    Didn’t Hurts come out before the season and pretty much say he felt disrespected?

    It wasnt a one time deal.  He said multiple times to supporters you dont have to wory if Obama becomes president.  If McCain toed the Republican line more he may have beaten Bush.  The root of this article is based on ideological differences.  Unless you actually question this man’s integrity and love of country.

    That’s exactly the point. McCain votes for what he geniunely believes is right. You wanted him to vote opposite of what Trump wants more often, because Trump disrespected him? That’s what’s wrong with politics today. You said negative stuff about me, so now i’m going to try and sabotage you. Voting against

    Kinda like restaurant owners who get deals wholesale? Or fill their carts at a local grocery store?  This isn’t waiting outside a hotel for an autograph.  Elliot got paid to show, if the agreement was he only signs his merch then that needs to be known beforehand.

    And based on his part, Harper gets worse, not better in the 2nd half of the season.

    Everyone saving for next year.  Sign a 1-year deal, some team that loses out next year will try to salvage the off-season and give him goodmoney.

    He didnt forget to hit overnight, he’s just not a consistent high level hitter, that’s all. Baseball reference has 1.1 WAR in 2014, 1.5 WAR in 2016, 0.5 WAR so far in 2018.

    Huh? Thomas 94> Harper2015
    Thomas had 38 hr, 101 RBI, .353 BA, .487 OBP, .729 slugging, 1.217 OPS
    Harper had 42 hr, 99 RBI, .330 BA, .460 OBP, .649 slugging, 1.109 OPS

    How inthe world did Harper have a better year? 

    I’m not saying Harper is a bad player, but for you to say he’s worth 10 years-300 mill is ludicrous.  His

    IT’s a garbage stat only because if you play on an inferior team your RBI total will be low and that’d be misleading.  When your team is consistently top 10 in MLB in runs scored and youre not getting 100 RBI what does that mean?

    The data shows after the 7th inning this year he’s hitting about .100 something. THat guys gonna get 300 mill? Name me one guy who has even gotten 200 mill who has a year this bad in his prime? If you’re that good you can have an off year, but nothing this horrid. Stanton is still putting up near identical numbers as

    Nah there’s just no way.  THere were 63 players last who had a 4.0 or above WAR.  That’s worth 30 mill for the season? If he’s getting 300 mill, what’s Trout worth? 500 million.  Hard to call 2015 one of the best season ever, Frank Thomas had multiple seasons better than that just on his own.

    Bill B would be praised for exploiting any comparable NFL rule.

    That’s baseball nowadays. Feared slugged no longer 35-40 bombs, 100 RBI”s. WARS is where it’s at? Wow he’s averaging 4.55?? That’s about where Marwin Gonzales was last year. If you had to rank the Astros player, where would he have come in in terms of importance?

    And everyone agreed the ARod contract was ridiculous, and how much winning did Texas do? Ifyou’re a 300 million paper you have to be a MVP threat every year. HE had 1 year in the top 12. Certainly not sniffing it this year.

    The WAR rating is misleading because of the single year he had 10. If he had similar years to compare to that you’dhave a point, but he hasnt come close. Any in a contract year when the motivation can’t be higher, he’s playing poorly. PLus the WAR ratings is certainly influenced by the horrendous division he plays in.

    6+ years in......2 seasons hitting above .280
    1 season with 30+ hrs
    0 seasons with 100+ RBI on a team that’s consistently top 10 in runs scored.
    Doesn’t play a premium position.
    How is that worth 300+ million?

    Welp, just close your eyes and bomb 3's for game 6. If Harden can get 45, role players need 4-5 threes, maybe you can hang in there and the Warriors will collapse again in the 4th!

    bagley will be better than both, just like Tatum last year.

    Of course, but no problem with a basketball player dancing to Soulja Boy up in this hoe, superman that hoe during a pre-game intro before the crowd....right!

    Ehhh inaccurate to say he hasn’t had much of a hand in the hot start. Yea he was hitting .195 but it’s like every hit is a big hit when they need it.
