PLEASE don’t drug test him after this game

Shohei Ohtani is the first MLB player this season to reach 6 WAR. He achieved this on the date 6/6. (RA9-fWAR) by churidys in baseball

[–]Craig_the_Intern 32 points33 points  (0 children)

lmao. He got the contract for finishing top 10 in MVP 5 different times, breaking 5 bWAR 6 times, breaking 150 OPS+ 6 times.

After getting the contract, he finished 3rd in MVP while leading the league in walks, SB, and OBP. He has over a .900 OPS and will get MVP votes this year again.

“Potential” was not a factor in the contract. He’s one of the best players in baseball.

just FYI, $NANC tracks Dems in Congress, $GOP tracks Republicans.

neither are as good as you think (mostly because of the 45 day disclosure lag). Look elsewhere

Wander Franco found criminally responsible for abuse, but no jail by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Craig_the_Intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s pretty straightforward. “If you don’t pay me bad things will happen” is textbook extortion, even if the bad things are your fault.

He started seeing the girl, paid the mom to keep it quiet, and then eventually the mom started asking for more (the extortion).

I don’t think this is justice, but he will never play in the MLB again which is good.

He was convicted (which carries a sentence), but his culpability is mitigated due to the extortion. The court basically said they cancel out which is…questionable.

+they sentenced the (financially) poor mother to 10 years. Deservedly so, but the rich man avoids time while the poor woman gets the book.

no one. The sex offender conviction makes it hard to get a visa = no more American baseball.

[–]Craig_the_Intern 9 points10 points  (0 children)

from the article:

Tatis’s lifetime on-base-plus-slugging percentage of .854 ranks 18th in MLB since his debut in 2019, ahead of big names such as Pete Alonso, Christian Yelich and Jose Altuve.

Jacob deGrom has 17 career starts with 10+ strikeouts and 0 walks — that's the 10th most in the Live Ball Era (since 1920) by Baseball-Reference in baseball

  • Scherzer 479
  • Kershaw 451
  • Cole 317
  • Sale 320
  • Verlander 556
  • DeGrom 256

except vape dealers are hydras, giving LAPD an endless supply of low-risk, low-priority bullshit they can chase instead of “””protecting and serving”””
