after he comes back and plays his first game.

I completely forgot about Peacock and Devo.

And what's the O/U on Diaz games before he goes down again. I'll put it at 10 and take the under.

Dusty really likes to f with the middle of the order a lot. Kinda annoying

And I'm guessing when Diaz comes back it's buh bye Super Jack.

Hard for Diaz to play third from Corpus...

Ok, seriously, I'd take Diaz/Yuli over Yuli/Jones. That's if Diaz is healthy and hitting his .270-ish self.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

The worst outcome is that Verlander hurts himself again and goes under the knife, wiping out '21 also. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

Wacha may be getting near the end.

ERA up to 7.41 and WHIP at 1.76 after being roughed up by the Yankees this afternoon.

however the Mets rallied to win
