shut up Pierzynski -
since they have Caminero and Mead (And Carson Williams, a SS in AA that Keith Law ranked as his 20th overall prospect on June 3rd) I would expect they would want either pitching or OF rather than an infielder
-
I think the US would be easier for Southgate to manage because it seemed like a large part of his issue with England was team selection and there just aren't as many good options on the USMNT roster. And for as ugly as it was, you can't argue that he got results.
-
and of course it took an absolutely legendary stretch from their starting pitching in the playoffs, a weird ALCS G2 thing where Pierzynski reached on a maybe dropped 3rd strike, big HRs from such legendary dongsmiths as Tadahito Iguchi (go ahead HR in G2 of ALDS), Joe Crede (go ahead HR in G1 of WS), Scott Podsednik (Walkoff HR in G2 of WS), and Geoff Blum (go ahead HR in the 14th inning of G3 of the WS)

I do believe that WAR accumulated from defense is less valuable generally than WAR from offense. Ultimately, I think a team of average defenders with above average bats is going to win more games than a team of average bats and above average defenders. Maybe I'm dumb for believing that, and maybe it's bias based on watching the Cubs the last 2 years who seem to have been built as a defense-heavy team with a good number of solid but not spectacular bats.

2024 MLB Home Run Derby + All Star Game Thread
Rex Buckingham replied to cl smooth's topic in General Baseball Talk
Why did they ever go away from the 10 out format? -
You get the best players.
-
could be off base... but I think it was the Shakira part that was the bad take edit: I'm an idiot and missed that you called people thugs... the problems getting in were due to the match organizers...
-
Clark showing some power... who needs pants?
-
I think he's got legit power, and I saw more than a few highlights from the minors of him putting similar swings on balls down in the zone.
-
Thought Montgomery might fall... Boston makes sense though
-
Only 3 more picks ahead of the Cubs... Montgomery and Yesavage still on the board... Tibbs and Cam Smith too... guaranteed a shot at 1 of them
-
dongs everywhere... and another! Morel has hit those 2 so dang hard... Fire Boog, keep Cohen
-
but only the competitive balance picks can be traded
-
Seiya looked lost out there on that one
-
That was a rocket
-
PCA again!!!
-
Cubs catchers have homered in back to back games...
-
Cohen just confused Seiya and Michael Busch... like 3 times
-
PCA with the bat!
-
and it might have just cost them a run
-
why is PCA making that throw home? Where is the cutoff man?
-
anyone else think Cohen sounds a bit like Chip Caray?
-
strikeout or popup for Morel?
-
here it goes... all those run-scoring opportunities we missed earlier...
