  • The best moment I ever had was coaching Little League (asst this time), and my boy had moved up from Farm level to minors, and was just not good.  As in 0 for the season bad.  But he showed up to ever

I especially liked the neighborhood tag up by the runner on 2nd.

It took me a sec to realize why it was a triple play. Holy shit. 

La Russa tossed on the 4th
guess he got tired of waiting around to see the fireworks and decided to go to bed 
Fyi he was tossed in the 10th not the 4th. He got to witness the triple play live and direct

So yesterday was the first time the Yankees had a scheduled off day on July 4th since 1915. Good job MLB.

Good thing America's team won yesterday while the Yankees had a BBQ of dicks

Yeah, they were talking during Sunday's game about how their radio version of kkl had to wear her special vest on the 3rd.

judge had an afternoon to research his new team next season 

Yeah, The Angels are hammered dogshit, but Shohei remains the best player in MLB, and arguably the best pitcher in MLB.  Through 6.2 tonight, he's got 8 K, 0 ER, and 2 RBI at the plate.  Now in the 7th.  He's allowed 2 hits.

i'd say that shane mcclanahan has a firm grip on the best pitcher in baseball, at least for this year so far, but yeah- Shohei is an actual ace on the hill himself. just mind blowing talent.

firm grip eh?

you're just overly proud of him since you fleeced me in that trade

A motherfucker named Nolan Ryan wore that uniform for many years.

 

Judge hit a grand slam tonight. Yankees win a tight one in Pittsburgh, 16-0.

Maybe on the season but over the past few weeks Shohei has been the best. 

Shane has been pretty u touchable the past few weeks as well.

he got 19 called strikes and 18 swinging strikes vs TOR, who has a pretty sick lineup. his four pitch arsenal rivals that of Shohei or anybody else. both guys are able to just pound the zone, and with the insanely different movements of their pitches hitters are just totally screwed. either guy is worth the price of admission.

That coach doesn't even blink. Makes you wonder about what all he's seen.

You sure that’s not me after every Texas football loss since 2000?

Lol what a bunch of horseshit. The Mets are choke artists and have been utterly exposed by every decent team they’ve played, meanwhile the Yankees have the best MLB record against teams >.500. But yeah the Mets have better odds of winning it all

Astros making the WS again would suck. They’d just lose for the 3rd trip in a row, no one wants to see that. Their pitching has over performed way more than the Yankee hitting, mean regression is coming. I don’t see the Astros making it past the Yankees.

@Helobious

season ends today- who gets your vote for AL MVP?

Is that a serious question? 

49 minutes ago, shadow_operative said:

yes, obviously. who would you vote for?

Judge. Not even close. He’s the best player on the best team. It’s cool Ohtani can pitch shutouts against teams like the mariners and orioles and hit homers while his team is down 7 runs, but Judge is carrying a winner on his back on the biggest stage.

If you think the error stat should still exist in baseball, you need to watch that vid. A 20 foot pop up RBI double because “no one touched it”. So stupid.

*Wow, official ruling has been changed to an error. Announcers saying contrary to popular belief you actually can be charged an error even if you don’t touch the ball. It just rarely happens for some reason.

that's what i figured. 

i'm only going to say this to you once, and i sincerely hope you take this into consideration: if you would simply stop with the "not even close" crap which permeates all of your posts, you would not believe how much a better poster you would be, and how much better this thread would be for it.

like right now, i'm not even going to discuss the shohei vs judge thing with you any further (or the fact that Yordan is doing the same thing that Judge is doing), because there's zero point in trying to talk to a person as proudly biased as you. i'd love to have this mvp discussion with plenty of posters in this thread who are capable of having adult conversations and not sensationalizing everything like this is a morning talk show on espn. but everything with you is "not even fucking close or up for debate." the day you stop doing that crap it will improve the day to day quality of this thread immensely, and will improve the way people here see and interact with you. 

Judge, Ohtani, Devers would be my top 3 at midseason. Yordan right behind those 3, but closing the gap fairly quickly. One could make a legit argument for any of those 4. (“Best player on best team” is not a legit argument, though.)

You’re the one that asked me. 
 

And Yordan is not doing what Judge is doing. Judge plays serviceable centerfield defense, Yordan can’t do anything other than swing a bat.

Just based on metrics it's Shohei and Yordan. Judge obviously gets a narrative bump. I just don't think that matters that much when it comes to MVP in baseball. If it was the NBA it would be Judge easily.
