Altuve didn't use the trashcan to hit. He used it to field. Bang once, double play. Bang twice. Get one out at first. No bangs. Throw the ball away and let everyone advance. Still cheating though. He needs to hear the trashcan bangs in order to know where to throw. Edited October 15, 20205 yr by FondrenRoad
October 15, 20205 yr You guys are hilarious. Congrats on back dooring your way to the ALCS. It’s obvious the 2 best AL teams played in San Diego in the ALDS already. Although I hate the Rays it will be awesome to see them send your sorry cheating asses back home tomorrow.

Those lifelong “fans” are asking things like if contracts are insured and if the MLB has revenue sharing. But I’m the one that doesn’t know shit about baseball. Hey smart guy that was me asking if the contract was insured and there’s a reason for that- not every baseball contract is insured. Most aren’t in fact. It’s completely at the owners prerogative and it’s done on a case by case basis you silly head. Edited October 15, 20205 yr by Wulaw Horn Name calling.

Maybe if you spend another 100 million next year, you might win. And who doesn't like the Rays? They're a team. Home grown mostly. You hate the Astros but they're a team too. Also mostly home grown. Are the Yankees a team? Stanton has been there for two or three years, still not a Yankee. Cole has been there one year. Is he a Yankee? The farm matters. You can't just buy championships. Ask Jeter.

You do realize that the Yankees “backed doored” into the playoffs as well? Without playoff expansion, they’d have been sitting home as well also, this is a good listen for those who believe that the Astros invented creative sign stealing. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-edge-houston-astros/id1531522658#episodeGuid=770624b4-04e0-11eb-9db7-6352f01880e9 Edited October 15, 20205 yr by TonyTexas

When I think homegrown- I think Japanese export pitcher who came over as a fully formed professional- developed by someone else with years of major league experience- at like 26 years old. For sure.

Only one of the Yankees top 10 salaried players were homegrown. Gardner.

I’ll give you a pass since they’re in our division and not yours, but everyone knows the Rays never have a strong farm system & that’s not how they build their team. They’re strength is finding cheap reclamation projects and creating favorable matchups through platooning & shifting a lot.

The .550 second place Yankees were clearly superior to the .600 division champion Twins and A's. You can tell because a bandwagon Yankee fan said so. And the only reason the Lakers won the NBA championship is because the Yankees didn't feel like playing basketball. Edited October 15, 20205 yr by TexArcher
