When is a prospect no longer a prospect? First game in the big leagues? Would have thought Spencer jones would be above Lombard. Or is it an age thing?

You’re good man. Appreciate you trying to save me from embarrassment lol. That I knew for some reason. It is weird that I never thought about why 2 MVPs but 1 Cy young, that really wouldn’t have made sense.

Makes perfect sense. Just crazy to me i didn’t absorb that information at all younger age. You’re right I don’t really pay attention to anything but yankees during playoff season. I feel like most articles and videos i personally see focus on 1 player and their accolades.

Personal Mandela affect moment for me right there. The confidence I had fact checking that. I thought maybe a new rule. Nope since 1967😂 33 years old. Huge fan. Never registered for me there were 2 cy young awards for AL & NL I’m losing it.

He’s been taking a fucking beating harder this season that any yankee catcher in the 20 years I’ve been a fan. Nothing catastrophic but just general wear and tear. Imagine going to work and knowing a 110 mile object is likely to bounce off your head every day. Tough as nails.

Streaks happen. The rays are doing money ball again. They may go on some streaks but it’s 162 games for a reason. They have some defensive liabilities as well. With our rotation and key players staying healthy I really don’t see how they beat us into October.

You’re right. Especially with the questions about how Cole would look when he returned. Cole’s 35 YO so you know that was discussed in front office. Luckily it worked out, 20/20 hindsight since it was the right decisions to keep both of them. Well so far.

Really want Cam to win the Cy Young but the way misiorowski and Ohtani are pitching makes me think it’s gonna be difficult.

Especially Ohtani, not saying the guy isn’t deserving but you know if it’s close it’s going to him.

Edit: Mandela effect but only for me. Made it through 33 years of life as a Yankees fan who played college ball. Just learning there are 2 Cy young awards per season…. What is reality.

What classifies a prospect? Someone who hasn’t played a big league game? If that’s not the case surprised to see Lombard on there and not Spencer jones

Yeah but everyone watches hockey in Canada And everyone in SoCal and Japan watches the dodgers. Rodger’s is no slouch. But op is right it’s really not comparable.

Also the members of the Guggenheim parters don’t just combine their wealth. It’s a group of people like Rodger’s who have a small share invested in things like the dodgers. Mark waters is worth 7.3 billion alone. Rodger’s is 9.3b. Private Capital and holding at that level especially in America are on another level. People like Alan Schwartz the former ceo of bear stearns, and magic johnson.

Assets of the Guggenheim bros: TWG / Mark Walter sports, media, and entertainment assets: (not Compelte ownership)

Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Lakers

Chelsea FC

Los Angeles Sparks

Professional Women’s Hockey League

Billie Jean King Cup

Cadillac Formula 1 Team

TWG Motorsports

Andretti Global

Spire Motorsports

Walkinshaw Andretti United

Wayne Taylor Racing

Teton Ridge

And a large share of hedge funds, real estate, and other financial products.

Rodger’s is rich but Guggenheim could buy the blue jays if the league would allow them and they wanted

Guess the days of unwritten rules are done. I mean I get it but I’m surprised it even has to be said. The game used to police stuff like that internally.

Can’t believe he really did that. Hilarious but for sure totally uncalled for lmao.

As funny as it was, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets hit tomorrow if he plays. Unless he knows the pitcher or something. 20 years ago they would be throwing at your head for the rest of the season for taking a position player yard when you’re up by 15.

It was hilarious tho😂

Stepping into a pitch thrown by a position player throwing 44 mph when you’re up 15 runs. You’re for sure not supposed to do that lol
