He coulda been a KC legend but bible-thumping, stick in the mud Dayton Moore took a dislike to his joyous attitude and sent him packing for virtually nothing. Royals outfield is still a mess because of DM's value of piousness over athleticism. Fuck that guy.

I don't know where to go with this but be careful what you wish for.

Oh, I got what I wished for. DM was canned . The reason KC had to settle for the deadline deals they made is because the farm is littered with the good sons and fathers that DM treasured. Nobody else wants those guys.

It's going to take a couple more drafts and deadlines before they get the farm system back in shape. Calling Phillips a potential legend was hyperbole but he would be an improvement over most any of the OF from the last 3 years.

MJ Melendez must be more pious than the fucking pope.

[Beau Vine 55864]

Jackson Holliday with a salami.

[UTexasFight 9818]

I can’t believe that was his first homer… of course I also didn’t realize he’s only had 37 ABs

He has pictures of somebody. He hasn't earned the long leash that he has.

He’s 100% not ready for the big leagues, but tickets must be sold.

Interesting chart ….

 

[Beau Vine 55864]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How does that figure that Tampa traded no one?

 

[Helobious 9818]

Posting a nonsensical chart with no explanation or context is a very putt thing to do

[Beau Vine 55864]

And there's another interference call on an infield fly rule play.   SEA@BOS

This one was more obvious than the others, but that's the third time I've seen it this season, and I can't ever recall seeing it before.

Holy shit, this is bad.  The field is way too big for them.

Games played by Mike Trout, second half:

2021: 0
2022: 40
2023: 1
2024: 0

[Gil Bang 26239]

I think we've seen Trout for the last time.   Pull the plug, and go to HOF on the 1st ballot.

[Derka 6403]

absolute waste of an all time great. as fucked up as it is today, you can tell the story of baseball without mentioning mike trout. essentially zero impact on the game aside from some highlights and good numbers. what a shame.

[Derka 6403]

to say*

[Helobious 9818]

I don’t feel bad for him. He had a chance to go to an organization that was competently run but chose to stay in Anaheim and languish in mediocrity. He spent years needlessly training like he was going to be a middle linebacker and now his body is completely destroyed by it. That barbell sprint video of his that went viral years ago was literally the stupidest training exercise I’ve ever seen a pro athlete do. It sounds like he never fired his trainer.

[Derka 6403]

leave it to a yankees fan from del río to shit all over mike trout.

I've seen his house in Newport.  Being wealthy in So Cal is pretty fucking great.  His motivations are his motivations.    And BTW, how many pro athletes are you training?

Literally everyone made fun of him for the barbell sprint. It’s absurdly dangerous with little benefit, and I can’t imagine what other dumb shit he was doing. The results speak for themselves the past few years, he’s constantly been out with wear & tear injuries.

Pretty much. He knew the Angels weren't serious about winning but guess what, neither is he. Playing for the shitty LA version team, he knew there was zero expectations and could play half seasons constantly, bow out to injury and collect his money. Rinse and repeat every year. He couldn't pull this shit on a legit team in a bigger market. But everyone just blames the front office and he takes a pass for his act every year. Dude has been to one single playoff series (a sweep to the Royals a decade ago) and I think logged one hit? He's on cruise control, just playing when he feels like it.

439’ onto Eutaw Street

Quote

It was the seventh Eutaw homer of the season, the fifth by an Orioles player. Of the 129 total home runs hit to Eutaw Street, only two have been a player’s first career homer, with Holliday joining the Astros’ Robbie Grossman, who achieved the feat exactly 11 years earlier on July 31, 2013.

So you don't have to click on the link:

"Philadelphia Inquirer found dangerous chemicals in the astroturf of the now-demolished Veterans Stadium. Six Phillies who played on that turf, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, David West died of a rare & aggressive brain cancer. Phillies sold pieces of turf in sealed 4 x 4" bags. The Inquirer purchased four of those on eBay. Samples analyzed by two separate labs found 16 types of dangerous chemicals in the turf. They are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down & can last in the human body for years."

ARI@PIT

Snakes start game with Little League HR, HR, HR (Joc out of the stadium), HR (Josh Bell)

And there's an infield single, fans booing.

[Derka 6403]

And then the Pirates come all the way back to take the lead after 6 until Bell does this later in the game

Josh Bell had such a great 3 years at UT.
