  1. But did he give a year?
  2. Helluva 8-2 double play by the Phillies
  3. Munoz 0.00 ERA with 17 saves and 22.2 IP is pretty special
  4. (I’m sure that’s been posted somewhere along the way)
  5. Staying on the Simpsons theme, live look at Houston Methodist Astros advertising account rep:
  6. Maybe he’s just a glass half empty kind of guy, got good news that it’s nothing major, and just wants a second opinion that there isn’t really anything serious wrong.
  7. In other words, Altuve after a big chunk of 2027 is gone after the current cba expires…
  8. That will be interesting. On one hand, 100 lost games over a 12-13 year HOF level career (~2,100 games) may not seem like a lot. on the other, that’s 5% of a career and will certainly result in some guys falling just short of big milestone numbers.
  9. 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)
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Lost in all the shitty lineup talk: Altuve down to a .238 average. end of 2029 is a looooong way off
  13. Where is Brandon Bielak when you need him
  14. I need to check on my buddy
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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”
  18. Certainly isn’t working for the O’s
  19. 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.
  20. Cam just wants to play all of his games in spring training parks
