So it sounds like the sale of the Marlins is down to two groups, Derek Jeter vs Mitt Romneys son. I fully expect Tagg Romney to be the new face of the Marlins, nothing says fun like a Romney.

STAC Goat posted:As a fellow lifelong baseball fan and lover of pitching, who has spent his entire life listening to retired pitchers talk and watching current pitchers act I'm pretty sure its always been the case that pitchers are hypocritical self righteous assholes who think you should never watch a 450 ft home run to see if it leaves the stadium but think its totally ok to but a 95 MPH fastball under a batter's chin if he offends you. I've got an old book of sports quotes and Early Wynn said if these young whippersnappers of [whatever current time that was] showboated against him, he'd hit them with a pitch in the dugout. Somebody else said that Freddie Fitzsimmons got him with a brushback pitch in the on deck circle. And, of course, Juan Marichal, which built because Marichal was insulted by a base hit bunt.

I will also take this time to point out that until this happens the Cardinals have the best Star Wars credentials, as Postseason Legend David Eckstein is married to the actress who voices Ahsoka Tano, whoever that is, in the Star Wars animated series.

Speaking of unwritten rules, apparently a lot of people are upset that Jarrod Dyson bunted successfully to bust up Justin Verlander's perfect game!

Which is super dumb because Verlander himself said he had no problems with it: quote:“It was a perfect bunt,” Verlander said, via MLB.com. “That’s part of his game. I don’t think it was quite too late, given the situation, to bunt, especially being as how that’s a major part of what he does. I really didn’t have any issues with it. It’s not like I got upset about it.”

Sydin posted:Which is super dumb because Verlander himself said he had no problems with it: That was also just a perfect push bunt, if Dyson was able to do that 1/3 of the time he tried he would never do anything else until the 2nd baseman was lining up on the infield grass against him. Like, as bunt hits go that wasn't a cheap one is my point I guess.

You could go 2-5 with a home run and a single every game of an entire season and your OPS would still be lower than Barry Bonds' was in 2004, the season where he turned 40. Although my favorite Barry Bonds fact ever is there has only been one pitcher in history who faced Bonds 6 or more times and didn't let him reach base. That pitcher, Geremi Gonzalez, died by being struck by lightning.

That kid  Stupid feel good story of the year Yankees Pancakes posted:If Schwarber did a Tusken Raider yell instead of a bat flip I might be able to get over my extreme prejudice against beefy individuals.  For those who don't follow Star Wars beyond the films, she's Anakin Skywalker's former Padawan and maybe the most prominent non-film post-original trilogy character in the SW Universe at this point. That was a pretty awesome opportunity Ashley picked up and she and David are pretty huge nerds (she has a line of SW inspired clothes and I think she designed David's wrestling costumes). Could David do anything more to endear nerd baseball fans to him?

Views: it's time for the Mets to move on from Collins/Alderson/Warthen/Ramirez already, sweet Jiminy Christmas Doesn't solve the other problem of the Wilpons still owning the Mets though.

If you ever wondered if a team could get hot at the wrong time, consider today's news that the Royals are not looking to be sellers until they "collapse completely."

To be fair this happens everywhere when they announce a pride night. Even the Seattle twitter had some hot takes when they announced pride night (which was last night). https://twitter.com/Mariners/status/873662569717936128 The internet is a bad, bad place for hot takes about social issues that largely don't affect others.
