It's okay to hate on Bauer for being a chud and a malicious user of social media, but he is absolutely going to come close to his metrics from last season, and there is nothing that is going to prevent it.

I know a lot of you hang your hopes on MLB coming down on Bauer for "foreign substances," just like some of you hung your hopes on the Astros really being penalized for 2017, but SPOILER, just like 2017, it is not going to happen. Not one single MLB pitcher is going to be penalized for using foreign substances for spin rate, or for carrying around soup for his family.

Trevor Bauer might win the Cy Young again this season. Mark it down, motherfuckers.

It is funny that Verdugo made a similar game saving catch this week as well. Look, I'm never going to be a fan of the Mookie trade because Mookie's a special player and I wanted him to retire a Red Sox, but Verdugo has been as advertised, and if Downs can do the same -- and so far there's nothing to indicate he won't -- then it's more a trade that everyone benefitted from. Though again yes, don't trade away a generational talent you freaking dopes.

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.

Mookie Betts is so great and I will never forgive the Red Sox for trading him. I don't give a poo poo if Alex Verdugo and Jeter Downs both become hall of famers and spend their whole careers with Boston.

Maybe? Bellinger is like 7" taller than Mookie (by listed height so it may be even more) so he may be able to get hit mitt under the ball even though he's slower. Bellinger grades out well as a defender according to OAA.

Part of the reason Yankee fans are so upset is not just that they are losing but that they look like complete and total poo poo dong so. They can't hit even terrible pitching and they have guys playing out of position all over the place kicking around the ball.

I think it might be collective realization that the magic is over. Stanton is already a shell of himself and was never even Pujols. Judge won't be worth what he will sign for and unless they juice the balls again, how will all these players hit bombs?
Pitchers will not sign with the Yankees unless they are overpaid. Why? Because they can pitch in offense suppressed parks...well documented..thanks internet!

Also just a reminder that Kapler is currently the manager of the Giants because when all this came out instead of just not hiring him, Zaidi instead decided to hold one of the most awkward, cringy pressers ever seen to try and justify hiring a guy who thought taking a rape victim out to dinner with her rapists was the way to sweep it all under the rug.

Look, we're not assholes with no sense of perspective and a crap load of entitlement. We just expect more than everyone else. We're just better fans because we want to win and if we're not on April 18th we'll boo the poo poo out of the team and throw stuff on the field. Because that's what good fans do.

There is a difference between booing a team that is playing like utter poo poo and throwing stuff on the field.

I still can't get over that the Yankees took a guy who was literally one of the 2-3 worst players in the majors and the rangers, a bad team, paid like 30 million to go away and just inserted him into the lineup batting 6th as an everyday player. It's time for this entire FO to get fired.
