Sosa can't be a legit 1B without a 775-825 ops. That's just not him, statistically.

A lot more at stake with massive contracts and insurance/risk mitigation. Once upon a time 60-65% of the players had off season jobs.

JUan SotO?

Bases loaded no outs you just don't escape that against the Dodgers on the road.

As soon as TaYlor came out of the game the result was practically guaranteed.

Completely predictable...

Of course Ohtani steals when he absutelyhas to.

He had 50+ steals last year. Sosa not a good defender...never has been.

Wilson just not a strikeout pitcher...

Should have left Taylor in...

Every team in baseball would have to consider due to the marketing possibilities as well as $46 million present day value of $70 million per year.

86.5 curveball not far off from high end slider a decade ago...

Trapezius??? That's a rare one for BB.

Burke with two unbelievable innings at that high pitch count.

Worked for Amaya. Best hitter in the minors lol.

Betts' entire season decimated by health and injuries...

Baldwin in for Taylor now makes very little sense...

The funny thing is that the WNBA and MLB are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum here and yet neither sport can figure out a way to appeal to the mainstream like NFL and the NBA have managed...to thread the needle and find the reasonable center.

Still having flashbacks to 2017 RH Moncada? Eight years ago now feels like decades. Or the Kopech TJ injury in the rain.

Well we have seen enough openers this year with Venable to know they only go 1-2 innings. Maybe Gilbert or Shuster went the longest as former starters.

Don't get started on the Prosperity Gospel/s, lol.

It's simply his way of disagreeing with Pride Night without getting suspended. The thing is...baseball itself is still quite homophobic and it's largely a sport dominated by a number of conservative Gen X and Baby Boomers on both the fan and administration side.

You'll just get shouted at, lol.

"Kershaw's choice to display this Genesis biblical reference sparked various reactions, as it was seen as a reminder of his Christian beliefs and the traditional interpretation of the rainbow's significance. While some fans supported his message, others criticized it, arguing that it conflicted with the spirit of Pride Night, which celebrates LGBTQ+ rights and diversity. This action reflects Kershaw's firm religious convictions and his desire to express his faith publicly, even in contexts that may be controversial." Probably the most oblique and politically correct response to escape direct criticism in California....

Crazy Slater with four homers against Kershaw...granted lots of time in SF. Was longest tenured Giant before 2025.
