2021 MLB Season

[OrangeDW]

My only opinion on Rich Hill was I had a frustrating fantasy baseball season one year where he had a ton of blisters.

Yup. Happened to him a lot when he was in LA.

It truly amazes me that when I was kid I always expected the Yankees to do this to the Red Sox.
Now the Yankees don’t scare me

The roles have completely reversed since the Yankees were up 3-0 in 04.

How so? he will help them but I don't see that move putting them over the top.

Interesting comment from Bloom on Red Sox potential moves. He said that he thinks making a strength stronger may help you more than fixing a weakness. I think that screams Kimbrel as does a few Red Sox media people. I think fixing a weakness would be first base. Since they have tried everyone just short of me. The Sox have a lot of guys that they can't protect from the rule 5 draft this year. Might as well move them rather than lose them that way.

I wasn't being serious, but a very good team just got better.

It is going to be an interesting week. Sale is at the most two starts away from the Sox, so I don't see a starter for them.

The best full season record for winning % in one run games is held by the 2012 Baltimore Orioles.
29-9/.763 winning percentage

The Mariners are currently 28-8/.777

 

[cuseattle]

Welp, the Mariners are actually 23-8 in one run games.
Mea culpa
I told at least 3 people in person too. Smoking too much weed.

This guy is so injury prone it's ridiculous.

It's a shame because if he averaged 30 starts per season, he would probably be headed for the Hall of Fame. He could still get there if he can somehow stay healthy for the next five years.

Oh yeah he's a heck of a pitcher when healthy. It really is unfortunate.

You have to try hard to get numbers like that. Kudos, Nats!

Wonder if that affects the trade deadline. They'll likely have to call 4 guys up for tomorrow. Team has crossed the 85% threshold also.

New kid for the Sox is fun to watch


PS - the official scorer robbed him of the home run, calling it a triple and an error

His contract is going to be an albatross for that franchise.

You could say that for a lot of these 10 year deals. If this surgery finally gets him straight there are five years there and the guy is build like a horse.

Baseball needs to really rethink this stuff - seven year service time before FA seems way too long, and then free agency seems to pay for past success.
