The article is solid, because its Brisbee. But, HOLY horsefeathers, look at how slow Pujols is. Lololololololol

lmao

 

The Cardinals don’t have secret powers that would have prevented Pujols’ foot from breaking down, but they do have Stan Musial’s endocrine glands pickled in different jars, and they let certain hitters chew on them from time to time

"And there's an easy-out. Oh look, the SS fumbles the ball, and oh, he has time to pick it up, pump fake, pat his glove, and lob the ball to the 1B and beat him by multiple steps"

My favorite part of the 538 article that it links to was a chart breakdown described like this:

 

Worst ranks (from the bottom of MLB) in wins above replacement for players who were best in the league for at least one season, 1901–2017

 

Pujols was at the top. Second? A dude with the awesome name of Snuffy Stirnweiss.

I’ll stick with the Dodgers, who use Stanton’s help to power past the Cubs in the 2016 NLCS. In this scenario, the Dodgers aren’t willing to sign Stanton after that injury-marred season, so he’s a free agent and signs with the Giants. Also, the Dodgers lose in the World Series to the Indians. They’re swept and outscored 32-2, which is a record, and it makes all of the fans very sad.

 

this would have almost been better than the cubs winning it

He was so insanely horsefeathering good it hurt to see him go, but damn I'm glad they did. I can't imagine hating the greatest Cardinal player I've ever seen being on the team.

Is this the appropriate thread for C.C. Sabathia mocking?

So the Astros have actually surpassed the Dodgers' World Series odds on Fangraphs (by a hair).

 

18.8% to 17.6%

I honestly don't think either makes the WS and think at least one loses in the DS.

i honestly don't think anything specific happens because literally anything can and will.

 

and yeah, you're probably right about neither making the WS.

Pablo Sandoval is 0 for his last 38

 

MLB record for non-pitchers is 46

 

Will the Giants give him a chance to break the record or kick him to the curb to help save some of his dignity

 

What a colossal crash he's had

Olbermann has been complaining on twitter for three days now about baseball players eating sunflower seeds when they are in the field. Does anyone else have a problem with this? And am I correct to think he is crazy for caring about it this much?

at first i thought he was taking a bite of a giant ice cream bar. if keith is as blind as me and thinks that, then he's fine. complaining about sunflower seeds during a game is nonsense, though.

People pointed out a bunch of pictures of players eating seeds, mostly in the dugout, and Keith doubled down on his complaint by pointing out that eating was in the dugout, not the field of play. Then people just kept sending pictures of players eating seeds on the field.

He's basically being his character on Bojack, it's really weird.

THIS IS ALL I CARE ABOUT NOW

I don't know why but I used to get bothered when Starlin would step out of the box between each pitch to load his mouth with seeds.

eating cookie dough during the game is a bit extreme

I am enjoying the Dodgers being bad now. I'm not enjoying the Dbacks being good now though.
