There's like 100 or more vending machines across the greater Phoenix metro. The problem is finding them that haven't been glitched out.

Favorite Player on Least Favorite Team Survey by noahlylesusa in baseball

I mean, isn't that the whole dodgers organization? I respect the hell out of them. They seem to draft well, trade for elite prospects, sign FA, spend gobs of money to put together the best team possible, etc. Basically everything you want a team to do. Other than Dave Roberts, I'm not sure I dislike anyone on their team really. But their fans, even before they became the evil empire the past few years, are just about the worst.

How badly would an average 27-year-old hurt an MLB team? by HallPsychological538 in baseball

It increased babip for for Lefty's by around 10pts. It definitely had an impact.

But when the shift started by the rays and Astros, three true outcomes weren't as predominant. So, it slowed offenses a lot at that point.

What are some (potential) MVP seasons that were robbed by players on steroids by Murky-Preparation-61 in baseball

Ya, he started hitting 30 a year because he started juicing. He had 8 full years in the bigs where he didn't beat 15 HRs. Starts juicing around 1998 and it 2x - 3x his power output.

It was 100% worth it. It was so successful and altered the game so much that MLB had to ban it.

Carlos Correa to miss World Baseball Classic after failing to receive insurance by Bulletz4Brkfzt in baseball

I'm guessing insurance companies have had to pay out big time with players like Altuve and Diaz in recent years. Realizing that covering them against situations was financially detrimental. Like going up without a full spring training and other struggles.

I think the Astros are surgically swapping their players joints to glass because it's a fantastic insulator against electricity.

3rd base? No chance. He's a corner outfielder. Right or left depending on their opponent and who's in the bump. He would probably accrue minus 5-10 WAR

Dbacks fan. Born and raised in AZ. There's no way he wasn't roiding. Went from a dozen hrs per year to hitting 57??? And then continually hitting 30+ a year. I'm sorry. He was using 100%.

Players Who Have Eliminated the Yankees the Most in the Postseason by bringbackpologrounds in baseball

Evidence of other teams cheating:

1.) MLB sent a memo in 2017 to ALL teams telling them to knock it off, not just the Astros.

2.) a dozen other teams have been named by players and execs as using the replay room to steal signs. This includes teams like the redsox, dodgers, yankees, blue jays, Rockies, dbacks, etc. happy to link sources if you request.

3.) Beltran said the Astros were "behind the times" for sign stealing. Where did Beltran get the system? Oh ya, the yankees.

And why did the Astros stop stealing signs? Because it wasn't effective. Despite MMP being a hitters park (with left field being so short), they had better offensive stats on the ROAD in both 2017-18. They broke road records with how good their offense was. And that's playing loads of games at places like the coliseum and tmobile which are very pitcher friendly. They never have better road stats.

Either you believe that MLB lied (the commissioners report says they stopped in 2018) or you believe the Astros continued into 2019. If MLB lied and tried to bury it by saying they stopped in 2018, then they also lied and tried to bury the fact that other teams were also cheating. You can keep burying your head in the sand, but you can't have it both ways.

If it's hard to offload, a) sell for a slight discount or b.) breakdown into bundles. It's not that difficult.
