2021 MLB Season

[Capt. Tuttle]

They need to shorten games who has 4 hours a night to devote to a game? These 7 inning games are starting to grow on me.

One of the great things about soccer, the time. Under 2 hours (absent big games with OT, but even that is max 1/2 hour, then PKs), no timeouts (team or tv).

Brandon Belt isn't getting paid to hit singles the other way.

Want to even it out have lefties run to 3rd base on a hit

Brandon Belt isn't getting paid to hit singles the other way.

Want to even it out have lefties run to 3rd base on a hit

What is he getting paid for exactly?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

It’s all about base runners. “Do we care if they get a hit or walk”? “We do not”!

Very strange, the sticky baseballs aren’t impacting Vladdy’s season.

Sack up Blackmon

I’m convinced that younger people only care about dogs and craft beer anyway. They don’t actually watch sports.

We went to a couple of craft beer places in the Catskills that we had visited pre-pandemic. Now, they were over run with Hipster Duffuses, complete with some combination of vests, beards, crocs and porkpie hats, along with dogs. The owners’ cat was the coolest animal at one of them. Jumped up and sat on a Harley for a while.

The way they all dress the exact same and have beards and dogs is very noticeable to me too.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Well, collectively they are all individual.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

OK, Boomer.

What does age (technically, a proud Boomer II) have to do with an accurate and, if I do say so myself, astute observation.

It’s funny how some people of a certain age resort to pejorative name calling when they have no factual counterpoint or any enlightening contribution.

Shows a general lack of intelligence and earnestness.

Clark always had something to say about other players. Probably not much to say about why he seemed to get injured so much (didn't look like he was a regular visitor to the weight room) or his thoughts on the value of first basemen who hit 15-20 HRs.

 

[Bayside44]

Push 20 homers and get some rbis. And looking at his stats yikes he’s been perfectly generic for a decade.

You just described Brandon Belt perfectly also.

Admittedly, I don't know much about Belt. Is he a douchey loudmouth?

Is that why you called them dufuses?

Not that I know of, but a ton of injury issues over the years.

SF Giants superstars are almost always complete douches. From Clark to Bonds to Kent to Bumgarner.

Kevin Mitchell and Jack Clark (although not really a superstar) come to mind as well

You know what I just realized and it's kind of Sad? We are never going to see another Tony Gwynn type player in baseball.

Big part of it's domestic TV popularity increasing this century.

MLB crackdown on illegal substances will include 10-game suspensions for violators starting June 21

Every substance is being punished the same, whether it's Spider Tack or pine tar

Glasnow blames MLB crackdown for UCL injury

Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament and a flexor tendon strain, and he's blaming the timing of MLB's crackdown on foreign substances for his injury.

So he’s admitting he’s been cheating?

There are some tough choices this year. I could have gone three different ways at third base in the American League, also in the American League outfield.

Oh yeah I meant fill mine out and post it. I will do that tonight. Just glancing at yours quickly, I know we agree on Acuna, Perez, Posey, Castellanos, Xander, Semien, Tatis Jr and Vlad Jr. I will have to review the stats on the others but they look good. I tend to lose track a bit on some of the guys if they aren't on one of my fantasy teams.
