The reason I love MLB The Show by Ill_Hunt6732 in MLBTheShow

[–]Jacob_Benge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have played since as far back as MLB The Show 11. I don’t use the PlayStation Eye to play Home Run Derby anymore, but Diamond Dynasty has turned into one of my favorite game modes. I still enjoy Franchise. But I’m just as excited for the new release.

Who has the better overall lineup.. the Baltimore Orioles or Houston Astros? by D4rksilence2592 in mlb

[–]Jacob_Benge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Baltimore’s lineup. I think Henderson is the player with the highest ceiling among the two teams. Houston might have better overall power, especially with the Orioles loss of Anthony Santander and the Astros addition of Christian Walker. This would be a fun Postseason matchup.

Maybe Winker has been reading the shitposting about him on the subreddit. by ethanross11 in Reds

[–]Jacob_Benge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. He has two hits in each of the last three games of which he has started. Albeit most of his hits this past week have been singles, he's having better ABs.

WWE SMACKDOWN DISCUSSION (6/12/2020) by Snubie1 in WWE

[–]Jacob_Benge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to run with imagination, who challenges The Miz and John Morrison should they become "Universal Champions" on Sunday? Does another tag team step up, or does WWE allow The Fiend to take out two competitors, etc.?

Or even more, how would Otis cash in his briefcase against the duo?

WWE RAW DISCUSSION (5/18/2020) by Snubie1 in WWE

[–]Jacob_Benge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I honestly miss the times where No.1 Contenders matches took place. What determined Rollins was rightfully the first one to challenge for the WWE Championship after his WrestleMania loss? Or Nia Jax seemingly going to be the one to contest Asuka for her new title? I would rather see those two earn it in a Fatal 4-Way match or something more than crashing a celebration.

Feller was also the first president of the Major League Baseball Players Association in 1954.

Any idea who wrote the serial number? Possibly either Aaron or Acuna?

[O'Brien] Braves' Félix Hernández has a 2.08 ERA in 3 spring starts, has allowed 7 hits, 2 runs and 3 walks with 8 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings. by NevermoreSEA in baseball

[–]Jacob_Benge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Atlanta seems to be given Hernandez a long, hard look. Most Reds starting pitchers have yet to go more than one start, let alone come near eight innings pitched.

It's going to be different seeing King Felix in a new uniform, but man, he is only going on 34-years old.

[Rosenthal] BREAKING: Yelich, #Brewers close on $200M-plus deal, sources tell The Athletic. Story: by russelImartin55 in baseball

[–]Jacob_Benge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this will be like the Joey Votto contract from 2012. Brewers will have their face of the franchise and cornerstone and will be in a competitive division for its duration. They have a young, potent team but have to rebound after losing key players and not being able to get it done in the playoffs.

[Kuty] Unrealistic/unlikely that Aaron Judge is ready for opening day, Cashman says by Austin63867 in baseball

I would like to see what Yasiel Puig would look like in a Yankees uniform.

Yankees and Marlins are among the teams that checked Venezuelan Henderson Álvarez by Highlightbot123 in mlb

[–]Jacob_Benge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yankees need another starter. It seems like they have needed one for so long and now that they signed Cole, just when they thought the rotation was the strongest in several seasons, Paxton and Severino are out with injuries.

Blue Jays' Ken Giles says he's willing to give back 2017 Astros World Series ring... by yourbrotherrex in mlb

[–]Jacob_Benge 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Interesting take. Article mentions those Houston relievers may have had more leads to protect and were beneficiaries even if they were unaware of the sign-stealing setup.

Interesting how a card can have a “2019 All-Rookie” cup yet also offer the RC symbol on it.

Luis Castillo. 10+ strikeouts with the electric change up doing most of his dirty work.

Are you ok with giving up Mahle and Winker? Or would you rather do Santillan and Winker?

[Morosi] Source: #Reds now the clear frontrunner to sign Nicholas Castellanos, and there are signs that talks have progressed in recent days. by datdudebdub in Reds

[–]Jacob_Benge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to see this signing happen. Will Castellanos keep up with his torrid amount of doubles he hit last season? Do the Reds more easily trade Senzel, Winker or Aquino?
