Baseball players in general just don't seem that popular outside of the sport. In the past 30 years, the list of mainstream dudes seems very small to me with Griffey, McGwire, Jeter and A-Rod. I could probably make an argument to include Sosa, Bonds, Clemens and Schilling in that list but 2 of those are almost certainly due to huge cheating scandals accompanying their generational talent and one for being a loud racist in a time when loud racists get noticed e: I'd probably throw Ichiro on there too because he was basically awesome as gently caress from his first day in MLB coming over from Japan and having a cool name Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Mar 4, 2021 |

bawfuls posted:I agree with the thrust of your post in defense of Trout's decision, but lets not get carried away here. Angels stadium is perfectly adequate but falls far short of "gorgeous". If he wanted that piece of the puzzle, along with a real contender, he should have held out to migrate up the 5. I don't really have any strong feelings against the Dodgers but man the thought of Trout winning a pile of rings wearing Dodger blue is some real sad feeling poo poo Guess it's better than him in pinstripes at least mcmagic posted:MLB.tv isn't on PS5 lol.

Maddon said the Angels were already over the 85% threshold so I'd expect other teams to be held accountable if they are having to force postponements due to this poo poo a year after it began honestly.

R.D. Mangles posted:the white sox brought up a 28 year-old rectangular shaped rookie catcher last night and he became the first player in MLB history to go 5 for 5 in his debut I'm honestly disappointed we didn't get to see him hit a homer last night, during his first at bat the Angels broadcast showed a clip of him playing in another league and he pimps the hell out of them. The booth was having a good time with it and saying how they all enjoy when hitters bat flip and admire home runs which made me happy to hear.

howe_sam posted:https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1378431451490709506 Unfortunate, I thought he was pretty good when the Angels first got him. Definitely one of the better bullpen options they had then it seemed like he was just used a ton and never really recovered from a few bad outings. I hope he finds some peace though and if leaving helps with that, so be it.

Oakland Coliseum literally leaks sewage and poo poo onto the field and in the dugouts yet somehow the Trop still manages to be worse, it's impressive honestly

The Luis Robert and Jo Adell comparisons from a couple of years ago are alive and well https://mobile.twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1378530684868812800 Shohei Ohtani is the scheduled starting pitcher for tomorrow's game. Shohei Ohtani is also the scheduled DH for tomorrow's game.

In case you missed it, Ohtani was throwing triple digit heat and then mashed the first pitch he saw 450 feet. Baseball.

mcmagic posted:Not getting Othani really hosed over the Yankees so badly because not only get they not get him, they then went out and did that awful Stanton trade. I had a friend who is a Cards fan lamenting to me over the weekend how some big names have decided to not play for STL in recent years and one of the names he brought up was Stanton not waiving his trade clause to go there I thought that was really funny

Yeah for sure, I don't disagree. But if Castellanos didn't flex all over them then it would have never happened is likely the dumb way MLB is looking at it

I think the biggest thing going against Judge is that the Yankees have that other guy who is very similar to Judge and they're already going to be paying through the teeth for him. The Stanton deal has gotta be a huge red flag for giving Judge a big contract

Arte can fire him whenever he wants, he just doesn't want to pay his contract after he does so the investigation must go on
