Intruder posted:I know I keep semi-calling you out but I'm just fascinated at how someone can become attached to a player like Charlie Morton when he doesn't even play for your favorite team 1) He's loving sexy 2) He was in my division for like a whole entire year I know he was injured the whole time, but still 3) He was on the Pirates, and the Pirates are a likable team except for John Jaso edit2: 4) It's also just cool to see someone level up like he did, tbh, especially so late edit: mcmagic posted:I think he was rated fine. He just pitched unbelievably well in the playoffs and is probably the biggest reason the Astros won the series. Have to give him credit. I think you're probably right. It seemed like people expected him to do worse than he did, the people I interact with anyway.

Intruder posted:He's underrated in the sense that no one expected him to start throwing loving 98 mph At least in my circle of baseball fan friends, it seemed like his success was pretty much being treated as a fluke all year, something I understood at the beginning of the season but less & less as time went on. edit: anyway, regardless, I'm mostly just stoked that I have an actual REASON to like him, finally YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Nov 6, 2017 |

It hit me that we all knew about José Fernández "immediately" because it happened in the middle of the night so there was no waiting around for confirmation by the time we woke up. This is terrible news, and it's giving me flashbacks.

Your Taint posted:That one was a kick in the gut. Not that any of the other MLB lives that have been lost aren't (Halladay, if he's dead, hurts too), but the dude was only 24 and had Hall of Fame talent. Yeah, a HARD kick in the gut. People in SAS were super nice to me about how hosed up I was over it though, which is a weirdly bittersweet memory edit: Intruder posted:Apparently the plane is registered to his dad? So it might be his dad instead of him Yeah I saw that too, I think someone must have their wires crossed.

Nail Rat posted:Why would they bother making sure the food's good at Yankees Stadium? It's not like they have to work to draw in the crowd. Same deal at Wrigley, sans a couple of stands (in the bleachers of all places) or private clubs, it's poo poo food and poo poo beer all the way. That's a good point. The food is fantastic at Citizens Bank Park, and the drinks at Citi Field are top notch. Popete posted:Yankee Stadium looks like it was influenced by Soviet bloc apartment architecture. I had a bad experience sitting in the bleachers, so whatever you do don't get bleacher seats. I guess the rest of the stadium is fine though, the food was nothing special from what I remember. I'm not in the market for bleacher seats. If I go to a Yankees game, it's going to be as a treat to myself. Pancakes posted:As good a time as any to remind the thread: gently caress Ryan Braun.

STAC Goat posted:Citizen Bank is the perfect stadium. Great food, an open design that keeps you in the game even as you're walking around, tons of great seats and the ability to just watch the game from your feet from anywhere (which is generally how I prefer to watch). I love that drat stadium and will take any excuse to go to Philly for a game and a cheesesteak. I like the Mets and the Marlins. I go down to Citizens Bank Park for Phillies-Marlins games, so that I can comfortably root for the Marlins with my old college friends (I went to Temple). CBP owns, and the seats & food & beer are sooooooo much cheaper than everything at Citi Field. quote:I miss baseball. Same.
