vs. ROYALS, 4/23

[Ori-Al]

Easy inning. Getting a lot of ground balls, save for the big fly.

[TheDirtyBird]

Besides that home run this is kinda what I was expecting from Wilson. Kid has good control

[bpilktree]

35 pitches through 3 til an needed more then that in the first.

A merry go round in your ballpark? That's embarrassing. Would be acceptable in the minor leagues.

Winston-Salem had one. Haven't been in a couple of years. Definitely has a county fair feel when you see one of those at a ball park.

Jonathan hitting off speed stuff is good.

Right now most are talking about a potential $400 million contract for Harper and I think that will end up being way light when the time comes. As outsiders, our perception of market seems to be a year or two behind what teams have the wherewithal to spend and are willing to spend. That's why there are so many shocking contracts each offseason. They're shocking to us, but not the teams.

Boras is known for huge first asks and he might open Harper's free agency by saying he wants a 15-year-old contract worth $600 million. It sounds insane now, but in three years it might not be so unrealistic. And remember, that's just a first ask. Boras starts there and negotiates down.

Don't be surprised if he says no!

Tom Boswell was correct in his April 20 Sports column, “Lerners can’t delay on career contract,” that the Lerner family, which owns the Washington Nationals, needs to lock up right fielder Bryce Harper. But how? Will $750 million over 15 years be enough?

Mr. Harper’s agent is Scott Boras. Any offer the Nationals make is likely to be rejected, becoming the starting point for bids by the Yankees and Dodgers and anyone else who wants to get into it. Mr. Boras is not likely to agree to any offer if he thinks there is a higher number out there among the high rollers. The Yankees could offer Mr. Harper a place in the pantheon along with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. The Dodgers also could offer him a place in history plus Hollywood glamour.

Screw it, just give Bryce 20years/1Billion dollars [emoji849]

The second baseman took five seconds to get rid of the ball.

MM, think big, like a big HR.

Escaping a clear double play ball is a great plus of Joey's game.

You're right about that. I'm betting that thing comes down within the next 2 years.

Goodness Manny is so locked in
