Chapman signs for $25/yr x 6 years. Bregman will be looking to top that.
Thatâs too much years/money for Chapman, and I really like that guy.

The market is the market. The Giants disagree with you. And somebody is probably telling Chapman (and Bregman) that he/they should hold out for more.
Reminds me of the line in a Civil Action: if theyâre willing to pay it, then itâs not enough.

So the last time the Astros beat the Cincinatti Reds was June 19, 2016. Danny Worth was the Astrosâ second baseman that day. Extra points to anyone who remembers him.
The last time they won a game IN Cincinatti was September 9, 2012âŚwhen they were still in the NL. Jimmy Paredes played 2B that day, and Tyler Greene was at SS. Edgar Gonzalez got the win.
Can we please fucking do something today?

Thatâs a big ask, I mean weâre facing the Big Red Machine.
We need to bring back Berkman for a day. He loved that place.

Too bad we canât bring Jimmy Wynn back from the dead. He hit a couple of mammoth homers in Cincinnati. Of course that was three stadiums ago.

Hey can you guys wait until the middle of the game to start discussing this? And put it in the game thread, thanks.

Hello Kitty or getting our ass kicked by the Reds for the last decade? Because if itâs the former, I agree. Thatâs what the GZ is for.
TK and Bagwell have been talking about how much Bags loved to hit in both the old and new Cincy Parks. I say we time machine him back.
He could field 1b better, right now, than anyone we currently have.
