  1. They didn't have to re-x (?) it. No need to and I think it did them just a hair more harm. I think they just should have let him make the prepared statement and acted like nothing happened.
  2. Last 28 days- 108 OPS+ Last 14 days- 68 OPS+ Last 7 days- 53 OPS+ He's cooled off.
  3. So probably done for the season.
  4. Nice story: https://www.mlb.com/news/bryce-miller-jordan-westburg-homered-off-each-other-in-little-league-game
  5. I suppose it would have been possible a few years ago for them to sell off MASN and keep the team. I don't think it's worth enough as an asset at this point.
  6. Over his 11 year career he's hit more than 15 HR in a season once.
  7. I would bet that Brown is on a one year deal.
  8. I'd say that the Rockies are directly competing against the Orioles. There are 30 MLB teams, they are all directly competing with each other. I'd also say that it's murky enough that Angelos could tie it up for the rest of the season. I think that if they tried to extend the agreement past this season that they'd lose. I don't see how a couple of months would count as unreasonable or oppressive. Brown could be free to find work with anyone that isn't one of the other 29 teams. Thorne has done Hockey for instance. You might be right, but I think the Angelos family could, and would, tie things up in court in a way Brown might not be able to easily deal with.
  9. It looks to me after a 20 second Google search that if Brown signed a Non-compete agreement that it would be enforceable, at least until the end of the season. Can you explain to me why that is incorrect? (and yes we don't know if such an agreement was included in his contact).
  10. I wouldn't trust John to run any investments on my city's dime.
  11. WTH was that shot for? I'm just saying I think John is the type of guy that would make it as hard as possible for someone in Brown's situation to simply walk and get another job in the field, I agree that it will be a net positive in the long term.
  12. I obviously have no idea what type of contract he's signed. But I can easily see some of no compete clause being in there. Is Brown in a situation in which he could try and litigate exactly what a suspension is? If they paid him and just didn't make use of his services is that an unlawful suspension? If I got a mortgage to pay do I want to deal with that? In an ideal world, yea he tells John to stuff it and walks.
  13. Fairly confident that Angelos would hold him to whatever contract he'd signed.
  14. While I think his return is going to be awkward and newsworthy I think that if he didn't return tonight it would be a much bigger deal.
  15. A lot of folks don't have the financial freedom to do that.
  16. But why keep coming back where you are clearly not wanted? Why knowingly violate the rules of the community? Oh and that first part, I did laugh out loud.
  17. But he did. If you take away Mountcastle's 9 RBI game he goes from third on the team in RBI to seventh. He's overperformed in some respects and underperformed in others.
  18. Wow you aren't even bothering to hide the fact you are trying to circumvent a banned account. I think your post above is pretty ample proof and I imagine you'll be gone soon. Tschüss.
  19. Haven't met many Marines have you? In my experience the military doesn't instill a sense of honor. Either you have it before you join or you don't.
