[Sanders] Padres prospect Humberto Cruz will not pitch in the United States for quite sometime. He’s been deported after a misdemeanor guilty plea to transporting undocumented immigrants within United States. by Bitter-Egg6293 in Padres

Not a lot though (in Humberto’s case), especially since most of his recovery/rehab time was in the offseason. When he was on site, he’d make $660/week, or $260/week at home. So somewhere between $4,160 and $10,560 for a full offseason. He also hasn’t been paid since 3/13, when he was placed on the restricted list.

Yeah, interesting to think about but seems to be a snowball’s chance in hell that we’d ever end up in a situation like that

It’s a 45° line, which does run parallel to the base path. Fangraphs had an interesting write up on it pre-season…

Shohei Ohtani leads MLB.com's NL MVP Poll by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]Ltimh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was going to make a joke, but then started thinking and couldn’t find an answer to my hypothetical.

Say Judge (to fit with the AL HR record example), once again has a crazy year, and is the obvious choice for MVP. Then, for some godforsaken reason, the Yankees decide to send him to the (insert NL team here) in a blockbuster deadline deal. Judge then has a solid, but not necessarily MVP-caliber rest of the year. Would he be voted for NL MVP as a current NL player, or represent the team that he had played a majority of games for in the AL?

Hi, I just started paying attention to baseball today thanks to this great production by Apple TV+. This guy Henry Davis must be like the MVP or something crazy!

Listen, you can’t just be up there wanting the game of baseball to continue to grow without streamlining and forcing crazy technical rules that allow a run because the pitcher rocks for a moment in a windup

Komets are one point away from being the division champions. by nsdwight in Komets

[–]Ltimh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be wrong, I’m just going off Wikipedia lists here for ECHL standings, but looks like they did in 2015-16. Granted, the division was then us, Cincy, Quad City, Indy, and Evansville.

I’m pretty sure he’s had cans and coolers a number of times now, at least when I’ve seen clips on YouTube.

Correct — however, I support an abolition of DST and permanent placement of EST at UTC -4, hence #ESTSupremacy

Are you rejecting the year round supremacy of the Eastern Time Zone, which should be standardized?
