  5. All second-round polls have now been posted. We'll let the currently open polls finish up over the next week and once that's done, we'll have our Elite Eight. Round Three, which will determine our Final Four, will debut on December 17.
  6. I was wondering about that too, about what leagues are what. I just hope that we have a minor league season in 2021. I think we will, since the vaccines are going to start to roll out very soon. But nothing is at all certain, of course.

  9. He's obviously able to get people out, otherwise his ERA would be infinite.
  10. The Phillies were going to retire his number this year, weren't they? Did that get postponed (as with Jerry Koosman) or did they go ahead and do it anyway. Even if he didn't live to see it, at least he knew it was going to happen.
  11. Dick Allen's similarity scores, according to Baseball Reference: Ryan Braun (933.6) Lance Berkman (903.2) Reggie Smith (894.0) Ellis Burks (890.8) Brian Giles (889.9) Nelson Cruz (884.8) Jermaine Dye (880.7) George Foster (880.1) Fred Lynn (875.8) Tim Salmon (875.8)

  14. So the owners want to be compensated for getting something that they want. I wish I could say that this was the craziest thing I've ever heard, but there have probably been a hundred crazier things since Election Day alone.
  15. They really need to resolve this. If the players are holding firm on no DH, then let there be no DH.

  18. Wasn't it just a few years ago that we were being told that the Phillies were going to be dominant super-spenders for years to come?

  21. I thought so too. Shreve didn't seem to be part of the problem.

  23. Looks like a good enough get. I've been to Kelso, Washington. Unfortunately, that doesn't give me much inside information about Trevor May.
  24. This poll is tied at 8 votes each. Anyone care to break the tie?
