Around Baseball 2023

Atlanta is ridiculous. Even the guys who were struggling hard like Harris have bounced right back to being good. Wild how all these AA trades and extensions continuously work out. They're carrying less payroll than the Jays which is just frustrating. Their backups are even great. D'Arnaud, even Pillar is hitting. I forgot he was even in the league still. They've been doing it without Fried.

 

Albies is probably going to be worth his entire contract from this year alone and Acuna is somehow going to probably be worth 75% of his extension in just this season. Just unconscionable stuff.

 

He's gotten some luck, but I do wish AA had stuck around under Shapiro.

 

Their lineup 1-9 is absurd. Michael Harris II is their #9 hitter and has a career 126 wRC+.

Ohtani will get $500 million minimum. Probably will get more IMO. I don't think you'll ever see this big of a free agent or star player ever available.

Yup, easy.

Waino getting lit up again. The cards have to pull the plug eventually.

Nice, I bet the Marlins run line today. Should have put more money down haha.

Mike Trout suffered a fracture of the hamate bone in his left hand last night, an injury that will keep him out for at least a handful of weeks. Quite the blow for the Angels, to say the least.

Honestly kinda feel bad for Angels fans. Pretty much torpedoes their playoff hopes and they still won’t trade Ohtani at the deadline because they have a decent record.

 

And then next year…

[Terminator]

You guys are soft.

 

I’m glad. Jays odds of backing in to the WC3 just increased.

Marlins are going to be 13 game over 0.500 today. Give Kim Ng the executive of the year trophy.

[jaysblue]

Good thing the Angels have this guy to replace Trout

I've always liked their starting rotation. Their bullpen has been solid as well with Scott (1.2 WAR), Puk (0.8 WAR) and Floro (0.7 WAR). Okert has sick K rates as well.

 

Lineup wise was never a fan but they've been getting an elite season from Luiz Arraez and Soler has hit 22 HR along with a 1.5 WAR so far. Jazz has missed some time due to injury as well I believe. They could use another bat or two.

 

If you said Alcantara was going to have a down season, wouldn't have thought in the world the Marlins would be 13 games over .500 at this point.

Yeah, they're going to need an impact bat or two. And I don't think they're going to get any from their system.

 

If any team could benefit from a mega-deal for a star bat, it's probably them.

That feel when you try to subtly troll Terminator and he likes your post instead of biting.

That crazy broad actually did it. She traded for an entire team’s worth of slap hitting 2B and she’s got a contender on her hands. Amazing.

[Terminator]

Reminds me of when my buddy’s sister joined our fantasy football league because we had a guy dropout last minute. She actually won the league by taking players based on who had the cutest picture. Embarrassing.

[BTS]

I has forgotten that she inexplicably gave Avisail 52M and are still rostering him. They also seem to fully support Jean Segura’s bid to put up the worst fWAR of all time.

Lolll damn I would just quit at that point

[jaysblue]

Ohtani should take his talents to Miami.

 

Marlins should trade for him this month or sign him in the offseason at whatever amount.

Rendon just died again

[BigCecil]

Rendon just died again

 

Worse than Kenny on South Park.

[Spanky__99]

Ohtani left his start with a blister, not sure if he left the game entirely.

Was he ever alive?? He’s been s*** since the 2020 short season

That's it though, he's been littered in injuries since.

[BigCecil]

With Trout and Rendon down LAA need to move Ohtani at the deadline for a haul.

 

Its the right business move for the franchise.

It's the right move. But instead they'll probably try buying some scrubs.

Which if course means he won't do it

You know they won’t

Rendon vs Strasburg which contract was worse

I heard last night. Geez tough week for the Angels. Everything blowing up in a matter of days.
