Around Baseball 2021

[G-Snarls]

The Yankees are the walking dead right now. I haven't seen a more lifeless team in the majors this year. The Orioles, Rangers, Royals, DBacks all suck, but at least they look like they're trying. They're just really bad.

 

On a side note, the Twins seem like an actually decent-to-good lineup. Hopefully our pitching shows up in those games, because we can easily be burned by their hitters. Don't think those games are as easy cakewalks at it may seem by their record.

 

It's hilarious how falsely good they looked for a week and half after trading for Gallo and Rizzo and now they're a pile of dogshit again

 

They've also moved Gleyber Torres back to 2B now. Only about a year too late.....

I hope the Padres make it to the Wild Card game. Whether you agree with how they were built or not, they bring star power (Tatis is more fun to watch than anyone on the Reds or Cardinals) and there is a rivalry with the Dodgers that could make for a more fun do or die game. However, with the amount of games they have left against the Giants, and the fact that the Giants never lose games, it will be tough. I've always liked the Cardinals fanbase, so if it not the Padres, then put the Cards in there.

They're currently getting one-hit through 5 by a parade of fringe MLB arms in a must-win game. It's very sad to watch.

I love Cardinals fans

 

Dad and I went to two WS series games there the year they traded Colby Rasmus to the Jays for bullpen help. Had some great conversations with people sitting around us during those 4 hour games.

If by sad you mean "sadistically pleasing" then yes

[Laika]

Did you not watch his last game, against Toronto, when he walked SEVEN guys!?

 

Gil is not an MLB SP right now.

 

Or maybe he is lol. 8:1 strikeout to walk is nice.

Was just going to post that. That’s actually a workable start in a OBP and K/BB league

[gruber92]

Padres are 25-35 since the beginning of June.

 

That's got to from the end of June, the amount of games don't add up.

[Spanky__99]

I hope the Cards take the last WC spot. Preller is a moron, and the Reds didn't even try to assemble a good team in the offseason. Give me Waino starting a WC game plz.

 

You really are *A True Cardinal*, bro.

[Spanky__99]

Anyone else starting off the fantasy playoffs with a Gil special? f***

 

lol... that sucks, at least he stayed in the game to help your numbers.

[G-Snarls]

Nothing going right for Boone

 

[Spanky__99]

I want the Padres in the PS... so much star power, f*** the Central.

[G-Snarls]

FU Aaron Judge

 

Tie game now

[connorp]

lol... that sucks, at least he stayed in the game to help your numbers.

 

Yeah just ERA bad. I’ll take the 8 K’s and not overly bad whip. I have Manoah and Alcantara going later. Hopefully Manoah gets back on track

[connorp]

FU Aaron Judge

 

Tie game now

 

Damn checked like 1m ago and was 5-2. Was assuming Yankees were losing

[King]

Holy f*** Gio Urshela what was that?

[BTS]

Urshela pinch hits for Wade to lead off the 10th and strikes out on three straight missed bunts. It's like the Yankees don't want to win.

There's no way Boone called the third one, right?

Against... *checks notes*

 

Ralph Garza Jr.

[intentional wok]

The Giants are twisting the knife into the hearts of the Padres right in the 1st inning tonight.

[Spanky__99]

Yeah just ERA bad. I’ll take the 8 K’s and not overly bad whip. I have Manoah and Alcantara going later. Hopefully Manoah gets back on track

 

Well then, lol. That worked out, they both shoved.

[connorp]

Yeah and Yu was his only SP today, so going ok. Just looked and it’s crazy Vlad, Bo, and Semien Top 5 in the league. Teo 15 and likely higher tomorrow. Crazy how good they’ve been

[Spanky__99]

What's up with Darvish? Dude's been horrible again tonight.

[connorp]

Who the heck is Siri?

[Spanky__99]

Who the heck is Siri?

 

Prospect, had a 50 FV at one point.

[Brownie19]

Ryan Braun is retiring.

[Spanky__99]

Ryan Braun is retiring.

 

It was inevitable, pretty good career.

[wilko]

It was inevitable, pretty good career.
