Maybe he wants traded or DFA'd so he doesn't have to end his career with a fucking loser.Laley23;1868673 wrote:Yeah, there is video of it.

Stanton now with 50 HR....5th player ever with 50 before September. A week before the ASB he wasn't top 4 in NL HR, less than two months later he leads NL by 16 HR

So, last night, CC Sabathia apparently cried like a bitch because he was pitching with a sore knee and some dude on the Red Sox had the audacity to bunt on him (leading to a throwing error) in the first inning. Up to offering to meet with him in centerfield before the next game.

Between the NBA vs MLB, I have a hard time determining which players are the bigger bitches. On one end the NBA's passive aggressive behavior would make teenage girls blush and on the other end MLB players get butt hurt over the dumbest shit.Heretic;1869757 wrote:So, last night, CC Sabathia apparently cried like a bitch because he was pitching with a sore knee and some dude on the Red Sox had the audacity to bunt on him (leading to a throwing error) in the first inning.

That is horseshit. Not sure whom it was but saw an ex player say CC should lose weight?Heretic;1869757 wrote:So, last night, CC Sabathia apparently cried like a bitch because he was pitching with a sore knee and some dude on the Red Sox had the audacity to bunt on him (leading to a throwing error) in the first inning.

Years ago when we were facing Jon Niese from Defiance and then of the Mets we put down a number of bunts on him when he was having back issues. You do whatever you can to try ethically to get on base and bunting....is as good as any!

Not that this would ever happen but how sweet would it be if it did? MLB's heads would explode.

The easy to read post season tiebreakers! Little more in depth than the nil final tiebreaker of a coin flip

Playoffs begin tonight! I'll be interested in seeing how the hitters change their approach to try harder to score runs by going to the opposite field more, something I picked up on back in the 1972 when Johnny Bench took an outside edge palm ball from Dave Giusti out to RF to tie up the NLCS in the 9th inning. Up to then I had frequently criticized Bench for trying to pull the ball to LF all the time and hitting into so many double plays, something I continued to do for the rest of his career. Does anyone have any stats comparing percentage of fair balls hit to the opposite field in the post season vs. the regular season? Incentive now seems to be be higher than ever to go oppo with all the extreme shifts being employed.

That helped him much in getting thru 2 innings giving up just 4 runs. Lucky to get out of the game without being the loser.like_that;1874915 wrote:Hope minnesota wins tonight.

Interesting. Made David Freese a hero one postseason. Cardinals def made going oppo their thing when the going gets tough.mhs95_06;1874914 wrote:Playoffs begin tonight!
