…for $27?
forgot the lemonade… actually with our tickets we got $5 credits so I didn't spend too much… no beers which is the real killer…. I still can't believe not one parent got a beer…but I can believe it… these scouts are hardcore…
Rendon amazing…

The Twins are kicking in $4M so next years salaries will be the same, though I suspect Santiago will out pitch Nolasco. I guess the Angles Brass really like Meyer.
Meyer seems to be that perennial "young talent" that GM's and scouts love, he's been consistently on Baseball America's top 100 prospects list since he was drafted by the Nats…. meanwhile, he's now 26 and still hasn't had a modicum of success at the big league level when given the chance so we'll see how he does in his 3rd organization in 3 years….
Meyer finally started for the Angels last night. Just as described - hard thrower with little control. He was better than his numbers (4.0 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 4K) but he will be frustrating to watch for a while.
But not NEARLY as frustrating to watch as Danny Espinosa. Hoya warned me that he was not my kind of ball player, but my god how did Nats fans stand him for 6 seasons? He's definitely not Scioscia's type either with the lack of contact he makes. Not sure how he's tolerating it and I'm not sure how many more times I can watch him hit.
There, is a Orioles thread. There, is a mlb thread. Is there, a nats thread? A softball thread? A hot guy in a jock strap and big bat thread?

Albert Pujols is the Worst Player in Baseball
Still might get 100 RBI, which would show you just how terrible he has been every where else. He's making $26m this year.

Justin Upton to the Angels only makes sense if he opts out of his deal. If he doesn't, the same year Josh Hamilton is taken off the books at $26.4m per year, they add Upton for $22.4m for the next 4 years…
But hey, if they make the playoffs, it was worth it, right? (No.)

Sure. But not usually with Apple watches.
Not sure who the offivial watch sponsor of mlb cheating is
You know that scene in Rounders when Worm just can't stop dealing from the bottom of the deck, despite winning more than enough money to accomplish their goal? That's how the Red Sox got caught.
"In the series in Boston, the Red Sox were 9-for-24 with runners on second and/or third, but in the teams' first 12 meetings this season, Boston was just 7-for-88 with runners in scoring position."
Stealing signs is not against the rules of baseball, nor the code, though relaying them to the batter via voice will get you or your batter plunked.
But using unapproved electronics in the dugout is against the rules and when you were as effective against one team as the Red Sox were, people are going to start looking for how you're doing it. There are too many cameras in baseball to think you're going to get away with it for long, so your best bet is to do just enough to have a slight advantage, but not so well that people start looking.

If you get a chance to watch today's Angels v A's game, the Angels catcher caught A's 3B Chapman relaying signs from second to the batter and the catcher let the batter know he was in danger. They jawed a little bit.
When Chapman came up to bat a few innings later, he said something to the catcher and the umpire intervened. He kept jawing and was tossed. It's only the 4th inning, so I'm sure there will be more retribution.
The sign stealing problem is real.
