Yes. An amazing feat it would be you f***ing idiot.

That’s news to the Dodgers when they paid him $17m to be the #3 in the rotation. It’s too bad Friedman didn’t have you there to save him the time and effort.

They haven't won a championship in a real season yet, so maybe they should give me a call. I'd do it for a modest consulting fee too.

Significantly more rare than 7 perfect innings.

Significantly more rare than UCL injuries.

He didn't just need "one more pitch"

It would have been 20 minutes waiting in the dugout trying to keep the arm warm while the Dodgers batted in the 8th. Then going out and throwing warm up pitches, then having to get 3 more guys out, then 20 more minutes in the dugout, then more warm up pitches, then 3 more guys out. All the while he's exhausted and every successive pitch is less and less effective while the injury risk rises significantly.

In game 7 of the world series would you sit Kershaw at this point?

Holy f***ing baseball.

I told anyone who would listen to me at work that if the LAD shit the bed BAD there could be a chance Roberts gets fired and Maddon replaces him. Doesn't feel so crazy now

I really didn't think the Dodgers had a shot at the division this year, but here they are magic number 5 with a 6 game lead.

What was the context here? Were they going at it all game or something? lol Least it wasn't batteries. Nevermind, found it. Apparently one of the Guardians had climbed the fence to yell at a fan after a previous play.

@kingsholygrail Tried to quote your post above but here is a breakdown of what happened

 

[Herby]

The Bauer thing is just so messed up it’s almost amazing that MLB will try and justify this. 324 games vs 20 games for Ozuna.

If the suspensions were reversed this would be a major news story on every network news show by people trying to push certain things.

And I know it’s a different sport but if Bauer gets 2 years then we should never see Deshaun Watson take another snap in the NFL.

 

[Schrute farms]

The whole Bauer thing is bizarre. I have no dog in this fighter -- i'm not a baseball fan at all. But makes no sense at all. Let alone compared to other (worse) prior suspensions.
Either MLB has something very, VERY bad on him that hasn't come out;
or it's a witch hunt against Bauer by MLB (with his outspokenness, fierce fighting of this, beat-to-his-own-drum attitude, etc.).

Almost seems like the latter. But wow, that's gonna cost MLB a heck of a lot of money down the road in a lawsuit by Bauer.

I think you could make an argument for the latter if the guy wasn't such a douche bag. I don't mind MLBs decision because it takes the pressure off the team, let the league deal with the consequences.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The 'problem' is it's hard to find the bigger douche between Bauer and Manfred.

There's a baseball team called Guardians?

Never heard of them.

The former Cleveland Indians.

 

[Master Yoda]

Guardians? Commanders? Some of these new team names sound like mock team names on a comedy movie.

Trying to figure out if you never heard the news or just another anti-name change protestor

I never heard of them.

Baseball is kind of dead in my circles. I never hear anything about it. No one talks about it. I didn't even know the season started.

Sounds to me you were just mocking the name change. Whatever floats your boat, though.

 

[kingsboy11]

Guardians is a terrible name straight up. Could've come up with so many better options. Commanders I think is alright, although I think it would've been cool to have kept Washington Football Team.

It will catch on. The name Angels sounds stupid af, too. But everyone just went along with it.

 

[Herby]

I do kind of agree that the names will eventually catch up and be accepted. If you have the Jazz in Salt Lake City and the Lakers in Los Angeles you can name any team anything.

Washington should have kept Washington Football Club.

 

[johnjm22]

Knights, Guardians, Commanders. All recent names that have a somewhat similar vibe.

I think the name is pretty boring honestly. Like Senators, or Nationals. Although it's true we tend to get used to names over time.

I like names that are unique to a particular team like Lakers or Canucks.

OT, but my High School mascot was the Aztecs. They changed the name later for sensitivity reasons, but they eventually changed it back to Aztecs again.

Washington should have kept Washington Football Club.

It was so generic and bland, that it was ironically kind of cool.

At the same time it sounds kind of classic. It's definitely better than Commanders IMO.

 

[ru4reals]

Don't follow baseball much till Ohtani blew up a bit last year. But I actually had no idea Cleveland changed their name. Agree not big on Guardians. Heck why not just name them the Avengers. But was Indians really that bad. Isn't it paying homage to the natives. I had no problem with Indians or was the woke mob too much to overcome.

The Jazz used to be the New Orleans Jazz, they just never changed the name after the move.

The way things are going, one day in the future we will have to change the Kings name because it's oppressive having a King ruler and all the past brutality caused by King's could "trigger" some people with anxiety, stress, etc. lol SMH
