Around Baseball 2021

Double header tomorrow... this puts Trea in protocol for 10 or 14 days?

 

 

How do the Nationals keep f***ing up so badly? Are their players just f***ing stupid?

Beats me, but I know Trea is fully vaccinated. Golfer Jon Rahm has been *Double Vaccinated* and was tested positive again, squashing his Olympic dreams. IDK.

Ugh. Eduardo Escobar going to Brewers. Biggio sucks so much donkey balls as a 3b.

 

They’re getting a 27yo rookie in return

Joey Votto 4 home runs in 2 games

Joey Votto 4 home runs in 2 games

 

I wonder if he could become the next Nelly Cruz. Crush into his early 40's.

[Olerud363]

Might go off like Willy Adames after a change in scenery. Kelenic I see is still struggling hard to adjust to the majors, in his second stint. No knock on him. The majors is frigging hard. It just makes what phenoms like Soto, Acuna, and Tatis did so special. Even Vlad took a couple of tries.

 

Vlad didn't look lost at the plate, more that his obesity was so high and launch angle was so low his elite exit velo would only lead to 50 double plays and 120 mph singles off the wall.

 

Kelenic is (so far) lost at the plate.

[Spanky__99]

Joey Votto 4 home runs in 2 games

 

7 in 5 games.

[BTS]

Votto up to a 142 wRC+ and 2 fWAR. Shame he missed a month or whatever. He’d be in the process of another 30 HR 100 RBI season, and HoF voters would like that.

[BTS]

Another Dinger for Votto

[Jimcanuck]

Best game so far for Patino

 

6IP, 3H, 2BB, 8K, 0ER

Yanks getting slaughtered going for a sweep with their ace on the mound the day after getting Gallo is pretty nice.

Just checked the score... jesus christ lol

Royals about to win 8 of their last 9 just in time to face the Jays in Toronto...

[TwistedLogic]

[G-Snarls]

Sucks

 

My dream of them getting Francona to manage is looking less and less likely

 

He may have to retire soon

[TwistedLogic]

Get f***ed, bum.

 

[Deadpool]

Get f***ed, bum.

 

 

Oh good, now we're going to have a bunch of people here suggesting that we sign him.

[BCZ]

Tellez since joining the Brewers: 216 wRC+ ... ahahaha... *cries*

@EastCoaster

 

Also, I'm not bothered by this at all, I want him to do well, I like him a lot, but there wasn't really going to be any playing time for him w/ Vladdy cementing himself at 1B for the foreseeable future.

[Jimcanuck]

Seager in the LAD lineup tonight

The Dodgers lineup is going to be insane when Trea Turner gets in for McKinney. Except for Bellinger being maybe the worst hitter in baseball.

Talk about upside for the worst hitter in your lineup though...

even taking into account bellinger and bauer situations, this is far and away the best team in baseball

[Abomination]

I'd love for us to claim DJ Peters who was just DFA'd. There just isn't the room for him right now.

[DigitalRock]

Tellez since joining the Brewers: 216 wRC+ ... ahahaha... *cries*

 

LOL, sample size...maybe watch other sports.

[G-Snarls]

Jacob deGrom has "worsening forearm inflammation"

 

Won't throw for the next two weeks

Ooff. He was having such a historic season. That's a big shame.

[BTS]

Votto just homered for the 7th straight game. 9 homers over that stretch.

Best plate discipline since Bonds? Anyone better I'm not remembering? I've always wished Jays would somehow acquire him.
