MLB 2025 Off season

Only Cubs I got were Hamels & Taylor Davis in Topps series 2.

A rookie on nobody's radar (reds cut him and then signed him again), The Punisher ties a few records tonight.
If you get a chance, catch the third HR.  He fucking obliterated that ball.

Don’t sell yourselves short with “do well against.” Straight up kickin our asses this season! 7 HR already? Certainly made himself an introduction!

Not against Bellinger and Yelich...

At this point everyone is playing for 3rd as far as I'm concerned.  He is having a good year though.

Acuña is 7 homers and 12 stolen bases away from the 5th 40-40 season in MLB history. If he could maintain his pace after the all-star break, he would be a couple of stolen bases away from a 50-50 season.

If he does the 50-50 thing he will forever be remembered.

40-40 is nothing to slouch at too.  I thought Tatis might have a shot at that.

Canseco, A-rod, Bonds and Soriano.All 4 should be in the HOF.  That is pretty good company right there.

markymark550

Yeah, very good company. I hope he gets the 40-40, but as the season winds down I suspect he will see fewer and fewer pitches that he can drive. With the tear he's been on this month, I really don't see why pitchers would give him anything good at all. Granted, Albies and Freeman are hot as well, so I guess it's pick your poison until they cool off.

Somehow Davis didn't get to 40-40.  My second all time favorite (not that I think he was the best, just loved to watch him do his thing in the 80s)

Good list of baseball athletes, terrible list of human beings. Also, is the only one on the list not linked to steroids Soriano or was he a usual suspect as well? Seems he became quite injury prone.

markymark550

I don't think Soriano was linked to steroids. He wasn't listed in the Mitchell Report and never failed a drug test. I know that doesn't prove he was clean, just that there's no evidence that he did use steroids. Personally, I don't think he used them.

I never cared for Davis.  I do remember when this happened though.  Ray Knight and those Mets were some bad dudes!

Carlos 2 nights in a row with a game winning dinger.

I remember feeling trepidation when they let Santana go last time.  I felt like he was a glue in the lockerroom and it always seemed like when they couldn't find a big hit from Lindor, Napoli, Kipnis, Chisenhall, etc, he would deliver it.

Now, with that said, when they traded for him this offseason, I didnt imagine he would have a career season.

He's our guy.  I hope he's with the club in some capacity forever.  Hell,  let him take Sandy's job at first when he's ready to retire.  It feels like it's been a 25 year string of Sandy to Carlos.
