    Even I can agree with this. Well said.

    Good observation. Nobody expected what we got last year. Minimal expectations on them last year. A magical season to enjoy as a fan.

    There are rumors that SD is going to move Miller at the deadline...

    The umpire said it was the worst one he'd seen in 20 years of umpiring. It was based loaded when it happened and the US team we were playing sent all 3 base runners home...

    I saw a random mock trade where the Jays get Jacob Melton from TB for Varsho. Sounds good to me.

    Yikes - not good! I'm done in Houston for a ball tournament with my son and one of our pitchers took a comebacker straight to the temple. Brutal stuff. Worst nightmare.

    I had to look this up, but Alomar is actually banned from MLB. Major League Baseball placed Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar on the ineligible list and fired him as a league consultant in April 2021. This discipline followed an independent investigation into an allegation of sexual misconduct stemming from a 2014 incident involving a baseball industry employee. Following the league's decision, the Toronto Blue Jays immediately severed all ties with the 12-time All-Star, removing his banner from the Rogers Centre and cutting him from their "Level of Excellence".

    Bingo.

    Truth hurts eh? Alomar is a POS man. There's lots of evidence of this.

    Rizzo snags HR ball during Cubs' 10-year World Series celebration https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3567700 How can you not be romantic about baseball?!

    That realization was pretty clear years and years ago. It's been a terrible organization for a long time. He clearly doesn't care. Would there actually indications to him that things would be any different in Toronto? We're the AL version of the Mets.

    We're not getting Trout. Cool fantasy I guess. I also hate Jazz. Low IQ dipsh*t showoff. No thanks.

    I think there's a pretty good possibility Varsho only signs a 1 or 2 year deal. I'm good to bring him back on that. We have no internal options and the FA pool will be weak. It's a great example of why we had to give up Moreno to get a young CFer with control. There simply aren't many in the league.

    When I say it worked out about as good as you could have expected, I mean that Kirk became a stud, Moreno didn't become a superstar and Varsho was a good player. A lot of things could have gone differently, which would have changed how this trade was viewed. Obviously Kirk becoming Mike Piazza, Varsho could have turned into Griffey Jr and Moreno could have been out of the league by now. That would have been the "best case scenario".

    Nobody claimed it was a landslide win. It was a good trade for both teams. You have to consider timing and need too when evaluating it. Jays were ready to compete, they had depth at catcher and needed a CFer. Varsho was more developed and was ready to contribute when they got him. It fit their timeline. Moreno was a rookie catcher. They typically take time to develop and reach their peak - and the Jays still had Jansen as the established catcher, along with Kirk as the up and coming future catcher. It all worked out about as good as the Jays could have expected. Kirk's been as good, if not better than Moreno during the same period. Did we get as much out of Varsho was we hoped? No, probably not, but he's been a rock in CF, he filled the need and has been a good player. I think your memory may be a little foggy. Most fans were losing their minds that we got killed in the trade and that Atkins should be fired. I remember defending the move countless times, taking shots from the regular dopes about it. It was a good baseball trade that helped both teams.

    Not the most exciting All-Star Game, but I still LOVE that it's the only major sport where the game is played with a competitive mindset and a true display of how the game is played.

    Just the 3 of them out there tonight. No Bass McCary.

    Boyz II Men - absolute legends.

    Ernie with the sick defensive play!

    That tribute to The Sandlot with the fireworks and the kids on the bikes was pretty awesome. Well done MLB.
  22. Brownie19
    That's one of the best HR Derby's I've ever seen. Fantastic entertainment.
  23. Brownie19
    What league is this boys?

    No talk about the draft at all. Elliot Lascalles, Ontario HS kid went 60th to SD. Robert Omidi, another Ontario HS kid went 246th to Detroit. Evan Morrison went 290th to Texas. College kid who was playing for the Barnstormers of the CBL. They announced he got drafted during the CBL all-star game yesterday. Cool stuff.

    They explained it on the broadcast. He declared he was going from the wind-up for the previous batter, but didn't for Merrill. Apparently you have to declare each batter? I don't think she was wrong. Gausman used the wind-up for this game for the first times in years, so he's not used to having to do it...
