Ohtani becoming Superman finally shakes them out of the Pujols suck. Trout, Ohtani, and Rendon may be the best Big 3 in baseball and they still suck.

Do people think Pujols is gonna go somewhere and make a difference? Gimme a break. Radio was frothing at the mouth about him becoming a Brewer. Have they watched him lately?

Well, we haven’t exactly been sending a Murderer’s Row out there at 1B. I could see some reason for fan optimism.

Does he even play 1B anymore? Probably one of my least favorite players, so I’m not itching to sign him. But if he could help so be it.

Congrats.

Top 10? 5? in steroids taken.

He's soooooooo going to be a member of the Sox.

He’ll be batting 5th and playing LF (TLR will claim, “Vaughn can learn from Albert”) by Mother’s Day.

Yep, with St. Louis: 1.037 OPS, with an average season being 40 HR and 121 RBIs and played 143-161 games every season. Those are practically Ted Williams numbers.

Still not bad his first 6 years in L.A. when healthy: .777 OPS, with 162-game averages of 32 HR and 110 RBIs. Didn't "deserve" the contract he had, but he wasn't bad or anything.

Big falloff after that, which is what almost always happens with these 1,000-year contracts.

Is plantar fasciitis a brand of roids?

I don’t know if he can stay healthy, but it’s awesome to see Carlos Rodon having this kind of season so far. Even outside of the no hitter, he’s been fantastic this year.

Does anybody have a rotation better than Giolito, Lynn, Keuchal, Rodin and Cease (with Kopech waiting in the wings)?

The o/u for no hitters in MLB this year should be 20.

We’re up to 4. The Indians have been no-hit twice in 23 days.

A lot of people expected a regression by the twins, but they are kinda overdoing it.

As we all expected, the outfield trio of Andrew Vaughn, Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick have the White Sox in first place.

Well, it's as good as Billy McKinney. Tyrone Taylor, and Avi Garcia.

I wonder if the Tigers are going to look at what the Angels did to Pujols and think about doing the same to Miggy.

The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole · « **Reply #567 on:** May 10, 2021, 10:28:36 AM »

So minor league baseball is back. Which is cool. And while I knew it was going to be restructured, I didn't realize that they were also going the rename the leagues into the most generic things possible.

So the former "Midwest League" is now "High-A Central." The former "International League" is now "Triple-A East."

That's kinda lame.

WI inferiority Complexes · « **Reply #568 on:** May 10, 2021, 10:39:30 AM »

The new names do seem a little too generic, but at least they don’t lie. The former International League hasn’t had a team outside the US in over a decade.
