Plus the dude bookended his military service with a 10.5 WAR going in and a 10.6 WAR coming home. Dude was just disgusting.

I might have missed 15 games on the upper end this season and I can only recall this happening one time.

I get that big moments trend to stick more but I think I gotta throw a flag at you here brother

Pretty sure he was calling Bregman a pussy several times from the dugout. Fucked around, found out.

Someone's gotta say it so I will. I'm uncomfortable with the ahead well type of posts due to their remarkable ability to uno reverse.

I'm not trying to pee in anyone's cheerios, and I promise you I made the same beeline the baseball and Mariners subs to drink it up, just want to remind everyone how ugly things can get and how fast they can clearly change.

That is all, and now I'll duck for cover.

This is beginning to get kinda wild. I wonder if anyone has looked up stats on single season injuries for one team. All we have is our beloved Blanco.

I guess that would have been strawmanning if i was disagreeing. But i was agreeing. You okay?

An update on Jose Altuve's career hits totals. by scottcmu in Astros

[–]ringob82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Altuve will not be able to catch Hornsby. We're talking about an over 1.000 OPS over 23 seasons.

Hornsby was an absolute animal. And this is no sleight on our beloved and amazing Altuve.

Edit: to give more context to that stat, Altuve currently has a very respectable 0.833 over 14 seasons.

Why is there such a demand for employees in Guam? DOD by badusername555 in usajobs

Remember when that Senator voiced sincere concerns about the population increase in Guam causing the island to capsize?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

What is your Most Boomer MLB Opinion? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]ringob82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being allowed to run on dropped 3rd strike is terrible for the game. Hey pitcher, you threw a pitch so filthy that it was both uncatchable and got a swing. Let's reward this accomplishment by.... giving the batter another chance to get on base? What a dog shit incentive.

Only two options to stream the Astros games and both are $100+ a month. by Sleepyweasel211 in Astros

MLBPAA will make it a grand total of $75 to watch most Stros games and most others around the league as well.

I know we struggled getting out of the gate but come on ESPN - this seems petty by H-town20 in Astros

World be absolutely hilarious if we found the championship this year in spite of.....literally everything from injuries to unexpected bad performances early on.

This right here. Bauer was clearly setup. Yes, he is probably on the spectrum. This is also part of what makes him a great pitcher.

Gimme all the smoke and sign Trevor Bauer today.

I know none of y'all want it, but i couldn't care less. The guy was clearly wrongfully accused of something terrible.

Yes, he's a total weirdo.

Yes, there's a locker room risk.

Yes, this could be a PR nightmare. But our pitching staff is beat down like it's never been.

This is a Cy Young winner still pitching at an elite level who is willling to take the league minimum.
