Memories of Génesis

[Edgy MD]

You play fast and loose, swapping out MLB relievers, and you are bound to lose a few, and that is just what has happened, as Génesis Cabrera declined his assignment to Syracuse and was signed by the Cublicans in the very next breath.

That picture above in a terrible hat is him against the Yankees after heroically struck out Aaron Judge with the bases loaded and the — oopsie-daisy! — gave up a two-out grand slam to Cody Bellinger.

I remember seeing Genesis and thinking this is the beginning of something good.

The book was better than the movies.

Later

I've found his successor!

He's a right-hander, not a lefty, and is still in the Twins minor league system. But the Mets need to swing a trade for him pronto.

you have to read his middle name to complete the joke

I feel like when this cat came up with the Cardinals he was going to be a stud and not a DFA shuttle guy.



Cool name, one of a kind, number wise.

[Edgy MD]

He threw really hard, especially for a lefty. His real bugbear had been control though most of his career, but he was mostly on top of that with the Mets.



If LOOGys were still legal, he'd be appearing in over 100 games per season for somebody, but did not like throwing strikes to righthanded batters.

[G-Fafif]

He seemed to have an invisible touch.
