Vindication.

A moneyball team literally just beat the Astros lol

Of course Ruben Amaro Jr would be the one sharing this. The most anti-analytic 'old school (despite being a young guy at the time) feels' GM who was who ran an organization into the ground.

Moneyball was a thing because of owners that refused to spend on the team. You can remove the numbers if we get to vote out cheap owners. Seems fair.

P.S. Please write the Soto check. I’m asking nicely.

I think he goes back to the Yanks, but can you imagine this lineup with Soto lol

Cast Walker and Castellanos to the shadow realm and pull in Soto. Re-sign Hoffman. JT off the books after next season

You can't have Harper not win

This is me every time someone brings up Soto’s poor defense:

 

[trostol]

It would be a crime if Bryce didn't win one during his time here

They said the same thing about Harper's defense too lol

 

[DancingPanther]

Schwarber Soto Turner Harper as 1-4 has me feeling feelings @JojoTheWhale

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Pinch hit homers, what a world.

Yes, but have you stopped to consider that he's a locker room cancer like Harden?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I have the radio broadcast on because Uecker is a hell of a lot more enjoyable, but that's the hardest ball Sal Frelick has ever hit.

 

[ponder719]

HA-ha!

Now let's see if he can do something with the second wind.

Edit: Meh.

Come on Brewers, spare me from asshole Mets fans next week!

 

[Halladay]

The Brewers pen is very good. Still 6 outs to go though.

In regards to the best hitters ever, I think the top 3 are Ruth, Bonds, and Williams and you can have them in any other and it wouldn't be outrageous to me.

I personally think that Stairs repairing a tear in the fabric of my sanity should also count. But technically I guess this is true.

Don’t discount Ty Cobb when it comes to the best of all time. He played his entire career in the dead ball era so the homerun numbers are low, but he led the league in OPS 10 times and OPS+ 12 times

For his career:
Avg: .366, #1 all time
OBP: .433
SLG%: .512
OPS: .945

Lou Gehrig is up there too.

 

[Flybynite]

I'm kinda low-key liking see the Wisconsin senate specific ads air.

They hit different "C'mon, this guy hates fatties like us"

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Nimmo might be the biggest f***ing dork on earth.

 

[BiggE]

Damn

 

[FLYguy3911]

unreal.

 

[Cody Webster]

Muddar f***er

 

[Rebels57]

Brewers 9th inning choke job. FML.

 

[ponder719]

Well, f***.

 

[Halladay]

Alonso finally with an extra base hit.
