EXPLODE-O-BAT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zHegXvEwdI has anyone ever figured out the maximum possible distance a baseball can be shot/thrown/hit? like, the structural limit of the ball itself versus the violence of propulsion and/or wind resistance?

That loving sucks, but it’s not horribly surprising and OTOH it makes a Brantley deal or Correa extension more likely. Course, that assumes Crane/Click will actually do anything. I’m not filled with confidence when it comes to paying out big contracts when our new GM is a product of the Tampa Bay front office. He’s gonna cry about lost income due to covid and then fill the OF gaps with Tucker, Straw, and Aramark Employee #3456 instead.

Not trying to be an rear end in a top hat but I do wonder how many current Astros will, when they reach FA, want to move on as a means of trying to distance themselves and their reputation from the whole cheating fiasco.

I don’t think a lot of the younger guys like Yordan and Tucker will care since they weren’t even on the 2017 team, but guys like Springer may be A Thing as their contracts come up. It also helps that the 2017 team has already been parted out for a while now so there aren’t that many guys left that probably want to jump ship when given the opportunity. Altuve, McCullers, and Bregman will probably stick around. JV may be done entirely anyway. Yuli will likely retire an Astro since we just extended him through his age 38 season. Reddick is done as an Astro for sure. That really only leaves Correa, and I could see that going either way depending on how he feels about testing the FA market. It’s crazy, I hadn’t fully realized until researching this post just how scattered that 2017 roster had become.

Yeah sorry, I was more specifically talking about the hitters who were actively involved in the scandal but the way I worded it implied I meant everybody. I could definitely see Bregman sticking around since he seems wholly unbothered by being caught cheating and continues to embrace playing the heel. Correa will be interesting since his response has been less brushing it off and more  'ing about people being mean to him over it, so maybe he also sticks around? Springer also has the luxury of having put up back to back seasons where he was arguably a better hitter than the year he was getting the can banged, so he probably feels more comfortable testing FA since he can counter "you cheated why should we trust your numbers" with "because I put up even better numbers after I stopped cheating".

just realized I have a 3-4 hour work meeting I have to at least listen in on tomorrow morning starting at 6:30am. There will be one point somewhere buried in that meeting where someone asks me a question.

I think this is only the second time I've watched that video in full. I think I only watch the intro to The Show once, literally the first time I play that year. I wonder how many guys on those rosters are still playing, because I'm still in that "Oh 2005 was like last month" phase of life.

Or hit the question mark on your post here (or in any other thread) and c/p the relevant bit of the end of the resulting URL onto the URL of the thread you actually want to search.

Congrats to the Dodgers, and to the rest of us who can now go back to not feeling the least bit bad for any of their fans for their future hilarious fuckups. Also I think on the balance of this series, and given that there were actual rest days, that the Braves would have had a chance in this World Series matchup. But I can't see them being any better next year, or the Dodgers any worse, so I doubt there'll be any chance to test it out.
