How times change! I remember when Bagwell said the only reason he didn’t want to learn to throw lefthanded was because he’d never be able to be a catcher and now here we are.
So much for that idea.
I didn’t know there were any lefthanded catchers in the big leagues. As the father of a little league left handed catcher, that will be fun to watch.
Haven’t the Red Sox been burned on multiple Japanese FAs?
I don’t remember Daisuke or Nomo flaming out. Who else have they signed?
To be clear, Barnhart bats left handed, but throws right handed. Or am I missing the joke?
Well Nomo wasn’t their signing, but there was some other pitcher who was supposed to be an ace starter and barely held on as a reliever.
No joke. Just dashed hopes and dreams.

Holding up 100% for me. You would have paid JV $43 million for multiple years?
If so, it sure hasn’t deterred them from trying again. Big money for Yoshida:
Looks like we won’t get the opportunity to see it.

I always thought of Scherzer as several years younger than Verlander.
The Dodgers need to stop whining about losing the 2017 World Series. The better team won.

What wimps and cowards. We beat them TWICE in Dodger Stadium. Also, I want to hear someone on the Astros address whether the trash can system was used in the 2017 postseason. If that was admitted, I missed it.

Want to win a World Series?
Try scoring more than 1 run in game 7.

Interesting article about Scherzer and Verlander not liking each other in Detroit.
Funny how the real reason for this posturing is that the Dodgers might owe a sexual abuser about a hundred million and can’t make huge signings til they find out. But oh no, the sign stealer, my pearls…

Are the Astros linked to Rodon at all? I thought the plan might include another pitcher to replace JV.
I hear ya, but gonna be tough in this market. I do worry a little about his health.
Would love to see us work hard to add 1, 2 or 3 years to Framber’s contract.
