OT: MLB Thread 2024

[SnowblindNYR]

My niece works for netflix and has to pay full price for a sub.

I don't know what her position is but I actually would feel annoyed by that.

Oh I have the worst one.

I had to pay full tuition to earn an MA at the school I was teaching at.

Finally a real closer

 

[McRanger92]

Great trade for the yanks imo, although Williams has a few playoff meltdowns on his resume. A recent one I can't quite put my finger on

 

[Raspewtin]

playoff starts are a spook

Clase is a generational closer and just got busted open by the Yankees and Tigers

this is great

2.1 career innings in postseason

If it happens again you can say maybe he’s not built for it but too small sample

Mets rocked that guy on the way to the NLCS.

 

[Irishguy42]

So long, Nasty Nestor. Will miss your weird-ass pitches.

 

[Kane One]

Mets rocked that guy on the way to the NLCS.

And he was caught tipping his pitches. Hopefully he fixes that for the Yankees sake.

Yes, that's right. Good call

 

[will1066]

Reaching with this one

Is he, though?

 

[Digable5]

Yankees are going to make him a starter.

 

[Raspewtin]

kyle tucker going to the cubs is really accelerating my villain arc rn

Apparently the Yanks didn't want to give up Gil in the deal

Leaving a gaping hole in their lineup because they didn't want to give up their #4 starter

I wouldn't have given him up either for an impending free agent...especially after what just happened with Soto.

 

[Raspewtin]

the Yankees are in a bad spot offensively and defensively. they need like 3 two way players especially with Fried being a soft contact hitter. we really, really needed someone like Tucker and i'd have happily given up Gil for him even as a rental.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

How are NYY going to score a run

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Imagine the shoes were reversed. You wouldn't trade Tucker to the Astros barring a stupid offer.

Maybe they would or wouldn't include Gil but i know the Astros rightfully would send him to the Cubs/NL over the Yankees unless their offer was significantly better in their eye.

 

[sbjnyc]

I don't know what her position is but I actually would feel annoyed by that.

She's in digital market research. Each company has a comp philosophy. From what she told me Netflix's philosophy is that they pay you a lot of money so you can pay for your own perks. They do pay at the top range for most roles it seems. I think she shares my account.

Oh I have the worst one.

I had to pay full tuition to earn an MA at the school I was teaching at.

That is bad. You win.

 

[wolfgaze]

I just came across this highlight from 5 years ago and this fan's 2nd attempt at catching a foul ball and what happens to his pizza made me laugh until my eyes watered.

 

[LionsHeart]

I wonder if the Soto situation really did spook the Yankees into walking away from another rental. I’d imagine Tucker is going to want to cash in next winter too.

These are also the situations where I feel nervous about Cashman and his ability to put together a ball club. I think this offseason requires some creativity, and I just don’t trust him with that.

yeah besides Walker which to me is an obvious fit, there's not a single good option out there for another infielder

Nico Hoerner? Who the f*** knows what the Cubs are doing?

Vlad JR? LOL

We absolutely cannot walk into this season with a bunch of kids. Cole and Judge have like 2 years of prime left. Really tough spot.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Mets still have a very flawed team and a B- pitching staff. More work needs to be done.
