Quin

There were also plenty of people that (wrongfully) thought Ohtani was going to be bad since he didn't focus on hitting or pitching. It was unrealistic to expect him to play like an inner circle Hall of Famer, but there were doubters aplenty.

Yeah, the KCMO voters won that deal. Sales tax goes to pay for a $3 billion stadium ($1b from Chiefs), $300 million facility and $1 billion entertainment district. Chiefs pay $7m rent. They'll pay it off in ~470ish years.

One of my favorite articles is from Grantland and it boils down to "Mark Buehrle is so elite at defense and keeping batters on their toes that he succeeds." The Curious Case of Mark Buehrle

As a big Hall person, I'm fine with Harold because I think he just straddles the line enough that it lowers the floor a bit. There's enough shitty people in the Hall that I don't mind it get diluted. It would also allow for guys that counting stats don't necessarily love, like Buehrle or Joey Votto, to have a stronger shot.

As someone surrounded by Mets family, friends and co-workers, I want the Luis Robert Mets jersey after they failed to re-sign Quintana (who I would have gotten)

The White Sox OF situation after Luis Robert is terrifying, so Baldwin gets it.

Here's mine: DH - Quero (R) C - Teel (L) SS - Montgomery (L) CF - Robert (R) 1B - Murakami (L) LF - Sosa (R) - see if he can manage LF better than Benintendi. 3B - Vargas (R) RF - Baldwin (S) 2B - Meidroth (R) I want the power concentrated in the middle and to get Quero's OBP up top. I think Meidroth is the perfect "second lead off" guy in that he could move Sosa, Vargas and Baldwin over while also getting on base for Quero, Teel and Colson. Benintendi: Banished to the shadow realm.

Surely nothing worse than the US, step-poster?

As the local I'll ask you: would any location be within very, very close walking distance of said train?

You can still easily get to Jets/Giants games via public transit from NYC. Takes me just as long to get to Yankees Stadium or Citi Field. Unless everyone thinks Indiana is gonna dump an astounding amount of capital into public transit, that's not gonna be the case for the Bears.

I really need Mune to be good cause Vaughn broke up the Frank-Paulie-Abreu run of great first basemen.

Lmao

Sox Reddit has it right. Mune Moonshots.
