  1. Manfred says there is buzz around the Golden At-Bat rule , I just can't imagine this happening, it's awful https://www.si.com/mlb/rob-manfred-buzz-golden-at-bat-rule-baseballhttps://www.si.com/mlb/rob-manfred-buzz-golden-at-bat-rule-baseball It should be allowed but only if the batter uses his own erection as the bat. And covers it in pine tar first
  2. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 610 9/9: Rarity: 95 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 LAD/DET - Kirk Gibson 27 CLE/DET - Juan Gonzalez 2 300AVG/DET - Charlie Gehringer 2 LAD/HOU - Don Sutton 7 CLE/HOU - Doc Gooden 3 300AVG/HOU - Lance Berkman 5 LAD/200H - Maury Wills 6 CLE/200H - Kenny Lofton 41 300AVG/200H - George Sisler 2
  3. Cubs getting Matthew Boyd (as per sources) for 2 years and $29 million. And unlike Frankie, he was good at baseball last year. So what the hell
  4. =Centerfield post_id=179987 time=1733116062 user_id=65] All kidding aside, hard to make sense of this. Manaea and Severino had upside. They were gambles but their body of work showed some hope. Hard to see the upside here. And he's not cheap so this isn't a β€œnothing to lose” move. And it's not even a one year deal. I know Stearns has earned some benefit of the doubt. And I'll wait to see who else he brings in. But right now I'm getting Adrian Houser flashbacks.
  5. Nice low score today ! ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 608 9/9: Rarity: 9 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 LF/2000H - Al Oliver .6 LF/6WAR - Reggie Jackson .2 LF/30SB - Starling Marte .7 RF/2000H - Harold Baines .6 RF/6WAR - Mickey Mantle 2 RF/30SB - Bobby Bonds 2 MVP/2000H - Keith Hernandez 2 MVP/6WAR - Roy Campanella .5 MVP/30SB - Vlad Guerrero Sr .5
  6. =Centerfield post_id=179839 time=1732739258 user_id=65] And maybe some fans are clouded by Bonilla's second tour of duty in 1999
  7. I got yesterday's puzzle too, not particularly rare on either of them though. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 606 9/9: Rarity: 152 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 CLE/PHL - Julio Franco 2 CF/PHL - Lenny Dykstra 15 PHL/P - Jeurys Familia .3 CLE/NEG - Larry Doby 62 CF/NEG - Willie Mays 51 P/NEG - Don Newcombe 14 SF/CLE - Jeff Kent 4 CF/SF - Matty Alou 2 P/SF - Gaylord Perry 1
  8. Only exceeded 30 starts in a season twice in his career. Lots of money for 23 starts per year.
  9. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 602 9/9: Rarity: 94 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 MIA/C - Charles Johnson 19 MIA/300HR - Mike Piazza 14 MIA/SS - Dan Uggla 5 PIT/C - William Fischer .005 PIT/300HR - Dave Parker 12 PIT/SS - Neil Walker 1 CLE/C - Sandy Alomar Jr 35 CLE/300HR - Juan Gonzalez 1 CLE/SS - Robbie Alomar 7 (William Fischer, who played mostly as a backup catcher on the 1913-1917 Pirates, was the great grandfather of a buddy of mine, which is pretty cool.)

  13. You could be 39 and toast and still get at bats in a Mets lineup. Ask J.D. Martinez

  17. I hope he's got someone willing to hit foul balls off his face at home
  18. Literally one in game action shot of a swing, a pitch, a throw, anything. Pathetic.
  19. Not so rare but I've been biffing these all week so I'll take it. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 593 9/9: Rarity: 113 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 TOR/CWS - Octavio Dotel 1 TOR/KC - David Cone 32 TOR/40HR - Carlos Delgado 16 CLE/CWS - Albert Belle 12 CLE/KC - Juan Gonzalez 3 CLE/40HR - Jim Thome 29 300AVG/CWS - Joe Jackson 12 300AVG/KC - Willie Wilson 6 300AVG/40HR - Rogers Hornsby 1

  22. Steve Phillips gets negative points for violating the vows of his marriage in order to doink a fat Star Wars fan and then get caught with his hands in her "Death Star."
  23. Twenty two is really a blessed number of years to have the same pet. Our Mookie lived to be 19 and at the time we put him down in 2022 my kids, age 17 and 15 at the time, had remarkably grown up their entire lives with the same pet. My wife was crestfallen when we said goodbye. It's the most I ever saw her cry in all the time I have known her (and she cries ALL THE TIME lol)
  24. Announced by SNY on the Insta, Keith had to put his kitty down last week at the ripe old age of 22. God speed, Hadji
  25. Francisco Lindor has won NL Silver Slugger at shortstop and was named a β€œfinalist” for NL MVP, which is to say we already know he'll finish in the Top Three of voting. Another trend I find maddeningly stupid. Stop releasing "finalists" for these awards like they are the Oscars. There's so much masturbatory baseball content and they could be airing Arizona Fall League games on TV instead.
