    Yall were talking about grass/green so I assume he ran inside the basepath? Got in the way of a throw from C to 1B?

    Nah, he looks like a future Angels pitcher. He'd fit right in with Hendricks, Anderson, etc.

    I would bet heavily against that. He isn’t a major league pitcher. No one is going to sign a guy with command issues and a fastball that sits 90-91.

    That looked like it hurt and I got kind of teary-eyed.

    But, there's no crying in baseball. These aren't tears. What is that?

    I don't understand why they threw him out there against the top of the lineup. Take the 1 good inning, get the confidence up, and throw Santos or King.

    Natural landing spot, but can Tampa afford his $17M salary next season?

    No one is taking on that salary...they would be getting him for the league minimum

    Reminds me of the time I got...nevermind. I don't think I'm supposed to talk about that. There was a settlement.

    LMAO no team is paying McCullers $17M next season much less the Rays. If we decided to cut ties, he will go unclaimed and we will be on the hook for the $17M. He'll then be able to sign with whomever for the league minimum - I don't even think the Rays would be interested in that.
