    Well deserved for Varsho. Incredible year defensively.

    Angels trade for Scott Kingery. Man - there must be a story of what happened to this guy. He signed that pre-arb deal with the Phillies - was good in 2019 (2.1 WAR, 100 wRC+) and then fell off the face of the earth. He's coming off a 25/25 season in AAA, but it's with a 104 wRC+. I wonder if all that early money he got lead him down a dark path (drugs, booze, etc.)? I haven't heard anything - just speculating. The Phillies essentially gave up on him after the 2020 season.

    The media fooling people into believe something that isn't true is pretty common these days...create strong opinions like that isn't wise.

    Why would you say "It’s dumb. I don’t care what anyone says" then? It's all just semantics. We don't know all the reasons why they wanted the contract to be prepared that way, but it's a 10 year $460M deal. End of story.

    Apparently Freeman played the entire playoffs with broken rib cartilage. The legend grows.

    Yeah I'm not surprised by this move at all. They didn't have room for him when they traded for him. Putting Soler out in RF was a desperate move to try and inject offense into a lineup that grossly underperformed and dealt with major injuries. And it worked pretty good as Soler hit well in Atlanta. You just knew that wasn't a long term fix. It's an...interesting return for him, but we knew the Braves needed arms. It will be interesting to see what the DH bats get this offseason. 2 years $26M for Soler might end up looking like decent value. Or not.

    I remember reading about how when he was a kid, he had a batting cage in his basement and would hit 1,400 balls a day. His dad is a hitting instructor who is pushing the idea of "hitting perception". Alex was a top prospect at one point - just never worked out for him unfortunately.

    Man I love baseball. Those playoffs were incredible to watch. Big time performances, big time home runs, big time comebacks. I don't even mind the errors - it just shows you how even the best make mistakes and that sometimes the pressure of the big game gets to the best of them. Kike cements himself in Dodgers lore after getting some glasses mid-season. Buehler somehow finds himself after a terrible season. Those knuckle curves were unhittable. Props to Cole for a gutsy performance. To pitch into the 7th after that 5th inning, with a blister and thus no slider, was impressive. Huge congrats to Freddie - that's a legendary performance. Congrats to my man Teo and I love that KK retires a champion (wish he was on the roster though!). The game of baseball is just such a beautiful thing - especially the playoffs. It was nice to just watch it as a baseball fan, with no true rooting interest. Without all the negativity, second guessing, bitching, etc. that we all far too often add to the Blue Jays games.

    Good for him man. Despite all the injuries, he found a way to play a huge part in a couple of World Series victories. He was effective right up until the end and he walks away as a champion. That's a nice way to go.
  10. Brownie19
    Here we go....may have a series yet
  11. Brownie19
    Yeah - unfortunately, this isn't just a NY thing. I never liked the "classy [insert city] fans right there" comments. I think there's a good possibility you could see fans for any team try that s***. No different than having fans throw s*** at players, or all the other ******** you see from time to time. People are f***ing stupid.

    The guy with 7 chins is an old friend of Gronk's. Went to university with him - said he was on the hockey team. Of course Gronk said he's a great guy and he loved what he did to Betts.
  13. Brownie19
    Display an ounce of athletic ability and catch/deflect that ball before Betts does? It's clearly on the "fan" side of the wall and thus that would have been fair game. Perhaps more difficult when you've got 7 chins.
  14. Brownie19
    Man - that's brutal - f*** those 2.
  15. Brownie19
    I don't know about that man. Kike is cementing himself as a playoff legend for the Dodgers - what a turnaround this year. Yamamoto was lights out too. But yes, I guess some of what you're saying is true. I just finished watching The Comeback on Netflix. Really incredible documentary. It would be unreal to see the Yanks do that in the World Series.....especially when the last 9 teams to go up 3-0 in the WS have won it in 4...
  16. Brownie19
    I'm sorry - but we were given a gift in Game 1. One of the best World Series games of all-time. There's absolutely no way this WS can be consider a disappointment - even if it's a 4 game sweep.
  17. Brownie19
    Blah. No drama at all.
  18. Brownie19
    That's the fastest Stanton has run all season...let that sink in.

I just realized Joe Davis did the ultimate tribute to Vin Sully....same call! This afternoon Joe Buck called the David Freese HR in 2011 where he quoted his Dad "and we'll see you tomorrow night" (Puckett HR). That's as good as it gets for a broadcaster. To have the opportunity to call a historic moment and to pay tribute to some of the best to ever do it. Well done. How can you not be romantic about baseball!

    I'd say the Jets. I never expected anything from the Browns with Watson as their QB.

    Dodgers announce Ohtani WILL play in game 3...
  22. Brownie19
    With Ohtani returning for games 6 and 7 to play hero? Yep - sign me up.
  23. Brownie19
    Another incredible game. I really do hope this somehow goes 7 games...
  24. Brownie19
    They are saying shoulder...maybe popped out?
  25. Brownie19
    It's his left arm...
