  1. Pretty good list. Arod at 3rd? Ichiro or Vlad in RF? Both would have an argument, but like Judge, neither did anything in the postseason (unlike Judge, neither had much of a chance)
  2. Right. the money won’t be the issue with him. the black hole if we’re still competitive will be. unfortunately, like Biggio, the chances of us competing for anything the back half of this decade seem to get smaller and smaller by the week
  3. https://www.wsj.com/business/media/nbcuniversal-bids-for-mlb-rights-espn-dropped-a98e16c5?st=Kd7v3W&reflink=article_copyURL_share NBCUniversal Bids for MLB Rights That Were Dropped by ESPN Company aims to air games on NBC and Peacock streaming service
  4. Lost in all the shitty lineup talk: Altuve down to a .238 average. end of 2029 is a looooong way off
  5. Where is Brandon Bielak when you need him
  6. I need to check on my buddy
  7. Also on Sunday, Espada got tossed in the third arguing low strikes called against our guys ….even though he had Framber on the mound, a guy that feasts on a low strike zone.
  8. https://www.wsj.com/sports/baseball/what-is-a-swing-ea55e1ad?st=7REpma&reflink=article_copyURL_share Baseball Seeks an Answer to a 150-Year-Old Question: What Is a Swing? In a bid to settle the unending argument over when exactly a batter has swung at a pitch, MLB is launching a replay program in the minor leagues to adjudicate on checked swings Now baseball is trying to settle the debate once and for all. On Tuesday, MLB will launch a pilot program in the minor leagues of a replay system for check swings, the term used to describe when a hitter begins to swing but then stops partway through. The test, which will take place in the Single-A Florida State League, is an effort to inject a degree of objectivity into the murkiest calls umpires have to make. The new rule will work similarly to the automated strike zone that was auditioned during spring training this year and uses the same technology. Teams will have the ability to ask a computer to determine whether a hitter swung or not. If the head of the bat is ahead of the knob on the end by more than 45 degrees, the pitch will be deemed a strike.
  9. He throws 89. it’s going to be glorious. my rays buddy before tonight’s game: “watching Colton gordon and Brandon Walter mow us down is going to cause me to jump off the balcony of my hotel”
  10. Certainly isn’t working for the O’s
  11. Crowd mics are great in this park. they’ve got the “BEEEEER, beer ,beer, beer” guy at this park edit: this guy: who I heard yelling the same thing just now before the crack of the bat… on a Chas soft bloop RBI single.
  12. Cam just wants to play all of his games in spring training parks
  13. Not good when Dave Raymond and Blum are calling you stupid for challenging an umps bottom of the zone with Framber on the mound on your side
  14. Apple TV only tonight
  15. Man that was some 1980s pitching. 2:01. 1-0 1 CG on 91 pitches other pitcher goes 8 on 96 pitches
  16. Yuli put a fucking curse on the Astros at first base.
  17. he played in 9 years…. he didn’t have 9 years of service time unfortunately. His service time was a little over 6 years. still a very respectable career and the consummate pro. Still have a couple of Hugs for Homers bobbleheads. he was one of my girlfriend’s favorite players on those 2016-2019 Astros teams and like a lot of us, hated it when he was traded (fucking Dusty/Maldonado). My son (5-7 yo at the time) would give her all of his Kemp baseball cards whenever he got one and I randomly noticed a couple last night going through stuff I haven’t seen in a while. I was thinking “I guess he hung them up or maybe he’s still trying to make one last go of it.”… and then this news comes today. go enjoy retirement and raising your family, Tony!
  18. Looking ahead, holy shit we play on Thursday!
  19. 21.2 IP, 1 R, 10 H, 6 BB, 27 K the last time through for Hunter, Ronel and Framber is pretty good
