Julio Cruz posted:there are 14 players ever to have got 800 hits from ages 35-39 Now do 35+ and there are 64 players meeting the ~763 hits required criteria  EDIT: And if you do this search backwards, Markakis was 60th with 2,237 hits through age 34 season. Short list of an example of people who had less hits than Markakis through age 34: George Brett Tony Gwynn Rafael Palmeiro Rickey Henderson Wade Boggs Paul Molitor Dave Winfield Craig Biggio Not saying he's as good as these players buuuut the dude was super durable before 2019 and then 2020 stole a year and now he's gone. He averaged like 155 games played and 670 PA's. It wasn't an entirely crazy thought. Thom P. Tiers fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Mar 12, 2021 |

mcmagic posted:For the last 2 years, LeMahieu, also not a 400mm player, has been better. After 2018, Lindor got worse each of the next 2 years. His SLG was also 100 points down from 2019 to 2020..... That isn't NOTHING. You are comparing two entirely different positions and also a 27 year old and a 32 year old. Lindor has more bWAR than LeMhaieu in 4 less seasons. You aren't helping your argument. You are also using a hosed up pandemic year in your analysis in which any type of normalcy was hard to come by.

The law is poo poo but like, this actually does do some damage for Atlanta area business right? Especially since I'm sure a lot of the entertainment/tourism industry in that area took a dive from the pandemic too? Hopefully this will get them to actually look at the law and how stupid they are buuuut I doubt it. Or am I thinking about this in an entirely wrong way? The games usually bring in like 60-70m into the area.

I'm not convinced loving AT ALL he did it for the right reason. I guarantee you there were sponsors contacting MLB and telling them to get the hell out of Georgia or we are out. Just like Washington and FedEx. The sponsors just didn't have to make it public before it happening. $$$ rules.

Johnny Bravo posted:I had a friend who is a Cards fan lamenting to me over the weekend how some big names have decided to not play for STL in recent years and one of the names he brought up was Stanton not waiving his trade clause to go there Goldschmidt re-upped for them and they just got Arenado haha. It's more that the Cardinals don't go after the huge name free agents. They trade and then sign generally.

As much as I loved Pujols and still do, matching that Angels contract also would have been a disaster. It's nice to not have to watch our lovely fans be mad/angry/racist at an old and bad aging Pujols from 2012-21.

Popete posted:I would love MLB to point out exactly which rule Castellanos broke. I mean the umpire was right there so I'm assuming he knows exactly what he yelled at Woodford while he was pumping his fists? Maybe he said terrible words? But yea, probably should have just fined them all imo. He's obviously going to be fired up after getting hit and being mad about it and then scoring on a wild pitch.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Please don't allege some dude maybe said 'terrible words' with zero proof lol what? He clearly yelled something at Woodford and I'm almost certain it wasn't something friendly and nice based on the reactions. MLB has an unsportsmanlike conduct rule, pretty sure standing up, pumping fists, and screaming something directly at an opposing player would fall under that rule. Again, I don't think he should be suspended and the Cardinals (including Yadi grabbing him) definitely are at fault here too, but there are rules. Again, just fine everyone and be done with it. Can't suspend just one guy. Johnny Bravo posted:I assume it has to do with getting the benches to clear in the age of COVID which is dumb bullshit but that's still my assumption Actually didn't even think of this. I think they did put in some protocols about trying not to get the benches cleared and stuff. Once teams reach 85% vaccination can they brawl without penalty again?

Its Rinaldo posted:Suspend Cruz for two games for looking at the opposing team while running around the bases after a home run Cruz and Schoop were teammates on the Orioles and Twins. You are all acting like every stadium wouldn't be full or drat close to it if their respective states were allowing it. Every stadium hit their "capacities" over the weekend... right? The only thing stopping more from attending are state mandates that won't allow them to sell more seats. $$$ rules, as usual. The California teams had 10-12k each. The Rockies had 20k each. The Cubs and Yankees met their limits too.

mcmagic posted:Judge is completely unreliable. It would be insane to pay him. In his most unreliable season outside of a pandemic he put up 5.5 bWAR. In his other entirely unreliable season he put up 5.9 bWAR. To go along with an .853 OPS in 150+ PA's in the postseason. The man should get heavily paid for 5 years with an option for a 6th or something barring an entirely lost season this year or next.
