That's a good read.The new Yankee and Mets stadiums decreased capacity from their original location.
77 games ... 39-for-239 (.163 average) ... .495 OPS ... 4 HR ... 19 RBI ... 98 K.Tim Tebow is arguably the worst hitter in all of organized baseball, and definitely in the top two levels of the game.I knew he was having a bad year, but a friend showed me those stats, and ... Yikes!But hey, I'm sure he's still selling a few jerseys, so that's cool.
I’d take him over Travis Shaw this year
I won the bet for how soon the atheist would target the Christian ball player.Arguably the Worst in all of organized baseball...Mike is lying again...there’s a shock. Google can be your friend and a simple search of minor league baseball stats show’s how ridiculous your claims are.
Sooooo, changing the subject.Nobody, but nobody calls a walk off better than Uke. Someday we'll lose him. And life will be a little more drab.
Hoping they can get a little hot like this time last year. If my memory serves me right, the bullpen wasn’t really imposing until late in the year last year. Winning ugly is still winning.
His religion has nothing to do with it, snowflake. Tebow is one of the most over-hyped athletes (as a pro) of an entire generation, and his baseball statistics are eye-poppingly bad.He was a hell of a college football player, great leader at the college level, fine color commentator. He was a terrible NFL quarterback, and he is an even worse hitter. Was I guilty of hyperbole? Perhaps ... but if so I wasn't off by much. I'd be curious to see the names of 3 everyday ballplayers with worse all-around stats this season.You accused me of "mocking Christians" in another thread, which was a lie. A few Christians here, most notably you, do take cheap shots at the atheist Scoopers constantly, though. There is even one yahoo who constantly wishes them Merry Xmas, believe it or not! But we're not snowflakes, so we don't call y'all out every time -- although we do occasionally point out that we have facts, truth and science on our side.Have a nice weekend.
While everyone on a minor league roster has dreams of making the big leagues, the parent clubs know that most of the guys there are just practice fodder for the few who are actually good enough to get a shot at the highest level. Using up a roster spot and playing time on a scrub like Tebow is nothing to the Mets if there’s a chance it might put more butts in the seats and make everyone a little more money.I’m not defending his being there, but I understand why he is (and not saying you don’t). Hell, I’d go see him if I had the chance, just to say I did it.
Tebow seems like a good dude. He is taking advantage of the opportunities presented to him. Can’t blame him for that.
Jordan Alvarez came up to the Astros in June. He gave the other AL ROY candidates a two month head start but in just 45 games...All of his numbers already surpass theirs. How good were his first 45 games? Best in MLB history...passing some 1941 rookie named Ted Williams (whose full 1941 rookie season concluded with a .406 BA ...best in last 78 years)Jordan after 45 games ...51 RBIs...better than the prior bests of:....Teddy (47) Joe Dimaggio (46) and Albert Pujols (46) Since June 9 call up to Aug 10....Jordans first 62 days in MLB has produced:GP AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB AVG OBP SLG OPS45 167 30 59 14 0 17 51 23 .353 .432 .743 1.175Please watch this kid hit...its special....I have been watching the game since the 60s. I can remember when Tony Oliva was having a huge rookie year... and Ray Scott (WCCO radio) comparing his numbers as second best to 1941 Ted W. Many more of us remember rookie Albert Pujols taking the league by storm.On an Astros team already overloaded this kid actually stands out. He is cant miss TV.Why not table the Tebow and all other digressions, prevent a lock risk and PLEASE....Share your memory of great players you personally saw in minors or at their MLB beginning...Besides the above...here is one of mine...Early 70s ....Still cold in the early season bleachers at CS...Announcer intro'd a lanky blond SS in his first MLB game (after only 50-60 games in the minors, total)....my friend says...watch this kid ..."he is going to be special"....yes ....Robin Yount .....ended up being pretty good.Who do remember at their first starts?
You spelled his name wrong every time.
