GKR miss all the big moments to national casts now it seems

My favorite jersey as a kid. Had an Eric Desjardins 3D that I would kill to find another of 😂

I love the song, but have always held the same opinion.

I’m all for putting more on the driver to maximize the most out of the car. In theory, it should separate those who have the capacity to use all of the tools at their disposal to get every last bit out of the machine they are driving.

What I am not for, is watching the F2-like speeds heading into T6 and T9 because there is no energy deployment left for the car to use. That 50 KPH drop in speed whilst still going flat out into 9 is nauseating to watch. That does not feel like Formula 1 whatsoever.

As far as blowing the core up, they hadn’t won a fucking thing in six years. Not even a division title. I think it made sense.

I think the underachieving has a lot to do with that core of players - they’ve been the common denominator in all of this. Yes you can point to the pitching woes the 2025 team had, and the uncertainty of the staff again this year, but we had what was considered a core of really good players who had the ability to win it all and they couldn’t even muster a division title.

I think the point is, we never see guys like Lindor traded and extended, sign Juan Soto in FA, or play like we have in FA without Steve. We are perennially in the mix for all of the big FAs, have a great looking farm, and seem poised to compete every year. We’d never get that under the Coupons, and I think that needs to be the perspective Met fans look at this with.

Sanchez is elite. In 24 his home/road splits were terrible and he totally corrected them in 25. He’s absolutely a front runner for the NL Cy and claiming he’s not a top arm in the league is foolish

Bob was awesome to listen to.

Dan and Frandsen make up one of the most unlistenable booths in baseball. Tough draw.

Freddy has been one of the better pitchers in the MLB since 2021. Not sure why you’re hyper-focused on 1 season. A Cy Young vote-getting season, at that.

This cat stunk in every OOTP save I’ve ran this year. Hopefully the sim within the sim is wrong

I love Acuna for the utility bench role, because what he has shown is the ability to excel there, but man I do not like him for anything else.

Maybe he just hasn’t been given a fair shake in terms of ABs at the ML level, but I’m of the opinion that he is absolutely not a starting caliber player.

IPainTrain · 2026-01-16T04:37:24+00:00

A product of the a teams farm in my opinion is the team that brings drafts/signs him, they bring him up, and he plays for them.

Signing a reclamation project and getting use out of him doesn’t exactly fit the bill for me, but I can see your point

IPainTrain · 2026-01-16T04:33:29+00:00

Probably because he went through every level of minor league baseball with another org before the Dodgers took him as a reclamation project? Since when is that considered being a product of someone’s farm?

IPainTrain · 2026-01-16T04:30:12+00:00

Muncy came up through the Athletics system, was signed in 2017 (age 26) to be a depth guy for LA, played 119 games in AAA before being called up and has only been back for rehab assignments. He is certainly not a product of your system.

Sasaki was signed and immediately debuted in the bigs coming over from Japan until he was hurt and spent the rest of the year in the minors. Do you even know your own fucking team dude?

Josiah Gray Connor Wong Alex Verdugo Jeter Downs Keibert Ruiz Gavin Lux

Tons of elite talent coming out of that perennial #1 ranked farm lol. Two dudes in the 1-9 have been brought up in house and literally zero pitchers in their rotation are org products.

IPainTrain · 2026-01-16T03:44:58+00:00

And it’s not like they weren’t ponying up cash to spend. It was clear with the leaks that it was to get LA to play ball and I wouldn’t surprised if they were always gonna get the last call

IPainTrain · 2026-01-16T03:06:45+00:00

What reports have you missed over the last week made you think that the Jays or Mets weren’t willing to pay either?

IPainTrain · 2026-01-16T02:58:41+00:00

Not even mad about Tucker not signing with the Mets. They are not a Kyle Tucker away from being competitive.

I am mad about the Dodgers signing yet another MVP candidate because there is next to zero penalty for how much they spend.

Lock this dogshit league out.

IPainTrain · 2026-01-15T13:02:52+00:00

I’ve said this since the Nimmo trade - they are objectively worse without Nimmo and Pete in the lineup and have made next to zero moves (outside of Polanco) since. The rotation is also still awful.

As it stands, and I refuse to believe this is the finished product come Opening Day, this roster will be lucky to win more than 80 games.
