What was the justification for them being like that to begin with?

I'm surprised the same didn't happen at some point with the Astros and Tal's Hill or the pole

lol called a truce with the astros in hopes they'd help him drive up his market I guess

e: For anyone who doesn't want to click through, Bauer basically says the Astros had their shame tour and it's time to move on which is fiercely at odds with how people actually feel since there were no fans in the stands to boo them this season

Well we did mention managers of the year being fired earlier, could Cash pull it off if Snell is pissed enough and tries to force it?

We had an argument over whether or not the Yankees should have traded Cano and Wang for Dontrelle

welp I was dead wrong

e: I think this was right after Cano's rookie year and he had yet to really blow up

Kim Ng was the person I wanted the Astros to hire at GM when they inexplicably went with Ed Wade instead

Is it just me or is the Stanton trade too high on this list at #2? The rest of the top-5 are:

1) The most infamous transaction in baseball history
3) Inner circle Hall of Famer and franchise icon (though past his peak)
4) Inner circle Hall of Famer before his peak
5) Inner circle Hall of Famer before his peak

Actually #3 is too high as well imo

Didn't Morton say something about never wanting to leave Tampa?

I believe he said Tampa or retirement when he left the Astros, but who knows how he feels after such a great 2019 and coming around to form in the playoffs this year

He was also fairly unlucky this year, a 4.74 ERA vs a 3.45 FIP

Crick going full hold me back bro on Puig while dipping out as best he can was fantastic

Intruder
Mar 5, 2003

Several guys tried to gently hold Puig back only to be violently thrown off and they suddenly realized oh poo poo this is the real thing and had to swarm him

All while Puig was technically no longer a Red

It still lacks the majesty of the Puig vs the entire Pirates team moment though

e: Garrett is still the best part though, telling his pitching coach to get someone up because he's gonna go fight

Remember Dick Allen the next time some clown says Curt Schilling should be in the hall of fame

gently caress Schilling and I laugh every time he doesn't get in but he has a 21 bWAR advantage on Allen

Or do you mean that guys should get in on their play no matter what people might think of them?

this is not mets style incompetence, this is intentional. They want the good PR of changing the name, while also getting all the money from the pro-indians fans who will (hopefully, in the teams mind) spend even more money on merch this season knowing that it's going away. Then, once they actually change the name they get all the money from the non-shithead fans who are happy to buy new, not racist merch.

this is money grubbing to a serious level

yeah it's this

If the Braves ever do change their name it needs to be a bird team. The city's other two teams are already bird teams anyway and the world could always use more of them
