More Angel Hernandez news.

 

Lol welcome aboard Angel

[Masterbather]

No because whites can’t have records in the Negro League. They were extremely privileged farmers who don’t deserve additional recognition

 

Josh Gibson is the greatest baseball player to ever live. Retire his number

 

Jackie Robinson. Wayne Gretzky. Michael Jordan. Josh Gibson

 

Lol.

 

Whatever, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. MLB gonna MLB, 2024 gonna 2024, but for them to get credit for trying to "make things right", come on, this is really a sleight of hand to make as much of the unsavoury past just go away.

[L54]

I won’t lose any sleep either. I had never heard the name Josh Gibson until yesterday (actually sounds like a white boy name to me)

 

But ya they’re all patting themselves on the back as their ESG rating goes up. Good job MLB

Wayne Gretzky?

 

I think you mean Dwayne Jetski

[Stangstag]

Because they weren't allowed to, solely due to the colour of their skin. You're going to need to get over this. People will learn the stats from those players/records are unique, but it will create good conversation on the atrocities of our past.

 

Yes I understand they were barred and thats awful. But we are now moving the goalposts for what counts and doesn't count in the record books, and its not even the same for all players.

 

End of the day I don't really give a s***, its not like I spend time looking at old records. More just that i'll be rolling my eyes whenever people say Josh Gibson is the all-time AVG/SLG/OPS leader, because he isn't.

[mphenhef]

What's next? Adding retired players beer league stats?

 

To be fair, they removed many of the stats for these players for things like their barnstorming tours and exhibition games. Otherwise, the counting stats would have been MUCH higher.

[L54]

Wayne Gretzky?

Dwayne Johnson. Calgary Stampeder legend

I suspect most people will understand the nuisance of that claim. To be honest, I don't find it all that different then comparing stats from the 1920's to stats from the 2020's.

 

- Ruth played in stadiums that didn't have outfield fences and in some cases, the outfield fences were held by spectators, who would MOVE THE FENCE depending on which team/player was up.

- The accuracy of stats kept from like 1880 to say 1950 v. today is always in question.

- # of games played changed.

- Level and amount of competition changed dramatically.

- The mound heights changed throughout the years.

- Distance between bags just changed, no takeout slides, disengagement changes, ghost runners, etc.

 

The reality is the goalposts have and continue to move all the time, which should be expected for a sport that's been around for 150+ years. Comparing stats always needs to be done with some knowledge of the game and a grain of salt. I don't think this is much different.

Okay, that one was pretty funny.

He’ll climb the corporate ladder at Boeing in no time!

[M.E.]

He’ll climb the corporate ladder at Boeing in no time!

 

And then sue them

[hanton]

Gunnar Henderson grand salami off of Kutter Crawford

[hanton]

The Red Sox are actually a pretty exciting team to watch, Wilyer Abreu looks like a stud

[Barrelsandbombs]

[Jays24]

 

This guy wouldn't last 2 days with the Jays management but sign me up lol

[hanton]

Never thought I'd see another Interference during an infield fly....

 

[Spanky__99]

 

lmao... that's gold....

[Abomination]

 

He probably should have been DFA'd already anyway.

[hanton]

^ the language thing aside, not a good look at all. Expected an apology

[Spanky__99]

He will and move on... unless he walks from MLB, which is possible. It's candid no doubt.

[jaysblue]

He's s***, moron.

 

He's been somewhat decent this season, but his K/9 really low. His 2022 season looks more like an anomaly.

[Brownie19]

Luis Gil - 29 hits allowed in 63.1 innings this year. Unreal.

Awesome start for him. If he could lower his BB/9, watch out!

[Dr. Dinger]

Who the f*** is Jorge Lopez?

[Stangstag]

Never thought I'd see another Interference during an infield fly....

 

 

This one is even worse because Soto needs to get back to the bag or else its a DP. Isn’t the baserunner entitled to the bag?? f***ing egregiously bad call.
