Around Baseball 2021

Similar to Roark, lol... who said this?

 

I don't recall. But the thought was that Walker was overachieving and Roark had an off year. I guess that wasn't the case.

Welp.. Cole is still a beast

Cole went old school. 129 pitches. Told the manager to get the hell off his mound when he tried to bring in Chapman for the last out against Alvarez. Pretty impressive.

Clearly he must’ve found “the clear” version of the sticky stuff

I didn't think so.

Damn Acuna tore his ACL... poor kid!

[Pinkfloid]

2 solid pitchers for 1 more million. lol

Just brutal

[Spanky__99]

Just brutal

 

Indeed friendo, bad for baseball.

[Spanky__99]

Acuna is indeed gone for the season, torn ACL. Yikes.

 

Really bad for the Braves.

America is a goddamn hellhole.

The video of the incident does not look like a hell hole. Nice people, nice reporters, sunny day, clean city, and an apparent drug related weapons bust. Police are saying it wasn't all star related. Probably drug related activity. Full story isn't out yet, but media will milk it to make it look like, wacko Trump supporters were looking to commit mass murder (even if it was retarded meth dealers, who didn't know there was an all star game, getting caught because of the enhanced security).

Time to restart the Politics thread?

Time to restart the Politics thread?

 

No. The news is all star game adjacent so it can stay but mods won't let this devolve into a discussion of American politics.

Damn Acuna tore his ACL... poor kid!

 

Just brutal. This news really saddens me. He seems like such a fun kid. What does this mean, no more ball in 2021 for sure...but I wonder if he misses some 2022? And just before the ASG??? Just f***ing terrible.

Does losing acuna make the braves sellers? They weren't going anywhere with him, definitely aren't going anywhere without him

I doubt it. They are only four games back of the Mets. A mediocre team wins that division and they have a decent chance still. They can also call up Pache and Drew Waters and try to catch prospect lightning in a bottle.

LGJ or Grichuk maybe??? For Roark?

[gruber92]

Pablo Lopez of the Marlins has just set a MLB record by striking out the first 9 batters of the ball game.

[InvincibleTiger]

Ranger Suarez is good. Sox lose

[bronson44]

Astro's with 6 in the 9th to walk off the Yankee's and avoid the sweep. Beauty.

Off newly anointed closer Chad Green too. Nice.

lol, shades of Chatwood absolutely crumbling like a beta as soon as they trusted him with high leverage.

It's just a science fact that buzzers can only be just above your left tit. Anywhere else and they simply don't work.

This might be the lamest thing I have ever seen. Nobody gives a s*** anymore, Martin. The story is old as f*** and you just brought it up again by showing off your jiggly body.

Pretty sure the Yankees brought it back up first? When Judge hit his HR

It appears he did...at least The Score told me that's what he was doing (although when I watched it, it was rather subtle).

 

Now - when Altuve hit that glorious 3 run walk off bomb to win by 1 run and they ripped off his jersey at home - that was definitely in response to all the whiny Yankee players who called them out (even though they were cheating too).
