Phillies fluke WS appearance got Dave Dombrowski a contract extension through 2027

 

Aging stars with massive contracts. The guy who follows him will have to deal with a handful.

Cause he probably gets to be there during mostly just the best years that Harper, Realmuto, Wheeler and Castellanos provide

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Nobody really cares if Jays were the better team on paper. Post-season success, whether luck or not, often determines contracts. Is what it is

There is a video of her pitching against the Team Canada women.

 

3.0IP, 5Ks, 3BB, 1ER

 

She is going to possibly die in D1 baseball if they let her play at all. Legit worried about her safety.

The Canadian women had no trouble squaring her up. There was a comebacker right at her knee.

Some solid 80 mph singles to the outfield too.

[Laika]

FB Velo Best: 83mph (Rapsodo/USA Baseball)

 

Bat Exit Velocity: 85mph (USA Baseball, 2021)

 

To be completely fair she throws probably 13 mph harder than 32 year old me

[Terminator]

I bet should could strike Cody Bellinger out

[Laika]

I bet should could strike Cody Bellinger out

 

three straight 81 mph fastballs above his hands, easy work

I'm starting to think you're not a fan of Cody Bellinger?

Wow such a misogynist. Give women a chance!

Cody Bellinger must have snubbed little Terminator from an autograph a few years ago

I have no issues with Women playing in Mens Baseball or any spot for that matter as long as she’s good enough to be there and it isn’t a gimmick. What this tells me is she’s such a standout for her own peers she needs to be challenged. So she better be playing atleast semi regularly not just sitting on the bench. Otherwise she should be playing with the girls.

 

Growing up playing youth Baseball in the Clarington/Durham. We had to travel to some towns in the middle of nowhere. One of them was a town called Blackstock. They had a girl on their team named Mercedes. We all knew her because she was the only girl in the League and she was far and away their best player. So they really gotta stand out or pass.

See when I went to olivia baseball dot com and saw there was a video of her pitching for team USA against team Canada I was expecting to see her blow away most hitters.

 

I was surprised to see most every Canadian woman making contact and hitting line drives or expertly aimed flyballs off her.

[Laika]

Okay it looks like she was in some national "future stars" cash grab in 2021 there are videos on youtube

 

She actually gets 3 whiffs against two boys. Hits the first one but then gets a double play.

 

And there is an AB she has where she works the count and pulls a flyball out with decent contact. It went nowhere but nice launch angle.

 

Cheering for her

I dunno. Maybe in a league full of guys throwing 95+, her throwing 80-83 will make her a change of pace nightmare for timing.

 

Either that, or complete batting practice.

Cody Bellinger must have snubbed little Terminator from an autograph a few years ago

 

Funny you mention autographs, my youngest is 8 now I think but I haven't seen him since before the pandemic. The last I saw the littlest Terminator was actually when I took him to the Jays game and we got a couple of autographs from Vlad Jr.! Sold those babies on Ebay for 100 bucks a pop just a couple of days later.

 

I tried to take Jr. to the game next week but his mom wouldn't let me bc she was mad that HE wandered off for a couple of hours after the game started. But it wasn't my fault, I went to get another round of beers and he was gone. He was fine though he was just chilling with security when I went and checked after the game. But anyway, it was a great day. We got the autographs and the roof was open and the Jays won after a Billy McKinney walk off. Good times.

[wamco]

A lot to unpack there

Your ex sounds like a crazy bitch tho

Out of curiosity did the kid got the money for the autographs or did you profit off the little boys excitement?

She could possibly play D-3 ball, but D-1 with those numbers is just silly.

She's playing D-1 ball, man, lol. Not even close, can she play with these guys. she had a .182 average in the women's world league or something, statcast numbers aren't close to the D-1 men. It's a legit full on gimmick. Sad teams try this, wait until they earn it, if ever.

That’s disappointing. I just assumed she was a stand out female athlete that embarrassed her competition. That’s the only scenario where this makes sense.

 

Weird that a school like Brown which is stingy on Acceptance unless you’re rich would try this.

Well, she's very bright.

Oh no doubt about that. Brown is an Ivy League school and they reject more than 90% of people who apply there. You have to have to have insane credentials to get in.
