    lol

    everyone is playing for 2nd
    Dodgers won 111 games 3 years ago and won exactly one playoff game. It’s baseball, anything can happen.

    They are a lock to make playoffs, but it’s not like basketball where the best team always wins. 

    Also, their entire rotation don’t have the best track record of health. 
    Right…buuuttt…

    they pretty much cruised to the championship and have added by way of acquisition or health 

    Othani pitching
    this new Japanese kid
    glasnow
    snell
    Tanner Scott 

    A lot of things can go wrong and they are still better than last year.

    They were down 0-2 in the opening round of the playoffs and needed to win 3 straight to advance.

    this is from the comments section of MLB Trade Rumors, so I can’t 100% vouch for its accuracy, but…..

    d**gers media deal pays them $3.5B while the yankees deal is for $85M? if true, MLB is the true villian here for allowing this kind of disparity.

    they share media rights in the NFL.

    This year's Hall of Fame class: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner.

    Ichiro was 1 vote shy of a unanimous selection. Who was the lone dissenter and what reasoning was used to not vote for him?
  • WobbieWobbie Posts: 30,613
    I didn’t realize wagner was dominant until the end. injuries were mounting up and he walked away. well deserved induction.

    I think this statistic is accurate (someone can fact check): Billy Wagner holds the highest strikeout percentage of batters faced in the history of Major League Baseball.

    Ichiro was so much fun to watch.  Loved those first few years, how much we all were stunned at how good dude was, all around. 
    Stepped in and dominated.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    ALSO: Billy Wagner ended his career 5 strikeouts short of having a 2:1 ratio of strikeouts to hits allowed. 

    Incredible.

    His baseball reference page is wild.  242 hits as a rookie!  10 years straight over 200 hits and BA over .300 to start his MLB career!  Would probably have broken Pete Rose's record if he came over here when he was 20 instead of 26.  There's always 1 crusty old asshole baseball writer who won't make it unanimous.

    Yeah, I just don't get what justification someone can come up with for not voting for him. It has to be some petty bs, which imo, should strip them of their vote from now on.

    I never understood anybody's aversion to making someone a first ball hall of famer. It's actually hard to believe it was more of a thing years ago from 1937 through 1961 nobody got in on the first ballot and that includes people like Joe DiMaggio.

    Ichiro was so much fun to watch.  Loved those first few years, how much we all were stunned at how good dude was, all around. 
    Stepped in and dominated.

    Thought there was a chance he might get 100%^ of the vote. I think he got like 99.7

    There was 1 asshole who didn't vote for Ichiro. 
    Yeah, I just don't get what justification someone can come up with for not voting for him. It has to be some petty bs, which imo, should strip them of their vote from now on.
    Are they looking for their " 5 minutes of fame?"
    Do they want to feel "important " for a few minutes? 

    I never understood anybody's aversion to making someone a first ball hall of famer. It's actually hard to believe it was more of a thing years ago from 1937 through 1961 nobody got in on the first ballot and that includes people like Joe DiMaggio.
    Willie Mays didn't get 100% of the vote?

    Amazingly 94 percent: https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/hof_1979.shtml
    And the only guy to get 100% is a reliever? 
    “East Coast Bias”
    Yankees bias.  well also the baseball writers are assholes.
