Ya pretty much that. The astros offense is unreal. I thought for sure the dodgers pitching was gonna shut it down tonight but damn.
I so badly want verly to pitch an inning
Who calls.him verly? The hell?
Spencer does that with player names. I encouraged him to stop.
He didn’t listen.
Sorry, Mav. Great series.
Congrats to the Astros. First championship ever. What a team.
fuck off Darvish
hard to be all that bitter because the Astros are a fucking great club right now and the one player we did truly buy to 'get us a World Series' is the one who fucked us over hardest
but we should have won Game 2 and probably Game 5 as well
we have a pretty young club and I'm excited for us to move forward, but man tonight sucked
Dodgers v Yankees next time this year and we take it in 5
Haha ya thats the fucked up thing about the NL. Who in the fuck is beating the nats cubs or dodgers anytime soon. I guess I can kinda see a window for the cardinals with all the great pitching coming in the minors, but they need the bats to take a step of some good trades.
At least in the AL there is a bit more parity.
And also, I didnt realise people didn't call him verly. I swear ive heard it somewhere before and always called him that since.
probably in your wet dreams
Kate upton wet dreams..
Rest in peace to the best pitcher I ever had the pleasure of watching. My personal hero growing up as a blue jay fan. Roy Halladay, you will be forever missed.
That’s really sad, Spencer. I was just reading about it. Roy Halladay was a force. R.I.P.
Im glad I got to hear it on the radio on my way home from work. I would have been pretty messed up trying to figure out if the early reports were fake news.
Still a bit messed up. Definitely crying a bit atm. Sitting in my car on the side of the road listening to some special programming.
If the Giants somehow land Stanton I will eat my hat. Last in the league in homeruns so they could use a power bat. Shit, they haven’t had a marquee outfielder since Bonds.
I hope to god the don't get stanton. That park would turn him into brandon belt. Im kinda kidding, but honestly the only dude hitting 50+ bombs there is barry bonds.
Wow, I was speaking outta my ass there, but it's a fact. The only person to hit 50+ bombs playing for the giants at that stadium was Bonds in his record breaking year.

Stanton is not of this world tbh
Not belt, but would gimp stanton a bit.Quote:

Of course lol. Hes insane. But so is that stadium. Would be pretty cool I suppose to see if the park factors would get to him.
I'm curious what he would look like at all stadiums. Even though it's not likely, the thought of him playing 81 games in Yankees, Mile High, Great American, or Chase.
Could be pretty fun to watch him murder baseballs there.
I think he could get 70+ @coors
I wouldn't say 70, it'd probably be a Bond's treatment, and they'd pitch around him consistently. Though I wouldn't put it past him, he'd probably be 60-68 in those ballparks.
Coors may even be the best for homers but the bigger thing in Coors is the XBHs and BABIP projections. I thihnk he'd just be more consistently closer to what he did this year.Quote:

True. Wonder if he could adjust to that. We haven't really seen pitchers treat him like that yet.Quote:

Let giancarlo bat 300 with 70 homers in my head marez. Dont shut my imagination down :p
So um... seattle might be the favourites to land shohei otani and hugh isn't here to speculate :(
Hey maybe, but I;m just super hyped about the fact that he wiped out essentially the entire non-west-coast Baseball market and the Cubs haven't been removed from contention.Quote:

Yeah I mean I think it's theoretically possible. They have a big market and a lot of money so if they're able to convince both there's no reason why it should be impossible. There are only 7 teams in contention for Ohtani (LAD, SF, LAA, SD, CHC, TEX, SEA)Quote:

I think the cubs are a potentially viable situation for him because kawasaki is one of his people and kawa probably told him how awesome chicago is.
