Jerksticks

I’ve never stopped ? I absolutely love batting average.

He looks like Adam Dunn swinging. Scares the shit out of me.

Hell yea. Keep the talkins comin!

Mods, please delete my posts

Stay safe. Maybe go to the hospitals and tell old Harold Baines stories to those in pain.

Yes I think so if he is younger than you and not related to you

What in the caulfield you tryin to say here?

C’mon! That’s a Boylen-level quote

Betts 2021. Close thread.

Church.

I have no problem calling him he-vaughn.

Yes. Anything else just seems silly, reactionary and unprofessional. There’s no data yet. We need data.

Schwarber is going to play for 12 years and total like 16 WAR and somehow always be considered good.

I agree MVP 05 was perfect. Haven’t really played any since. And base wars was sweet. Griffey was fun for SNES

I agree and I hope this is correct. Would make this acquisition the steal of the offseason. Of course his stat history says he’s probably gonna suck but what’s the fun in that. Plenty of decent reasons to think the breakout is here. i spent close to 10 offseasons rationalizing that Beckham & Avi JUST HAD to take a step forward THIS year. I can do it again with Mazara!

By WAR this actually looks like it’s easier for the Rays side of it to rack up the WAR than the Cards. Arozarena and Martinez Dhing looks like an easy 15 WAR, maybe 20 over the next 4-6 years? Thats a bunch of WAR to hope Liberatore ends up accumulating considering how young and far away he is. Plus the Rays just snagged a way better draft pick and pool. They can draft another Liberatore in 5.5 months.

Eh. The population has also increased by anywhere from 125-150 Million people since then, all manufacturing has went overseas, and technology has all but wiped out the need for 10s of millions of middle management positions. But yea, let’s just take the easy answer and dump it on trickle-down economics.

Thank you so much for posting that

Not singling you out at all, you just had the most recent post rehashing the common Rentería complaints. I’m just curious what the bar needs to be set at for anybody to STFU about him. His lineups bothered me, especially with Yonder, and then some of the bunting was brutal- same obvious complaints as most. But he’s calm with the media and seems to have the clubhouse buying into his style, whatever that is. Everyone has to be curious how he’ll do with a good team- the experiment is all set up. So if he’s successful ENOUGH, however each person measures that, some ShuttingTFU will have to be in order.

If Rentería leads them to the playoffs this year will you STFU about Rentaria? if he wins some titles will you STFU? where have you set the bar moving forward?

Cordell sucked

How about Jose Leclerc from TEX? What does Texas still need

I don’t think you really believe that. Every aspect of our lives can be negatively affected by something toxic.

Damn Thomas was sooooooo good. If he would have stayed healthy it would have been a top group of Ruth, Williams, Mays, Thomas, Bonds

Agree with you guys but that seems like such a win now move. I love the idea of all that but with the innings limits for Kopech & Cease are we ready to fire a big bullet for Diaz? Due to the year-to-year volatility of relievers, Diaz included, is this the time to pounce? Diaz had a down year so he’s cheaper than normal. Lot to think about- not sure how to sort it out myself.
