I don't think anyone said that? I get wanting to feel vindicated but no one was saying Julio peaked at 22 years old.

It was a rough first half of the year. Kudos to him for adjusting to how pitchers were pitching to him and kicking rear end lately.

I was going through some old baseball cards recently and learning about rookie of the year award winners I had never heard of and looking up their stats. Then I looked at Julio and decided to immediately sell all of his cards lmao.

Related: Miguel Andujar (RoY runner up behind Shohei) just failed to reach base again for the Pirates.

Julio's contract was a mistake. The Mariners should offload him to the Cubs but pay for half of it.

They will only do that if Morel goes the other way. Probably one of the nerd pitchers too.

The Julio contract will go down at the worst in MLB history.

On a completely unrelated note I find it hilarious that the Mariners poster kept receipts of the three people who said something even slightly negative about Julio in May. This is not the got 'em take you think it is!

I guess 7 years is better than 13 or whatever but Dansby even at his best is still a worse hitter than Contreas, who we lost. This team is still worse than it was last year when they miraculously got hot down the stretch and swept a bunch of eventual playoff teams to win 74.

This one is particularly funny because today is win 74 for the Cubs :v:

Ohtani hurt himself in BP today and got scratched from the lineup with oblique tightness. Is there any world where he doesn't injure himself worse hitting through an injury in this god awful season despite having the MVP wrapped up?

Yainer Diaz has had a fantastic rookie campaign and he's maybe gonna finish 5th.

I've mostly been watching MLB for Ohtani but he got me into watching some other players as well. The whole situation kinda sucks. From what I gather he just wants to pitch and hit his best, and the Angels want to keep him as long as possible, so they'll let him do whatever he wants, even if it means he potentially injures himself.

That BP looked real bad though and I hope someone knocks some sense into him and he realizes being healthy is better for him in the long run if he wants to play ball. He doesn't seem to care about the money.

I wish he had been healthy for free agency and got some crazy contract, but now who knows..

I bought a bunch of his baseball cards, but I couldn't care less about the value, I just wanna see the guy play again :(
