Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted June 12, 2018 Davis' bat looks incredibly slow. Was watching last night and he is so overmatched even with average pitching. That contract is a nice little albatross hanging over their heads for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,546 Posted June 12, 2018 I love over priced baseball contracts. This slug gets payed more money per year than everyone on this board combined so that fans can get ripped off at the stadium Morons keep going, they will keep raising prices. Will it ever stop? https://www.gobankingrates.com/saving-money/entertainment/least-most-expensive-baseball-stadiums-watch-game/ 5. Cost to Attend Globe Life Park: $80.33 Two tickets: $39.33 Two hot dogs: $12 Two beers: $12 Parking: $17 If you go to see the Texas Rangers play in Arlington, you’ll probably notice a lot more going on besides just baseball. The massive stadium is home to a four-story office building, a children’s learning facility and a museum dedicated to America’s favorite pastime. The exterior of the complex boasts a youth baseball park, recreation area and 12-acre lake. The Rangers didn’t make the playoffs last year, and their spot is by no means assured in the future. But with a healthy stable of heavy bats, Texas is poised to be a high-scoring team this year. Citi-Field, New-York-Mets Eric Kilby / Flickr.com 4. Cost to Attend Citi Field: $83.67 Two tickets: $36.67 Two hot dogs: $12.50 Two beers: $11.50 Parking: $23 Historic but crowded and dilapidated, Shea Stadium was the home of the New York Mets from 1964 to 2006. Unlike so many teams that upgraded their digs with added seats, the Mets actually lost 15,000 spectator seats with the arrival of Citi Field, which focuses on something that was painfully absent from Shea — aisle space and leg room. This year, the Mets hope to improve on their fourth-place standing in the National League East. Fenway-Park-Boston-Red-Sox Massachusetts Office of Travel / Flickr.com 3. Cost to Attend Fenway Park: $91 Two tickets: $30 Two hot dogs: $10.50 Two beers: $15.50 Parking: $35 The cost of a hot dog at Fenway Park is 75 percent more expensive than a hot dog at Yankee Stadium. It’s also tied for the league’s most expensive beer, and it charges the most for parking by a mile. But the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox is worth a pilgrimage for die-hard fans, for history if nothing else. The oldest stadium in baseball, Fenway Park — and the notorious Green Monster that looms over left field — was the site of some of the most historic moments in baseball since the stadium was built in 1912. See more American history after the game by walking the Boston Freedom Trail. Last season, the Red Sox had a nice playoff run that was cut short by the eventual World Series champion Houston Astros. 2006, MARINERS, Seattle, safeco field, seattle skyline Henry Alva / Flickr.com 2. Cost to Attend Safeco Field: $92.83 Two tickets: $51.33 Two hot dogs: $9.50 Two beers: $12 Parking: $20 Looking to catch a Seattle Mariners home game? Even the cheap tickets are expensive. When you get there, however, you’ll likely find the atmosphere is worth the cost. Many stadiums have retractable roofs, but not like the partial roof at Safeco Field, which preserves the feel of an open-air stadium even when it’s closed. The greenest park in the league, Safeco Field recycles 70 percent of all game-related waste and consumes just a trickle of water and energy compared to other parks. The Mariners haven’t been to the playoffs since 2001. That’s not just the longest postseason drought in baseball, but in all of America professional sports. New-York-Yankees, Yankee-Stadium Shinya Suzuki / Flickr.com 1. Cost to Attend Yankee Stadium: $95 Two tickets: $42 Two hot dogs: $6 Two beers: $12 Parking: $35 The new Yankee Stadium might be the most expensive stadium in the MLB, but it holds onto much of the mystique, charm and history associated with its predecessor — the legendary “House That Ruth Built.” There are, however, plenty of modern amenities that didn’t exist in the former home of the Bronx Bombers — not the least of which is cupholders in every seat. You’ll pay more to catch the Yankees play at home than you would for any other club, but then again, no other club is the winningest and most storied team in baseball. Spend some more time in the Big Apple exploring the sights — eight of the most popular U.S. tourist attractions are in the city. The Yankees had an impressive playoff run last season, winning the wildcard game and the division in a five-game series before falling to the mighty Houston Astros. I'm done with sports and concerts. If Fenway had room for more luxury seats, they'd easily be the most expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted June 12, 2018 Saw this at MLB.com today about Davis. Orioles: Chris Davis, on pace for a -4.6 fWAR season I'll let ESPN's Dan Syzmborski take this one over. Tweet from @DSzymborski: It's pretty frightening to be on an "on-pace-for" the worst season of all-time by a large margin when you're nearing mid-June. Chris Davis's on-pace-for in fWAR would rank him 81892 out of 81892 player-seasons since 1901. By NEARLY A FULL WIN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
