Mattingly was the saddest. Dude broke in during the ‘83 season, was a beast for all of the 80s on some brutal teams, wrecked his back and lost his power, and retired right before the dynasty started. He made the playoffs once in his career (his last year, and never made it out of the ALDS), retired, and then watched the Yankees win 4 World Series in 5 years 😩

He wasn't much worse that some of the first basemen they won the world series with (at the end of his career, I mean), either.

Yeah the categories of BBWAA voter now appear to be:

-extremely self important
-trolls looking for attention
-old guys carrying out a crusade over steroids
-people complaining about having to make subjective decisions
-people who say they don’t care/the process is bad so they refuse to participate

Presumably there are a few who just vote and don’t make a big stink about it?

Well he does appear to imply he knows those are bad opinions. And that Schilling's ideas are comparable. So I guess that's maybe better than it could have been?

Why would Cohen be going to jail over any of this? All he did was buy equity in Melvin Capital for pennies on the dollar use his vast funds to bail out a fellow hedge fund.

Did you misread the dollar figure as Yen instead of Dollars? Tanaka being the highest paid player in NPB makes sense to me.

For some reason I thought he was way older and figured he was going on a retirement tour.

Apologies to the goon I quoted, that really is a damning sign of the owners priorities.

Because while he's only 32 but he's been pitching professionally since 2007. So he's old in baseball years, just not old.
