Underachiever

And let me add, that just because they can, doesn't mean they should. I hate the idea of the Olympics shutting down the sport. Like the all-star game, I would be fine if no Brewers were chosen for the Olympics, and the players from MKE can simply rest for a week.

And the WBC as well.

Regarding the bold, unless Arnold says, "we couldn't take on any more money after the McCullers trade", how will you know?

PCA on the red carpet, bringing pleated khakis back? I got a whole new wardrobe in storage if this is true.

This kind of discussion always reminds of the Doyle Alexander-John Smoltz trade (and the Sabathia trade for MKE, of course). Haha, Tigers, you gave up a hall of famer for a 35-year-old pitcher. But, Alexander went 9-0 down the stretch in 1987 and got them into the playoffs, where they lost to the Twins. They held off Toronto by two games, and Alexander got the win against Toronto in the first game of the final series, where Detroit caught the Jays. Was that a bad trade for the Tigers? I'm sure it felt pretty good during that season. At some point, you have to give the front office some grace, and not re-litigate every trade 10 years down the road. I think all of the WAR computation for the various trades can get silly. Do you want an 8-WAR player this season, or a guy who gives you one WAR for 9 years so you can say you won the trade?

After a lifetime of watching baseball, I still don't know what a balk is. I am surprised when it is called almost every single time.

How considerate of you

You must not read the IGTs.

Am I in the Lift&Pull Generation? Or am I too old? I'm too old, aren't I.

Ortiz for Skubal, who says no? Although the Tigers would have to throw in Mize to make it work.

Six-feet-underachiever

To my knowledge, no. I checked it out a few years ago because my dad did it in a home talent league game many years ago. Made the first out, team batted around, dad made the second out, they batted around, and he made the third out.

What are the Phillies gonna say when Lara gets added to the All-star roster after 5 games in the majors?

This poor pitcher

That’s FAAAAAST!!!
