That would’ve crossed the line from “annoying/kind of funny” to straight up cyber bullying. I wouldn’t have posted the entire month.

That’s truly awesome. 

The handling of the Marlins/Mets game was fucking stupid

Kapler out in SF. 

 

At Yankees/Royals game. Rodon with an impressive showing.

Didn't get an out. 5 runs....bases still loaded.

$27M/yr thru 2028. Add in Stanton and that’s $55M/ yr for the next 4 seasons. Those kids better pan out or Helo going to be sporting the Yankees Suck avatar for quite a while.

At least go with landscape orientation. 

AL

1: Baltimore (clinched)

2: Texas with a rangers win or Astros loss

or Houston with an Astros win and Rangers loss

3: Minnesota (clinched)

4: Tampa (clinched)

5: Toronto with a Blue Jays win or Astros loss

or Houston with an Astros win, Rangers win and Blue Jays loss

or Texas with Rangers loss and Astros win

6: Houston with Rangers win and Astros and Blue Jays win or Rangers win and Astros and Blue Jays loss or Rangers and Astros loss

or

Blue Jays with Rangers win, Astros win and Blue Jays loss

 

NL

1: Braves (clinched)

2: Dodgers (clinched)

3: Brewers (clinched)

4: Phillies (clinched)

5 and 6: Miami or Arizona. Not getting in to that one thanks to the Marlins suspended game

Don’t forget the Yankees clinching their 31st straight winning season last night 

Matt Duffy in the lineup as DH for the Royals.  I was hoping KC would have used the Ohtani Rule to let Greinke have one last game as a batter.

Assuming he had Glioblastoma, shit is nasty and moves quick. By the time you start having symptoms and realize something may be wrong it's already too late.

He was one of my favorites during that Sox run. Could not make it as an infielder, so learns to toss the Knuckle.

Picked up his 2nd win of the season though.  If this is it, he finishes with 225 Ws and 2979 Ks.

Freddie went 0 for 4 today and finished with 59 doubles.  Still no 60 double season since 1936.

 

He should keep throwing them.

In the history of baseball (which is a pretty long time), there has been 1 team to slug .500 for a full season. Your 2023 Atlanta Braves, with the most impressive offensive season in history.

He really doesn’t need another pitch.  He’s got plenty good stuff, already …

Very similar to the 2019 Astros lineup of hate that steamrolled the regular season.

Hope it works out for you the same it did for us.

Not really.  The ball was juiced in 2019 and the MLB-wide slugging was .435.  The Astros led at .495 but the Twins and Yankees were at .494 and .490.

This year MLB-wide slugging was .414.  Atlanta led at .501 and the Dodgers were second at .455.

I was just saying all-time great offensive regular season means jack shit when it comes to winning the World Series.  It helps, but is no guarantee.

Granted, the Braves also have elite pitching so there is a legit reason they are far and away the top pick to take it all.  Kind of like the 2019 Astros were.  Again, hope it works out for them the same it did for us.

Super clever. Does it make you feel better? Does it change the fact that you guys are not going to win the AL West?

@TonyTexas should have gone double or nothing on that avatar bet after this 

Holy crap, this picture was taken in 1992 at the SF Giants' last home game of the season.  At the time they had agreed to move the franchise to Tampa.

Most here are familiar with the Veeck name & the St. Paul Saints. I ain’t spoilering shit, but this is worth 90 minutes of your time. 

The Saint of Second Chances on Netflix. 

Watch it. 

It’s been on my to-dos

thanks for the reminder 

Baseball movies is all we have for the next 2 days.

This is the 2nd time all 4 WC series went 2 and out.  Sucks for us.

Should’ve kept it as a do or die one game thing.

Have heard that brought up multiple times on sportstalk today, but that favors the weaker team, IMHO.  I like it that there were at least a couple of upsets this year, and it wasn't just one game flukers.
