2021 Around MLB: Return of the Dead Ball Era

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I mean, has anyone here never left a job for another job or opportunity which would pay more? I hate this attitude.

Cleveland was never going to pay him half the team's salary budget, and you wouldn't want that as a fan anyways. The amount of animosity it creates is insane, and for what amounts as a team sport, where clubs flourish as much on comradery as talent, it's best that CLE let him go (plus we received some nice talent in return), but to be mad at someone who is capitalizing on their talent? That's unruly.

I think some of the hard feelings toward Lindor aren't about him taking advantage of capitalism. He's not the first player to leave Cleveland for a fuck ton more money than we can pay him. It's about some of the things that have been said or come out since he left.... not working out last season which led to poor conditioning and shitty numbers, taking a nap during the rain delay during extra innings of a fucking game 7 of the World Series. It's the idea that he seemed like a nice, genuine kid (Mr. Smile) but the past 3 months he's been very Kyrie-esque.

Good for him on securing the bag but he's not worth it. His numbers have regressed the last few years and does not have that "clutch" gene. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but with the exception of the 2016 run and the grand slam against the Yanks in 2017 I can't recall too many moments where he came up huge for us.

The only part that bothers me is that he admitted to dogging it last season. The rest - I don't care. I'm not mad at him, he's not worth half that contract anyways. Good for him pimping himself out to a terrible organization :chuckle:

Yarg! I didn't hear of or see that quote. If he did do that, I would feel like a fool for paying him over the next ten years.

Calling us lazy for calling him "Frankie" instead of "Francisco" and not telling us it bothered him until after the fact was pretty lame.

Wait............. didn't we call him that because we thought that's what he liked? Wasn't that his grandma's way of referencing him????! Where are all these stories coming from?

Mets' Francisco Lindor doesn't like 'Frankie' nickname?

Lindor has repeatedly said he's willing to commit his future to the organization but has added that he doesn't want negotiations to run past Opening Day and the start of the regular season.

When Frankie first came up, Andre Knott asked him what he preferred to be called and he told Andre that he didn't care. Straight from A to Z podcast.
 
After one inning of the 2021 season, starting SS for the Reds, Eugenio Suarez has one K and one E

Tikes! Should have signed the divorce papers before that last contract...

That's a wife doing her job and letting her husband know he looks more hobo than hipster. Keeping him in line.

Twins just imploded in the 9th, sucks to suck.

Maybe Alex Colome isn't the most under-the-radar acquisition of the offseason like their fanbase made it seem (the error didn't help).
