2019 MLB Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 1044

Baseball is just so great

 

low-hanging fruit is low-hanging

 

Maybe too many of Judge's prayers are being answered and they can only answer so many baseball ones lol

 

Dansby has been so locked in. Is this the year he finally looks like that #1 overall pick?

 

Somehow this is the Tribe’s best start under Francona and best since 2011 overall

 

The combination of Castillo and Alvarado back-to-back closing games for the the Rays is filthy.

 

Bored so checkin out some early fWAR entering today:

Trout 1.0
deGrom 1.0
Bellinger 0.9
Harper 0.7
JD Martinez 0.5

Buzz Arlett | Society for American Baseball Research

Many a night, when I should've been doing my homework, I spent valuable time "studying" the encyclopedia of baseball. I especially became fascinated with obscure players having brief careers. I didn't get far into the alphabet before coming across Buzz Arlett; how could someone with seemingly good numbers play only one season in the bigs? The reasons haunted me long enough to decide I had to know the story; here's the story.

Really fun read about the best minor leaguer ever

the way he finishes it with SANTA MARIA is amazing

 

i have to remind myself that the players themselves are fun even if ownership is abhorrent

 

Jameson Taillon just got domed


also jon lester is good

 

Wyd Pirates

 

Zero earned?

 

What should’ve been the 3rd out of the inning ended up as an error by Kevin Newman, then all hell broke loose with the Cubs mashing the ball all over, including Jon Lester doubling in a run after Heyward was IBB’d to get to Lester. Rizzo hit a ball off Taillon’s head. Then Kevin Newman made two errors on one play to keep the inning going further...

Just a bad inning for the Bucs

 

Are they supposed to be good?
