MLB 2024 Off Season

Corey Seager is out for the season.  That is a damn shame...  TJ surgery.

I think the bat flip is different than the other two (stealing/bunting) -- I am OK with it, within reason, but it is about showing your ass and making a spectacle of yourself.  Stealing and Bunting is about trying to compete.
Perez has been criticized for being an ass when younger -- kinda surprised he made a stink about this.

We most likely only heard part of the story.  There is so much crap that goes on in a game that you wouldn't realize something irked him?

Yeah isn't Salvador the one that kept mouthing off and causing the Royals' & opposing team's benches to clear several times at the beginning of the 2016 season?

I'm ok with the bat flip.  Given that it is just that, a flip of the bat.  That shit Jose Bautista pulled in the playoffs a couple years back was a violent throwing of the bat, not a flip. That has no place in the game.

I loathe Joey Bats, but that was as awesome of a hit as I can remember.  After the top of that inning, that hit.  The reaction was perfect

See I liked that.  That bat flip was awesome, lol.

Not a fan of goggles for celebrating but it makes absolute sense, lol.

Could've hit someone with that bat throw. Not a perfect reaction at all.

Who the hell was he going to hit with the bat?  He threw it to the ondeck circle and actually looked before he threw it.  But hey you don't like it then you don't like it...

Like I said, I'm fine with bat FLIPS.  I'm not fine with THROWING a fucking bat through the air.

Tyson Ross is smoking the Giants. Nice stats for my fantasy team. And another homer from AJ Pollock is always welcome

I remember they talked that up during the NFL playoffs -- perhaps a few years back?  Pretty cool.

Bonds and Brady went to the same HS. one is the GOAT; the other is a successful system quarterback.

Should he be suspended/fined for punching a player?

Ichiro retires and takes a front office job at the Seattle Mariners office.  that's cool. 

Pujols 2 hits away from 3,000 hits and 600 homers.  Like 5th or 6th player to accomplish that

Wobbie

actually, the 4th.

and the second to do it with “help”

barry bonds 10x>poo holes.

Pujols 2 rings.  Bonds 0 rings.  I watched Bonds almost single handedly defeat my Angels in the WS...

But I still agree with Bonds being the best player I have EVER saw play and AROD was second.

So, modern day baseball.

Albies and Acuna in Atlanta?

The upcoming of the WHOLE Toronto farm team?

Anybody watching?

A's Farm teams too?  Austin Beck, AJ Puck and Kevin Merrell.  Anybody know these names?

Well, maybe Erstad... But I never mentioned "juicing" even though the thread started off like that...
