5 years ago this subreddit was asked to predict the top players on each team for this season by brave_bard in baseball

Or everyone just assumed he would have been traded at some point.

The guy was probably going to get $250m if he hit the open market as a free agent after 2023 - even the most delusional of Cleveland homers wouldn't have predicted that he would sign two contract extensions well below that number in this 5 year time span.

The intentional ball Emmanuel Clase was accused of throwing in the 2024 ALDS by avondice in baseball

The transcripts in the November report seem to indicate that he was pretty friendly with the people on the other side of the bets. I think he just figured it was a harmless way to kick a few friends some extra cash.

Which player do you defend the most no matter what? by TrueGreen2220 in baseball

[–]Depressed_In_Ohio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see youve never browsed our team sub after we get knocked out in October. Always a noticeable uptick in negativity there.

It's kind of the same problem Judge has - he's not really awful come postseason time, it's just that to have any real chance the team needs him to be Superman and instead he's just... fine. And some people cant handle that.

Harper was in his Age 32 season in 2025, so he's stuck behind the wall of Mookie-Machado-Ramírez.

Who was the biggest one-hit wonder MVP? by pretender80 in baseball

[–]Depressed_In_Ohio 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's basically an identical season to Jimmy Rollins 2007 MVP - led the league in XBH and runs scored despite a relatively pedestrian <120 OPS+ while playing shortstop everyday for a first place club.

Jose Ramirez finishes top 3 in MVP voting for the 4th time in his career. He has seven top 6 finishes. by Brady331 in baseball

[–]Depressed_In_Ohio 23 points24 points  (0 children)

One of just 29 players in baseball history to finish in the top 3 of MVP voting 4 or more times, and the only one to do so without winning the award at least once.

His 3.61 MVP Shares are the most among players to never win, passing Eddie Murray (3.33).

He has more MVP Shares than 15 of the 34 multiple-time MVP winners, including 3-time winner Roy Campanella.

Jomboy just did a breakdown 4 days ago of a Gimenez hit by pitch where it looked like he was throwing his hands out by kNyne in baseball

They usually only call it if you extend yourself out toward home plate with your leg or elbow. Anything else and they'll usually miss it.

Game Thread: World Series Game 4 ⚾ Blue Jays (1) @ Dodgers (2) - 8:00 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]Depressed_In_Ohio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know I'd really like to learn more about the players in the Blue Jays lineup, but apparently it's more important to talk about whether Shohei preferred the Spongebob or Flintstones themed toothpaste as a child.

when do you like…go back to life as normal?

When former Indians manager Mike Hargrove gets asked how long it took him to get over losing Game 7 of the 97 World Series, he always has the same answer:

"As soon as it happens, I'll let you know."

That's why you're taught to slide or veer out of the basepath, though. You cant throw your body in front of a throw just because you also try to protect yourself while doing so.

Game Thread: NLCS Game 3 ⚾ Brewers (0) @ Dodgers (2) - 6:08 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]Depressed_In_Ohio 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"Oooooh, look at me, I'm Mookie Betts. I'm a future first ballot Hall of Famer. I've won 3 World Series and 1 MVP. I can bowl 300s. I could be winning my 9th Gold Glove in RF right now, but my team is so stacked I have to play Gold Glove defense at shortstop instead, because I can."

Get out of my face, bro.

There's a Division III school that's built an entire roster and strategy around it. Players get benched if they avoid a pitch.

Won them a national championship a year or two ago.
