Around Baseball 2023

Such a shame Miggy is ending his career in the irrelevancy that is Detroit. They should have done right by him and sent him back to the Marlins where he would be in a race. I don’t care how many years he spent with the Tigers. He will always be a Marlin to me.

 

Florida or Miami?

Man did Miggy ever fall off a cliff after 2014 (age 33). Didn't he have a lot of plantar fasciitis issues or something?

[connorp]

Muggy was a degenerative back I thought that started it all. Trout has something like to going on now

Whoever has him in fantasy should sell. I’d probably pay .65 on the dollar

[thatoneguy]

Another passing of a legend. Him and Mike Schmidt are the two best to have ever done it at 3B.

I loved Boston as a city when I was there, even getting to Fenway on the train and walking to the park was fantastic. Once inside, the experience went from A+ to complete dog s***. Fenway is a giant urine stain

 

[Jonn]

Florida or Miami?

 

Same difference. But Flordia Marlin Legend. With those sexy pinstripes and winning a world series as a Rookie.

 

Maybe its more memorable for me because it was my first experience winning a gambling bet lol

Alcoholism.

He hasn’t been good for a long time. He definitely had a lot of foot issues that zapped him ability to move. Shocked he’s still playing to be honest. Guess he wasn’t willing to give up any of that money. Similar to Pujols.

[jaysblue]

Here's my list of the ones I've been too. I'm probably forgetting some and I know I've been to some that no longer exist.

 

Great Ballparks

1. PNC Park

2. Oracle Park

3. Camden Yards

4. Coors Field

 

Old but Hold Up Well

5. Dodger Stadium (the location is the only bad thing but LA doesn’t have a good downtown anyway)

6. Kauffman Stadium (location the problem here as well but it's very underrated otherwise)

 

Good New Ballparks

7. Petco Park

8. T-Mobile Park (Seattle)

 

Kind of s***** but New

9. Citizens Bank Park

10. Minute Maid Park

 

Old But Gets the Job Done

11. Rogers Centre

 

Old and Horrible

12. Angels Stadium

 

Doesn’t Even Count and Soon Won’t

13. Oakland Coliseum

 

Still have to visit PNC Park and Camden.

 

Oracle and Coors Field I would say were both of my favourites I've been to thus far!

 

Wasn't a big fan of Dodgers Stadium to be honest but still a good place to watch a game.

 

Petco and T-Mobile Park are great venues to explore and watch a game. Excellent craft beer as well.

 

I actually really liked Minute Maid Park. A lot of fantastic food options as well.

 

Citizens Bank in Philly is meh.

 

Not a big fan of the new Yankee Stadium. Preferred the old one. As for Citi Field, like it a lot better than the new Yankee Stadium.

 

I didn't mind Angels Stadium but yeah it's kind of run down. Cheaper prices on concessions at least than Dodgers Stadium.

 

Visited the Trop this year. As bad as it seems, I didn't mind it that much. Felt like you were watching a game in Japan or Korea which has similar ballparks.

 

Visiting Truist Park next week for Game 1 of the NLDS. Looks awesome and can't wait!

[philly30]

I like Citizens bank park but have not been there in awhile, the worst was old Yankee stadium

[hanton]

Fairbanks is filthy

[Terminator]

The only games that the Rangers are going to lose from here on out are the ones they lose to Seattle. Angels are the only other series they have and they're completely rudderless at this point. That won't be enough to keep them at bay. They're going to be in. I just hope they dominate Seattle then.

 

Angels currently lead the Rangers 9 to 1.

Yeah I might flip Philly and Houston parks. Philly's park sucks. Houston's kind of sucks but I think it's the retractable roof that is always closed which makes it worse than it actually is. But thank god for that roof being closed.

"The game isn't over yet. I don't know why you'd post about the Angels winning that game. There is still time. All I'm saying is there is a chance they lose."

No worries, angels have won the game!

 

That's a nice break, hopefully they got another one in them.

oh an oriole died? sad

 

Classy!

[connorp]

That’s 163 IP for Grayson already. Way more than years past, but seems he’s full steam ahead for playoffs. No babying. Will be big part of their puzzle

[Masterbather]

The worst part of this time of year is all the worthless preseason hockey and hockey fluff pieces I have to hear about and see everywhere.

NL Wildcard this weekend should be very interesting.

 

Marlins and Cubs tied for the 3rd spot. Arizona likely gets in being up 2 games on both.

 

Reds have to pretty much win outright and hope the Cubs/Marlins lose all their games. They had a great season still and should be a fun team to watch in 2024!

[Brownie19]

"a bundle of sticks" is the shittiest chirp I've ever heard. How do you get mad at someone who's intelligence is that low?

I'd like to make a correction. Neris is fantastic at chirping.

[Stangstag]

I prefer going to a stadium in the middle of nowhere surrounded by parking. At least then I can drive and park my own vehicle. I’m not a fan of public transport. Especially these days with all the crackheads and crime.

 

Crackheads?? Lol. Take the go train. At least we have options

[Masterbather]

Did he actually call him a bundle of sticks or did he call him that word. Because would that not earn him a suspension with only a few games left to go in a playoff chase?

[Olerud363]

The Great teams of the AL East are well represented on Baseball America's minor league all star team. This illustrious all star team is not just for one level, but for all levels and players on this list are deemed by baseball America to have such potential that they will likely give their fan bases joy and happiness for a generation to come. AL East fans rejoice. So many great young players to enjoy.

 

The Baltimore Orioles, already a 100 win team, put Samuel Basillo, perhaps the greatest 18 year old hitter ever, Jackson Holliday, and Heston Kjerstad on the list.

 

The Tampa Bay Rays, already a 98 win team, put two, Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda on the list.

 

And the Boston Red Sox, once judged to have the worst farm system in baseball history, put Roman Anthony on the list.

 

So much joy to come for the great AL East teams. NY Yankees did not put a player on the list, but now have gone 31 years since their last losing season and likely will clinch their 32nd straight winning season tonight. The Yankees never give up and play hard as hell, even if eliminated from the playoffs, it takes this kind of work to get 32 years straight of winning ball.

 

The AL East. Best division in baseball with four of the best organizations in baseball. Congratulations AL East fans. So much happiness to enjoy.

Forget all that, have you seen the stadium renovations? Aren't they wonderful? We can look forward to more stadium renovations next year. We are truly blessed.
