Junk is opinion. If not agreeing, go ahead and give me crap and write your own.
If agreeing, just smile and say, "I thought that same thing!"
Carl Crawford baseball career irks me a bit.
When he signed that contract, he was never the same.
Folks can say that it was the Red Sox or pressure or whatever.
But when it comes right down to it, Crawford changed from a first round player in NFBC leagues to an afterthought.
In the end, the only one he can blame for that is looking right back at him in the mirror.
Enjoy the money.
How in the world did James Shields ever get the nickname 'Big Game'?
When playing with KC, he didn't have any big games.
And since, he has been 'No Game' James.
I believe that Giancarlo Stanton will never be the same.
Sure, he'll hit some balls 120 mph, have a three homer night.
But, he is still deciding on when and against which pitcher to wear his face guard.
I don't think he has ever gotten over getting hit in the face.
He can't be blamed.
It's a damned shame.
Chris Carter is Adam Dunn without the walks.
Mark Trumbo has been in Chris Davis' locker.
It's incredible how the 6 ip, 4 er line looks when ahead in the game 10-4, than a 6 ip, 4 er line looks when losing 4-1.
Yasiel Puig is more a liability than an asset.
The Twins and Braves have been gawdawful this year.
The Braves have an excuse.
Reds Management hacked into Rockies computers and stole their formula for pitching prowess.
Without a real outfielder, the Indians are leading their division.
Lindor is a winner.
The Royals offense has to score five runs to win games.
That is not their game.
The White Sox gave up on Erik Johnson too soon.
And they did it to pay half of Shields salary.
Head scratcher.
So cool that Ichiro will get 3,000 hits.
I hope he gets to the Hall on the first ballot.
Don't get me started on the travesty of the baseball Hall of Fame.
Any ARod numbers reached should be treated as a footnote.
Still, he belongs in the Hall too, while we plug our noses.
The Mets are losing a lot of games that they should not be losing.
This will really hurt them when September comes.
If it came down to the Nats, Giants, Mets, or Dodgers...
I believe that whoever paid the price for Andrew Miller would have a leg-up on their competition.
The sooner, the better.
Two first round picks of the NFBC drafts are also in the top 10 in hitting home runs.
Just two.
Arenado and Machado.
We don't know shit, do we.
Even Longoria and Kyle Seager have comparable stats to Josh Donaldson.
We don't know shit, do we.
Carlos Correa's stats are matched by Corey Seager, Lindor, Bogaerts, Story, Villar, and even Eduardo Nunez.
We don't know shit, do we.
Orioles fans, hold down your excitement.
The Orioles have played more home games than any team (35)
And less road games as well (23)
Eduardo Nunez has as many homers as Ryan Braun and Andrew McCutchen (9)
As many stolen bases as Jacoby Ellsbury and Billy Burns(12).
Where would we have drafted a player like that before the season began?
If this year were over now, I believe that for the first time in NFBC history, a pitcher (Clayton Kershaw) would be the primary number one pick in most drafts for next year.
When I see that a pitcher like Yu Darvish was pulled with pain in his shoulder, than told two days later that he is ok cuz he threw some bullpen pitches and felt good, I never buy into it.
Those pitches in the bullpen are like a boxer hitting a heavy bag, not another boxer.
Anybody can hit a heavy bag. And anybody can throw in a bullpen.
When the bell rings or when the first pitch is thrown is when we truly know.
I expect bad news.
If agreeing, just smile and say, "I thought that same thing!"
