Pablo Sandoval hit a walk off home run for the San Francisco Giants to save them from losing 99 games on the year








what the gently caress even was this season
It was pretty inevitable considering how bad the Giants' farm system has been for a number of years now, and all of the core players are getting old

Announcers in the Dodger game said Pablo's walkoff dong cost them the first-round draft pick.

Not as huge of a deal in baseball as other sports but still... what a season for the Giants
Tigers finish with the worst record in MLB. Which is pretty ridiculous considering how much talent is on that roster. Granted since the season started they dealt away Avila, Verlander, Upton, Martinez, and Wilson, but still..

Turns out it doesn't matter what the "real" home run record is, because Stanton didn't get either
I was getting tired of sportswriters acting like if he got 62 that would somehow usurp all of the others who have gotten more and are still in the record books.

MLB is looking into who was paying for Maitan to live in the US for 2 months prior to when he was allowed to sign with the Braves. If the team did pay for any of his expenses he could be deemed a free agent.

A hearty congratulations to the Astros for dispatching what might be the single most unpalatable and unlikable baseball team of my time watching baseball.
I hate the Yankees but the players on this team are fine. I have met several of them over the last few years.

Didn't stop Theo Epstein from firing Ricky Renteria like ten days after saying "Rick is our manager in 2015" because Maddon opted out in Tampa.
The Braves also don't have a GM currently so whoever ends up in that job could opt to go with someone else

So the new Jeter-run Marlins ownership plans to shop Stanton, Prado, and Gordon in order to reduce their payroll for next season.

I feel like this franchise is stuck in an infinite time loop where we always get to see our stars doing well for other teams but we never get to keep them.

Another thing about Stanton that seemingly nobody in the media is mentioning is that he has a full no-trade clause. Presumably he'd waive it to go play RF for a contender, but it's not as if the Marlins are guaranteed to be able to ship him off to whatever club offers the most for him.
He can also opt-out of his deal in like 2 years

There are some issues with Shohei Otani's posting that may delay him hitting the open market this offseason....
