May 6, 20214 yr Story is he was benched last night, and was pissed, because he's 6 for 9 against the Ray's starter. "Source" says Maddon didn't bench him, the order came from higher up. Looks like it all came to a head today. I expect he'll sign with the Cardinals and retire immediately. Pretty shitty of Arte if you ask me, unless Albert asked for this.

May 6, 20214 yr Needs 29 more homers to catch Arod and is 101 rbis behind Babe Ruth. He may just call it quits. Edited May 6, 20214 yr by kevwun
May 6, 20214 yr Just now, kevwun said: Needs roughly 30 more homers to catch Arod and is 100 rbis behind Babe Ruth. He may just call it quits. Someone on twitter said have the Rockies sign him. At Coors Field, he might hit those 30.

May 6, 20214 yr As an Astros fan, I say good riddance. He’s hit 54 lifetime homers against us. And has a slash of .295/.378/.535.
May 6, 20214 yr His cumulative WAR in 10 seasons with the Angels was a little below 13 and he hasn't had a year above 1 since 2016V(1.5)....it was a terrible contract and time.
May 6, 20214 yr As an Astros fan, I say good riddance. He’s hit 54 lifetime homers against us. And has a slash of .295/.378/.535. his hr total is 62 at last count vs Hou iirc
May 10, 20214 yr Seems like a signing the Mets would make to sell merch and take headlines away from the Bronx for a day or two. as a PH. Edited May 10, 20214 yr by Pato del Muerto

May 12, 20214 yr Thought it was hilarious at the time the Angels were paying him all that money for raking with the Cardinals for a decade. One of the worst contracts in sports history and everyone knew it at the time. Meanwhile they are wasting the career of the best player in the game.

They have a sober, healthy version of Mickey Mantle and they’ve struggled to put a good team around him. Trout will turn 30 in August, and he’s never won a playoff game. This is just cruel. They’re also wasting Ohtani. Just a very sad franchise.

May 16, 20214 yr Pujols is not dogshit against lefties, and the one major-leaguer I know absolutely raves about how much Pujols taught him about baseball in one single meeting.

Any "wasted" discussion starts and ends with Nolan Ryan. Nevermind Don Baylor.
