  1. When you first post them they are but a refresh brings them right up.
  2. Kim and Clement are very close to the same player overall, Kim just walks a bit more. Is the gap in salary between the two worth the extra ... 5-10 OPS+ or WRC+ ? I'd pass on Kim but only because Ernie is here.
  3. Not surprising but Teo says his priority is resigning with LA
  4. Worst tradition in MLB. Handing the trophy to the team president rather than a player.
  5. What a great way to end a World Series. Yankees lose. At home. By playing like dog s***. This is a great day.
  6. No doubt. Interfere with a live ball...like ffs. By the looks of that fan there was a bridge missing it's troll.
  7. I think in totality, if there is a sweep it can certainly be considered a disappointment. Freeman is the only star showing up from either team. There's not even a secondary player making that big of a difference and no "who the f*** is that?" pulling a Pat Borders. Right now, all the story lines aside from Freeman are "where the hell is everyone?" That said, the Yankees are getting s*** on so that's all I really need to enjoy it. It really is the simple things in life.
  8. Hit a bomb the other day, that's all I know Also, no updates on whether his wife is pregnant yet.
  9. Of course, they have to use the dumbed-down version of stats for you casuals
  10. Or even just have him warming down there as a decoy later in games or something just as a mindf***.
  11. RiP Fernando Valenzuela. Los Angeles Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela has died after being admitted to a hospital earlier this month for an unspecified health problem, the Dodgers confirmed Tuesday. Valenzuela was 63 years old.
  12. David’s ability to game plan and connect with players in different ways is a really exciting addition to our coaching staff,” manager John Schneider said in a statement. “He’s a true expert in all types of hitting information and will help our offensive strategy for each game." Veiled shot at agullermo who wasn't great at individual coaching? Maybe he "lost the room" to use a hockey reference? New is good. Bring that driveline swing plane the Dodgers like over here pronto.
  13. "We had a certain swing plane the Dodgers believe in and it’s great." The new guy Yes please.
  14. It's just sheer star power going head to head. MVP vs MVP...(probably) Soto,Judge,Stanton vs Betts,Freeman,Ohtani...assuming Freeman is healthy
  15. Not far away from what could reasonably be called the most highly anticipated World Series in recent history.
  16. I bet the Rays can't wait to get out of that bloody joint
  17. Reinsdorf is the 2nd longest tenured owner in MLB behind the Steinbreners. Bought the White Sox in 1981 for around 20 million. Most recent valuations have them at about 2 billion. 100-fold return after 40ish years on top of everything he's made off them in between. Solid return
  18. It's certainly an option as a thought exercise but it's very clearly not happening so it wouldn't really accomplish much. All it would really do is revisionist people more ammo to say the "see. I said we should have got rid of everyone last year and..." blah blah blah. Even talking trades, there's no real sustance any of us could project on what a potential return would like from any team, just a bunch of "Vlad should get an on field star above average regular, plus their top prospect, plus...etc etc.." and then when that didn't happen...just another bitch fest like they somehow had their fingers on the pulse of every GM in baseball and their willingness to gut their team to trade for 1 year of Vlad. So yeah. Sounds good!
  19. Opening game of NLCS TV ratings were more than double last year's and are the highest of any LCS in 15 years
  20. being fair, he made some decent points.
  21. When literally every single team passes on what someone is looking for and they get a 1 year deal, that doesn't really indict the Jays FO specifically as being bad. There are plenty of examples that are clear indicators of the failures of the FO, but that is not one of them.
  22. Yankees/Dodgers would be the preference for sure by a Longshot. The two league MVPs head-to-head in the playoffs? This series sponsored by Viagra. Come to think of it, when was the last time the two league MVPs faced off in the World Series? It doesn't strike me as a very regular occurence
  23. 2021 he was 34 RV in total on fastballs. Absolutely murdered them all season long. 2022 - 8 2023 - 1 2024 - 9 It wasnt what Vlad did against Fastballs this season, its what he did to nearly everything else. RVs on basically everything that wasn't a fastball were all way up. If pitchers want to beat vlad.. honestly,all they should be doing is throwing inner half fastballs. All he tries to do with them is inside out them to RF. He'll loop some singles and occasional doubles, but he doesnt really hit inner half fastballs for power, especially middle-in and lower-in.
