The Astros not signing Aiken probably got them a World Series. It worked out so well for them that I honestly can't blame the Mets if a similar concern is there.

I greatly appreciate Baez, Rizzo and Bryant immediately contributing to their new teams and endearing themselves with those fanbases. It's the perfect way to traumatize Cubs fans that much more.

The Ricketts may honestly be the worst owners in baseball. If I were a Cub fan I'd have furious rage at them for ruining what should have been a 5-10 year historic run for the Cubs.

Yeah I guess but it clearly could and should have been much better than it was. Take a look at the Astros' run from say 2015 on (hur hur trash cans). The Cubs had an arguably more talented core than what the Astros have and yet the Astros have inarguably been more successful. The Cubs should have 2-3 World Series appearances and possibly have won another one. They should have been what the Dodgers are. That's how good they were.

Astros can do no worse than going 4-4 on a brutal road trip that included the Mariners, Giants and Dodgers. That is bloody fantastic.

Hey bawfuls it sounds like the Dodgers kinda went off on fans after the game saying the trash cans were a distraction and messed with Buehler's rhythm. I do agree with the logic that that stuff should be thrown when the Astros are fielding, not hitting.

That ain't true at all and of course I'm gonna fire back at bawfuls. I see it as friendly banter more than anything else? I don't think he's taking it seriously either? I think you may be misreading it a little bit BMJ. It's also heightened since the two teams are playing each other in a very hostile series of games right now.

I know the Dodgers cashed in on it, but did the Astros really do that? I don't live in Houston anymore so I'm not as familiar with the details, but it sounded like they tried to pull a similar stunt to the Dodgers and it ended up backfiring for like two seasons before they had to cave in?

So does Tatis move to the outfield long term or just this year? It's not like he was a great defensive SS to begin with and it may make sense to keep him there so his incredible bat stays as healthy as possible. Abrams could easily fill the shortstop role in 2022 and he's considered a plus defender there.
