R.D. Mangles posted:the cubs and dodgers just played an insane, epic 9-inning game that was considered "extras" because it was the second game of a double-header. Probably the best ad for the new formats, it was insane and intense for 3 full innings with a bunch of last-second homers and gutsy pitching performances. I'm still not sold.

a dropped third strike isn't counted as an error though, so maybe it should be?

elentar posted:Is it generally accepted that Pujols is older than his stated age or was that just internet board poo poo? the money quote is quote:"I actually hit it off Octavio Dotel, I think I told you that. I was about about 12, 13, almost 13 years old," Pujols said, describing his first-ever home run. "And we go back, you know, 28 years later, and here I am." quote:“Well, Dotel, I believe he’s like three or four years older than me.” Pujols said. “He was in the league above me, and it was actually like an intrasquad game.” bawfuls fucked around with this message at 19:58 on May 6, 2021 |

Chamale posted:Dotel admitted to lying about his age, and if Pujols didn't know that, his story checks out with his real age. Also, Pujols got his American citizenship after the US started seriously verifying birth certificates from Latin America. Lastly, Pujols peaked at age 29, and 230-pound sluggers have their average peak at age 28. But Dotel himself has said he told scouts he was 17 when he was actually 19. He wasn't going around at 17 telling the other kids on the youth teams he was 15, which is what'd be required for their stories to line up. as you say. I can not tell if your post is serious because that last line is such an incredible oversimplification, maybe you're mocking the idea of aging curves? bawfuls fucked around with this message at 23:07 on May 6, 2021 |

Chamale posted:I've seen lots of people talk about Pujols's rapid decline as evidence that he lied about his age, but he compares favourably with other hitters his size. The fact that he became a U.S. citizen in 2007 with no questions raised about his birth certificate is the main factor that convinces me, though. everything else is circumstantial at best

Booing Greinke is dumb as hell but it appears at least some fans are paying attention to who they boo. My dad went to a Dunedin Jays game recently against Atlanta and he said the Braves fans there mercilessly heckled Springer the whole game.

Sydin posted:I'm not saying an apology solves everything, but if the players had shown even a reasonable amount of remorse or humility over the situation I'd honestly probably be over it right now. What pissed me off, and what continues to piss me off, is their victim complex and insistence that they actually did nothing wrong, and we're all just a bunch of snowflakes for getting angry.

General Dog posted:Vacating wins and titles is the dumbest thing in the world. What's done is done, you can't revise history. There’s no putting the genie back in the bottle, you can’t remove those memories from everyone involved. But you can prevent the Astros from hanging 2017 World Series Champions banners in their stadium, selling merch, having 2017 Championship Reunion events in 2037, etc. That owner will make more off the championship in the coming years than he paid in fines to the league for the cheating scandal in the first place. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 21:20 on May 7, 2021 |

General Dog posted:I think people need to be able to have confidence that once a game is over, the result is set in stone and not open to litigation at any point in the future. I think that a precedent suggesting otherwise would undermine the game far more than any concerns about cheating. What we are saying is now that we know they cheated, they should not be allowed to continue to profit from and celebrate that title in any official capacity going forward. No more banner in the stadium, no more trophy on display for fans to come and take selfies with, no more 2017 Champs merchandise for sale.

General Dog posted:This sounds a lot more like a salve for the aggrieved fans and players of the other 29 teams than a meaningful financial punishment for the Astros or future disincentive for anyone else to cheat. And yeah it would be a significant salve to the other fans, which is a good thing. Instead we now have a situation where 29 other fanbases are furious with the Astros and the league, with little recourse. There is no closure, people won’t “just get over it” like the Astros and MLB clearly want.

You can’t erase the pain Clayton Kershaw felt after Game 5 nor the anger and sadness I felt on his behalf, but you can throw us a fuckin bone by stripping the title instead of fining a billionaire 0.35% of his net worth and telling me justice has been served.

The Dodgers have been pretty bad against lefties this year so if I squint I can see a scenario where Pujols only ever faces certain lefties and is effective in that limited role I guess?
