Couldn't watch the game but I seen the scores on my phone. Another one in the books boys!

Doolittle will receive about $14MM guaranteed, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The value of the deal could increase to over $20MM with the 2019 and 2020 options. It also includes bonuses for games finished from 2015 through 2017.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

That sounds okay for what our future closer will earn. The length is worrisome, but team options makes it bearable.

 

[hadowajp]

At its highest rate it's 4 mil per I'm not mad at that

*he needs another pitch to even become close to a closer

 

[GreenNGold89]

Big series with Texas.

When did the rangers start winning?

 

[GreenNGold89]

I also didn't realize they were only a couple games back.

Texas has a bunch of injuries right now, we need to create some distance with them while we can.

Not sure but they ate it today against the White Sox.

We've done well against Darvish in the past, let's hope it continues tomorrow. Would be very happy with a series win against Texas in April.

 

[hadowajp]

A series win is all I'm looking to get can't ask for any more than that

 

[GreenNGold89]

Yeah, 2/3 would be great, especially with Straily and Milone on the mound this series.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

We play them again soon after this series too. Travel to Houston and then to Arlington. Win both series against the Rangers and we're sitting pretty early on.

Anyone ever been to Turner field heading over for a game in July

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Never, I bet it'll be nice. Baseball in the summer in the South? That's all American living right there.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I haven't either.

Really want to get up to Safeco this year.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Safeco is nice

 

[hadowajp]

Safeco is legit I love the ballpark at Arlington as well

Yeah atl in July will be HOT by gotta catch a game before they blow it up and I will be in Florida fishing the week before so why not stop by

He's under team control until he's like 33 or something, we're getting his best years no matter what. But I'd like to see him get a couple more years attached to that number.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Too many left on.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Too many left on.

Donaldson messed up there, was too trigger happy.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Looks out to me.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

WOW Coco.

 

[GreenNGold89]

We claimed Parrino from the Rangers.

I like this guy Abad.

 

[GreenNGold89]

How the hell did that ball stay in the park?

 

[GreenNGold89]

**** this guy Kouz
