    I know the pain as an Angels fan regarding Adenhart. My condolences to Royals fans. No team should have to deal with such tragedy. RIP

    I'm curious to see if other owners/GM's think Manfred was light on the punishment to Cardinals. 1 second round pick, 1 competitive balance pick at the end of the second and 2 million going from Cards to Astros. Olney or someone else on ESPN already mentioned this morning prior to the sanctions coming out that losing that competitive balance pick shouldn't really count as it was an extra thing given to Cards. I would agree. They should have had to fork over their first round pick for 2018 and their international spending pool to the Astros as well.

    I agree: Cardinals should've lost ther first round pick for 2018. Do you think, if they didn't sign Fowler, and still had that pick this year, MLB would have given that pick to the Astros?

    I think Manfred had to take 2 picks away so yes. This was like Goodell and Kraft back in spygate. Manfred and Cards owner are good friends like Kraft and Goodell were prior to deflategate. Manfred didn't want to make the same mistake as Goodell did and piss the other owners for coming off light in the punishment. I think he still did. They could have left that competitive balance pick alone and did 2018 first instead. Or taken away the international spending pool for 2017.

    I loved seeing this morning other teams are just as pissed at Astros as Cards. They got rewarded for being morons and having lack security. I do kind of have to agree with them on that one.

    Ha, absolutely zero chance that the organization didn't know about this and it was the one rogue dude. MLB got the outcome they wanted going in, just like the Mitchell Report.

    Dumbass ass GM shipped off every decent prospect they had. Their topped rated guy is seen as maybe a back end rotation piece. They are a great example on how you fuck up a team.

  • They should make Matheny wear a dress all season.

    MLB just passed a rule stating that you can not "haze" other team mates and dress them up and such.

    I used to watch the Burlington Bees and the reliever was carrying a Dora Explorer backpack one day. I asked "why" Their reply was because he blew a save and he has to carry it until he redeems himself, lol.

    MLB is considering starting extra innings with a runner on 2nd base

    That is absolute nonsense!! They're not just considering it, they're going to experiment with it in rookie ball this season. I'm cool with eliminating the 4-pitch IBB though.
  • Draft picks are not really that important in baseball. The cards got off way to easy.

    If it goes to extras, settle it by playing 3 on 3 wiffle ball.

    That potential rule sounds like something the NHL would institute.

    HA. So Jared Kushner's father, a convicted felon, may be part of the group purchasing the Marlins. You can't make this stuff up...
