Let's say we agree with WAR as the only indicator, and I agree its a good one, do we really need the 10th best 3B all time in the Hall of Fame right now, knowing hes likely going to get bumped off by...

Its the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of stats, or hall guys who had a very good year. Your average baseball fan knows who Albert Pujols is. He is beloved by 3 different fan bases, Larry Walker...

Having been lucky enough to take a 7 year old boy to the HOF in Cooperstown there were a lot of guys I said, man I wish you could of seen him play/pitch. Rickey Henderson, Gary Carter, Steve...

Oh and all you Red Sox fans in the tri state, Bucky Dent Bobble head day is August 4th

Makes me ill, as much as I hate on the Giants as the DOdgers biggest and longest running rival, I usually respected the way the did things and players like Posey.
Giving this admitted cheating fuck...

Also, number of Day games on schedule ( only really scanned Yankees as they are closest/easiest for us) gets less every year which is criminal

in MLB's continuing pursuit of stupidity and alienating fans. Opening day is March 30.
Now I would pull my son out of school for Opening day and take the day off work, but Yankee Stadium March 30...

Today, in 1971 the Metsing Mets traded Nolan Ryan (plus Leroy Stanton, Don Rose and Frank Estrada) to the Angels for Jim Fregosi.

2B - Jose Altuve
3B - Manny Machado
SS - Trea Turner
OF- Mookie Betts
OF - Aaron Judge
OF - Mike Trout
DH - Yordan Alvarez

you are stoked for next season. Your lineup is sick

Only D stat I could find, and sums him up good not great defensively

Will miss Turner's smooth and Creaminess, but he got paid in Philly. Plus we still have Gavin Lux @ Short. He of a .968 fielding percentage @ SS and 40+ RBIS each of the last few Seasons. We will...

Personal feelings aside whonthe fuck b at the leaguecoffice thought it was good for baseball to have these drags win the series?

Let's go Phillies

Multuple Yankees ALCS tickets available for under $30 right now
Crazy

Sick burn pound key, except that the Dodgers have still won more games this year, and in the last decade, than the Yankees. we are unfortunately as bad as the Yankees in the post season.

Now...

How not to win games:

After striking out 17 times in Game 1, Yankees struck out 13 times in Game 2.

And your stat only proves Yanks are more playoffs impotent than my Dodgers
20 years of reg season...

The Dodgers are amazing at baseball, best of the last 10+ years.

They are just bad at playoff baseball, like when it matters.

Nice run Guards, hope you keep most of that talent for at least next season.

Astros Yanks needs to be 7 games of extra inning ball and end in a never ending 5 day game 7, like a cricket match

That wouldn't sell any chicken fingers or bud light seltzer, plus parking and logoed rain gear

Wise son you have

Sure, but they will keep pushing and if rain stops game starts and hourish later radar looks like rain till 10 at least

Yankee Stadium is brutal for rain delays, they never call it
Wait and wait and wait
