August 21, 20205 yr Never heard of Dale Murphy? Dale Murphy hit a home run in the Dome over my head in the Pavillion once that I thought was going to kill me when it left the bat. Glad I didn't have a chance to attempt to catch that one.
August 22, 20205 yr Workman to Philly. Quote The Phillies announced the trade: They’re getting Workman, Hembree and cash for righties Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold.
August 22, 20205 yr Not exactly baseball related, but this headline caught my eye looking for new games for the kids in the fall.... and then I see the author... of course Keith Law is a board game dork: https://www.pastemagazine.com/games/board-games/board-games-fall-2020-preview/?utm_source=PMNTNL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=200820#leder-games Edited August 22, 20205 yr by UTexasFight

August 23, 20205 yr Quote A one-of-a-kind Mike Trout baseball card set a new record on Saturday night for the highest selling sports card of all time, selling for $3,936,000. The 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Superfractor signed rookie card sold at Gold Auctions online, eclipsing the previous record, which was set in 2016 in the sale of a 1909 Honus Wagner T-206 card for $3.12 million. The Trout card is in mint condition, graded by Beckett Grading Service as a Mint 9 with a certified autograph issue logo on the card attesting to the authenticity of the signature. I had no idea people were paying millions for cards that are 11 years old. Mind boggling bottling. Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Blotto

August 23, 20205 yr Today's chapter from Zen and the Art of Greinke: Of course the usual: But then, having a rough 4th inning, Zack complains about the landing spot, goes into the dugout for a drink and sit as the grounds crew comes out, Padres complain, ump tells Greinke to get back on the field, so he chills and supervises: (The Rangers had also complained about the mound this week. Perhaps worth noting that the Padres broke his collarbone a few years ago.) But the Padres got the last laugh, for now: Edited August 23, 20205 yr by clapclapclap
August 24, 20205 yr Remember when we all thought BP was crazy for ranking Tatis as a better prospect than Vlad Jr?

Shouldn’t count what with all the free money the Fed is printing these days. asterisk attached to this sale. Honus will always be my baseball card champion
August 24, 20205 yr Dodgers on a 44-16 pace halfway through. That probably gets them in the playoffs.

Trout is clearly passing the torch to this dude within the next 3-4 years, right? He’s elite at everything. I saw him turn a double play against the rangers where it seemed like he had no chance to get Kiner-Falefa, but his arm is ridiculous. Edited August 24, 20205 yr by youdunnf'dup
August 24, 20205 yr the young talent coming up in the MLB and NBA portends a new golden age of talent for each sport. it's really an amazing time to be a young-ish sports fan. the next 10-20 years look to be something special.
August 25, 20205 yr these two relays yesterday were awesome: I was watching the Jays game and I thought there was no chance that Wendle was getting thrown out.
August 25, 20205 yr That was a fucking seed from Santana, don’t see that much from 1Bs. Ex-C showing up there.
August 25, 20205 yr 8 minutes ago, Beau Vine said: It seems impossible that the Angels have the worst record in the AL... Especially with the best player in baseball on the roster. It’s a crime that Trout has played in one playoff series in his career.
August 25, 20205 yr random thought(s): i want to see a hitter do something like two 3-HR games in one series or something. that would be cool. is there a place to go to look up stats like that? like "fewest days between 3-HR games" or something like that.

August 26, 20205 yr Brandon Woodruff just got boned out of an immaculate inning in the top of the 1st against the Reds. he made Votto, Castellanos, and Winker look silly.
August 26, 20205 yr The girlfriend is constantly rolling her eyes at the absurd stats they spout or show during games... to which I do my best to find even more stupid or absurd stats glad I have another one to add to the list!
August 26, 20205 yr I was enjoying the Padres broadcast but I'm pretty positive Root Sports was just clowning around on that one. One of the broadcasters likes to joke about his lack of understanding on advanced stats and they served him up one last night.

August 26, 20205 yr M's have the most black players in MLB. I suspect they will also sit out tonight.

August 26, 20205 yr So everytime there is an incident with a cop now teams are going to boycott? Cool...
August 27, 20205 yr That’s cute that some teams are boycotting their games. The Yankees had TWO games today, and didn’t show up for either of them. That’s commitment to a cause.
August 27, 20205 yr Lol Royals, what a shitshow in B9. 4 walk, 1 HBP, a double, and a single that could have been an E blows a 5-2 lead.
August 27, 20205 yr On 8/24/2020 at 9:20 AM, Sbbruin said: Dodgers on a 44-16 pace halfway through. That probably gets them in the playoffs. Still want to see Slam Diego match up with them in a PO series. Can the Padres bats stay hot? Can LA's pitching show up? Also down with Manny Machado taking out Baby Joe at the mound. Mutual destruction would be very satisfy...
August 27, 20205 yr Big time trades so far today Blue Jays got Taijuan Walker from the Mariners Rays got Brett Phillips from the Royals
