Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



Yankees this season reminds me a lot of the 2013 team that failed to make the playoffs. Coming off of an embarrassing loss the previous season in the ALCS and follow it up with a bunch of early season injuries and zero depth. Also next year's free agent class outside of Ohtani is absolutely trash tier that Gio Urshela is on top 10 free agent lists. I love Gio but lol.

They just aren't good. No table banging is going to make them good lol. It's a poorly constructed roster.

Yeah you know why.

That's the biggest reason it's good that the NNL etc are recognized as major leagues now. The stats are all right there, next to the AL/NL players. It'll be a lot harder to erase the history in the future.

Foolish Baseball's "Yeah of Ohtani" video is a great watch, and he brings up Bullet Rogan's incredible 2-way performance (and how he kept up that elite 2-way performance for years, unlike Ruth).

Rays & Pirates both going into their series after losing the last game in an expected sweep. Definitely makes it more interesting.

They probably just want him to play everyday for a while, he's been mashing on his rehab.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

yeah gonna need him to stay down in Iowa a bit longer.

Really get that seasoning, doesn't have the veteran presence yet.

Yeah they don't really have a spot for him in the lineup right now unless they want to downgrade on defense by moving kepler to cf

God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?
N: Who's your MLB overall ERA leader? Why, it's Sonny Gray, of the Minnesota Twins, with an 0.77 ERA! Now the third pitcher in the entire WC era to throw 5+ innings in his first six starts and allow one run or less in each.

V: Yes, of course. This makes complete sense. Who would be the third guy to join Ervin Santana and Kris Medlen? We all called that it would be Sonny Gray on the Minnesota Twins. Obviously.

Was that when Ervin Santana was also on the Twins or was it one of his other bizarro years?

As an almost lifelong Rays fan this is the Ray's I'm used to starting every season somewhat strong and sinking to bottom 2. The last 6 years seem like anomalies and I'm still not used to seeing Rays in playoffs as a serious threat. I think I ended up becoming a Ray's fan in like 2003 and the team was still brand-new

Who could have foreseen going into the season with no actual left fielder, among other things, would have been an issue

Well when you have a veteran on staff like Hicks who can play* those multiple positions, you feel like you don't need to worry about things like positional fix.


*play meaning occupy physical space not be good lmao





Also, Corbin Carroll has a leg injury. I'm sad about it. He needs those to run fast.

For those who play OOTP, do the Negro League guys get respect with ratings when you do the import historical player thing?
