Waaaaaay to fnnn early.
Also, I remember trading Jeff Kent for David Cone. Cone pitched a few months and in the playoffs. Then Cone left at the end of the season for FA. Kent was a multiple time All-Starr and should have been a HoF IMO.
However, we won a damm WS with Cone. Parade memories and trophies last forever.
If Canada can’t beat them, I say fight them. That 2013 brawl was epic! I would love Mexico vs Canada 2.0. Canada blows them out and beats their ass in an on-field brawl lol
I remember Canada did the same thing last WBC. I want to say it was with a their best closer..Maybe Axford at the time ICR. They were in a blow out game or something like that, they were playing a really good team next game and they are using their closer. I might have the details wrong, but I distinctly remember thinking WTF!!??
There is a difference between on base ability and situational hitting ability.
Varsho got a sac fly yesterday, has good overall power. I think a guy like Varsho is exactly who you would want in the 5th/6th spot for RBIs assuming your top hitters are getting on base.
There not wrong, pretty ugly and look low budget….

So I suspect that our former OFs would have probably been an out at 3rd base or got caught in a run down on the bases with the ball hit to the 3rd base side. I also suspect they wouldn't have been on 2nd in the first place. I am also pretty sure that the ball hit to Varsho in LF wouldn't have been caught.
So run prevention OF, SBs, and no extra outs on the basepaths. Those little things add up.
