Wouldn't he only need 3 to break the AL record? And nobody with higher than 62 HRs is in the HoF and probably won't be anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 9 hours ago, greg775 said: I think you need to seek a second opinion. My post didn't go into politics at all. It's an interesting topic though. Can a ballplayer take off to attend a friend's funeral when asked by the wife to attend? The Cubs have already clinched the wildcard and this is life and death in the year 2025. A friend of the player died and he went to the funeral rather than play in the Sunday game. One could take the Cub at his word that he attended for his friend and friend's wife, not for political gain. I didn't offer my opinion because then I'd be breaking board rules getting political. Most of the 'fights' on this board are people disagreeing with opinions different from their own. My momma used to tell me the world would be a dull place if everybody agreed with each other all the time. ... Now if other posts in the past are any indication you will blast me and get in the last word cause I know better than to push it and get put on vacation again and this will be my last comment on the matter. Look dude, we aren't stupid, and we all know you aren't either. Don't insult me by pretending I am too dumb to see through this BS. Despite getting a whole other post out on this topic, the next time you pull this stunt, you will be launched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero doubt he is the MVP. Will he win it????? Maybe. If the other option was not a Yankee and specifically Judge there would be no question. I am not certain how many games he has actually caught but if it was over 50% of them than he has put up one of the greatest season in baseball history in my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure at least 120 or so...hasn't missed many games overall, so huge debate whether to play for 1/2 seed vs. resting him from here on out. Then there's the implications for his personal HR chases as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 3 games left. Magic numbers to eliminate the Astros and clinch a playoff berth- Red Sox -1 Guardians- 2 Tigers- 2 Astros in Anaheim. Tigers at Boston. Cle hosts Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrockway Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I think this Tatis grand slam seals the deal on The DBacks season. Reds and Mets going down to the wire, Mets are facing an easier team. I wonder what kind of deal Zac Gallen gets this offseason. ERA up to nearly 5. Wasn't that long ago he led the NL in WHIP and posted a 2.5 ERA. His trajectory is kinda Cease-esque, good one year bad the next. Both will be interesting UFA's. Both are traditionally healthy. I wonder if they sign 1 year deals.

I'm sure all 3 of their fans are sorely disappointed. 7 minutes ago, chw42 said: Tigers and Guardians only need to win 1 more game to knock the Astros out. They no longer control their own destiny. I think this is the preferred outcome. I thought it would've been funny if the Red Sox fell out, but it'll be great to watch Crochet in the postseason.

Timmy U Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Nice to see the Astros struggle. Tigers and AL Central really came back to Earth this year. Imagine these teams records if they didn’t get to hammer the Sox. Cleveland is like 20 games over .500 against bad teams. I suspect their postseason will be brief.

flavum Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 There will be no games on Sunday that mean anything if the following happens today: Cle, Tor, Cin win Det, Hou, NYY, NYM, Phi lose and Cubs win or Padres lose Won’t happen, but it’s a small possibility.
