alpha_destroy posted:The loving Royals have won 7 of their last 8 series. What the hell is going on? Baseball is a weird sport. Do you remember how bad the offense was in April? It was extraordinary. That being said Alcides Escobar is still dominating the "worst hitter in MLB" contest but Alex Gordon might still beat him depending on how long this recent hot streak lasts.

Blind Pineapple posted:The Royals aren't nearly as bad of a team as they were in April. They're just a boring average team that will finish with 80-85 wins. They probably would've been better off being super terrible, though, so at least they could get a little return for some of their good players at the deadline. Keeping the core of a team to compete for the second wildcard and is going to leave anyway doesn't seem like a great long-term strategy. The team is pretty cooked after this year no matter what; I'd just as soon they buy one more ticket to the lottery known as the MLB playoffs rather than blow it up a year in advance. That said in neither case do the Kennedy or Gordon contracts make sense.

That's kinda harsh especially with Duffy pitching.

I still for the life of me don't understand how Judge went from "middling hitter in AA" to "best hitter on planet" between the ages of 23 and 25.

Today Kershaw finally has a chance to show he's surpassed Danny Duffy as the game's premier power LHP.

Today I learned that in high school Aaron Judge was simultaneously a superstar pitcher, 1B, tight end, and power forward. Aaron Judge is basically Bill Brasky.

Nashville, Hampton Roads, or Sacramento would all be good choices. Probably Hampton Roads first...that place really needs a big league sports team.

Are the Sox going to send off Abreu for a poor return also?

BILL BRASKY heard that some egghead at NASA said you couldn't hit the roof with a baseball so BRASKY went and tried out for the Yankees rookie league team, made it to the majors, led the league in home runs at the all star break and then put a ball through the roof, later he found the NASA egghead and helped him make some adjustments to the international space station trajectory while making love to the guy's wife

How in the hell did that guy decline so quickly? He was a fantastic hitter. speaking of steep declines is country breakfast playing ball anywhere these days? edit 2 - I guess looking at panda's numbers his decline was actually quite gradual, but still, how did he get so much worse in his mid 20s? bewbies fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Jul 14, 2017 |

The Rangers have a lot of very good young hitters, they pretty much did a rebuild in place. Now the young hitters need to start hitting, is the thing.

One time when I was visiting Columbia I made the decision to go to a buffalo wild wings when the cardinals were playing in the world series. This is what we term a "life mistake".

What is the biggest height differential between 1st and 2nd WAR finishers in an MLB season? We may break that record this year

Beltre's probably had a better career than George Brett. Well that's my take on things.
