Re: World Series Thread

Dunno, but those last 70-80 ABs or so that Dilly had were probably the worst we've ever seen in franchise history. Even Mario Mendoza never had a stretch like that. Bradford would literally have to false start, hold, fall down, get pancaked, or whiff on over 50% of his blocks to match that...which ...

Re: World Series Thread

They were calling game 5 against Detroit an "instant classic" because it went 13 innings or whatever but i can't even remember who the starting pitchers were or how the runs were scored. This one will be remembered because Shohei Otani reached base a record nine times, and Freddie Freeman had a sec...

Re: World Series Thread

Could someone try to explain to me what is so great about a 6 hour long game with no scoring over the final 9 innings until one of the Dodgers got lucky and connected with wild swing # 107 of the extra innings? How about playing one extra inning where the team that scores in the fewest plate appear...

Re: Way too early offseason

This fan is biased after witnessing a Kazuma Okamoto home run on April 9 in Yokohama: https://npb.jp/bis/eng/2025/games/s2025040900135.html So cool!! I am so jealous. I've seen footage of what it's like at a baseball game in Japan. Looks nuts. What's it like, IRL? The atmosphere was electric (as wa...

Re: Way too early offseason

I'm all for trading those two. I think it's good business. Brings in talent for expiring, expensive contracts. Can't let good players walk out of your organization without getting a return imo. I'd be down with that, too. I thought about trading Castillo last year - I thought he'd be the weakest li...

Re: Way too early offseason

This is the most likely outcome though they will try Cole Young at 2B again. Not going to bail on one of their prized prospects. Btw Kelenic is a FA. :lol: Someone will take a chance on Kelenic. Why not? Pay him league minimum to scare all the water coolers in the dugout. His career is over - a hig...

Re: Way too early offseason

Why would tiger land trade him I agree. They made the playoffs and he was a key part of their success. I think it’s more probable for the pirates trade Paul Skenes. He’s wasting away while they piss around with their rebuild. Either way, our chances of getting either of them if they became availabl...

Re: Way too early offseason

Pretty sure he last time thru arbitration so not QO, rather they trade IMO he doesn’t have that value and should be able to replace cheaper and younger with less strike outs Weird. I Googled this, and the AI version of Google says "2026 status: He is arbitration-eligible for 2026, where his salary ...

Re: Way too early offseason

Here are our outfielders in 2024 and 2025. Randy's odd man out in my book. He could bring a return, and his money could help bring in an infielder. I'd be happy if the M's don't even offer him a QO. He's projected to earn between $16-18MM which is insane. But I expect they will offer a QO and get t...
