i never really hated him to begin with. i was a big fan when he was in anaheim, so it was cool to see him do well for the cubs. my cardinal hate wasn't fully realized yet at that point, either.
Edmonds' dong against STL when he bat flipped and glared into their dugout was a good one too. I've never 180'd on a player before or since like Jim Edmonds. Joakim Noah was my biggest, easily.
Tank losses=bad. Luckily they're pretty locked into their spot at 4, and even further away from the 6 spot. Which is why I don't give a single horsefeathers if they win games because of young core pieces playing sustainably awesomely, especially with the new lottery rules.
i hate him for both and horsefeathering chris taylor, justin turner, and [expletive] hernandez and horsefeathering john starks who cares about starks, the knicks lost. he just made it more fun for us to win. also:
Valid
great song i'm gonna go ahead and explain that this is a reference to a rizzo tweet back from when we first traded for him (he also learned to play it on piano later iirc) just to make sure nobody thinks i actually like this song
plus i don't really think "signing great players helps you win" is really a question that needs to be proven to owners. they just want to hold down salaries and winning isn't their top priority.
you have a weird definition of "the best" Players proving to ownership that investing big in the best free agents produces significantly improved baseball teams....definitely something I'm in favor of. the cubs winning the world series, definitely something i'm far more in favor of but maybe i'm weird
Counterpoint: Them signing Machado and Harper and immediately rolling the rest of the league and winning the World Series would be the best. you have a weird definition of "the best"
oh i thought you were talking about spring training homers. that one you're talking about was in his regular season debut I believe no, spring training off rob scahill... march 19th 2014. that's their ST park. i can't find a clip anywhere, but i was able to figure out that it was in this game. https://www.mlb.com/video/baez-injured-remains-in-game/c-31593325
