elentar posted:JD Drew was loving amazing for the Braves in 2004, probably the best single season of his career. Really missed that RF production (especially the walks) over the years and years of Francoeur that followed. Definitely the best season of his career. I’m still happy we traded him for Waino, though.

Sydin posted:Homerism aside Suarez, Gennett, and Realmuto deserve to be starters on the NL roster, but they play for garbage time teams and the ASG is a popularity contest at it's core. That said Almora and Zobrist also deserved to make it, at least over Harper who honestly hasn't been that great this year, but Initial player selections have already gone through I thought. Inevitably some players opt out and replacement players get selected. That's how Aledmys Diaz made the ASG two years ago.

I’m stuck in court and idly wondering: Any idea which player has the record for most positions played at an ASG over their career? I’d assume it’s be someone who started as CF, then corner, then 1B, but I really have no idea.

Fun facts about today’s game: RUNS White Sox closed captioning calls Jace Fry “Chase Friday”, which sounds like a pulp detective. Some random scalper right by the box office was telling people to buy from him rather than black people because “whites should stick together” and telling people not to be Democrats. I’ve also seen him wearing a “Fake News Network” t-short before. I have not, as of yet, taken a swing at him.

Epic High Five posted:we live in a timeline beyond parody Don't all postseason ticket purchases for season ticket holders just count as a mandatory purchase that then counts against your next season's amount due for any unused games? I know that in theory that's how it works with the White Sox but in practice, y'know, White Sox. I assume he bought more seats for the postseason than he had season tickets, but still. Give me more details and wear the hat, Ashley.

N: Last night Albert went 3 for 4 with a walk and 2 home runs. A moment to just Albertpost: He's now tied with Griffey at 630 career home runs, next up is Willie Mays at 660, presumably sometime next year. He also has an outside shot at passing A-Rod (696) and getting to 700. He's currently tied with Rickey Henderson at 3,055 career hits. Biggio is next (3,060), he has a shot at also passing Ichiro (3,089) and A-Rod (3,115) this year for hits. Next year he probably passes Gwynn (3,141) and maybe gets past Ripken at 3,184. He's at 1,970 career RBI, already good for 7th all-time. By the end of the year he should pass both Gehrig (1,995) and Bonds (1,996), becoming only the 5th player ever to get 2,000 RBI's. He's currently 9th all-time in career total bases, at 5,611. Next on the list is Pete Rose at 5,752 and Babe Ruth at 5,793. He's also above 100 career WAR again. V: Albert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHzflTsTPxk E: Oh shoot, he tied Griffey against the Mariners, too.

Troxartas posted:Uh is Ozuna having a good year? Just checked, not really. Gyorko, Carpenter and Norris seem like the only possible selling pieces from the 25-man to me. Wong would be selling low with a long time of club control remaining, ditto DeJong. Mikolas only has another year left but he eats too many innings, same for Wacha, plus he'd be selling low most likely given the injury.
