One or both will eventually end up a Yankee or Met

I like Trout but the constant hype for someone constantly injured and has never won anything

Yeah but we are in the WAR era of baseball now. Doesn’t matter about games played, hits, AB’s, SO’s...
Just if you have a good gWAR, bWAR, fWAR, dWAR, zWAR and a bunch of other numbers that I don’t even know what they mean!

Someone will mortgage the franchise for Shohei.
That contract will be unbelievable!
I think he’ll be around 500 million plus ownership stake.
It’ll be crazy imo.

ok maybe this one then

You know my underrated player is Eddie Matthews.
I think one day we’ll look back and realize that Miguel Cabrera has one hell of a career as well.
I’d have think about overrated??

Yeah Eddie Mathews is a good one. At least they voted him into the Hall of Fame though

Ha yes!

Well, well, well. Andre Lipcius just hit a home run against the Cardinals. Got to smile when Andre does that. He’s now got 3 HR’s in Spring Training games.

I’m missing all the fun unfortunately

Frustrating night

Honestly I’m a little ticked too. We learned base running and bunting situations in little league. It was very frustrating to watch imo. Still think this is a good team but man, nothing gets me more upset than mental mistakes. It shows that you are not focused on your craft.

Physical mistakes happen, but mental mistakes should be rare at this level. This was not a clean game by any means, so hopefully lessons learned earlier in the season rather than late in the season.

Crazy game, tough loss despite my connection. Probably should t have made a big deal about that

Lol it was just a coincidence that you went to that game and it was wild.

Yep, would much rather stupid stuff happen in a midweek game than in conference play.

Actually, we have a history of going to wild games, especially in baseball. We don't go to that many games (so far regular season last and this year: 6 games) but those included:
- today
- the Bama game last year when Dollander got hit in the arm and CTV bumped Macias and was ejected. We sat in the LF bleachers and were very close to Macias, 3rd base ump. Kids learned some new words.
- the Ben Joyce 105 game vs Auburn
- Bonus: The Wright state Gilbert walk off grand slam

That’s some good ones to be at!
