The virgin Tatis needing surgery to fix his dislocated shoulder vs the CHAD Bellinger just popping that poo poo back in and returning to the lineup next day. I know whose team is winning the division. :v:

This sucks major rear end, feels like Tatis has constantly hampered by injuries and just wanna see the kid rake.
Bellinger also had surgery right after the World Series ended. It delayed the start of his spring but not significantly. The way doctors are talking about Tatis it sounds like he's got more damage because they are projecting a longer recovery time.

Odor hit 30 homeruns in 2019 and still only had a .721 OPS, he really sells out for homers.

If Tatis gets surgery now he'll have 22 months to heal and rehab I think that's a good plan

drat, Tatis owns and I want to see him mash, even against my team.

Best thing to do is get the surgery now and hope for no lasting effects. Tatis is still young, he can recover.

Zack Greinke I think for me is one of the most interesting pitchers out there.

I mean there’s the quotes and Greinke stories, of course, but he threw in the mid-90s in his youth but has now adapted completely to loss of velocity and just lives in the 80s. And gets it done, throwing in the 80s.

Avoiding peoples’ power, working on getting popups and grounders. Talk about a survivor, a crafty veteran.

Then there’s the occasional 60 mph eephus pitch.

This is funny as Hell, but even just thinking about it again makes me roll my eyes at what giant babies the Rangers were about it.

Waiting until the 8th inning of their final game against each other that year to plunk Jose in Bautista's 33rd plate appearance against them? Using a rookie to do it no less - MATT FUCKIN BUSH's 2nd career appearance.

Basically, I'm saying unwritten rules are dumb and the DH is cool and good.

Fangraphs has it

Greinke is 19th if you go from 2017 to 2021

Which would be good for third in his current team's rotation if Verlander were pitching (McCullers is just a teeny bit ahead of Greinke)

Sale is kinda nutty
