2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Eh give me Bonds stats pre 2000. Those are the ones that really impress

 

[d3si]

Bonds hit Randy Johnson for a 1.003 OPS in 62 plate appearances; no other left-handed hitter with 50 PAs did better than .888, and left-handers overall hit .199/.278/.294.

Wow, I have no idea.

Bonds

Steroids or not. Such a beast.

Congratulations to Sandy Alderson for naming MLB's top executive by Baseball America

Yo, that tweet from Yankees is classic!

 

[macbk]

at the Yankee tweet.

Oh Joba, what could have been...

at the Yankee tweet.

Oh Joba, what could have been...

I was at Yankee Stadium the night of Joba's first career start.  I got into a HEATED debate with this dip**** Yankee fan sitting in front of me who was trying to say that Joba was "the best young pitcher in the Major Leagues."  That comment was extremely laughable then, considering that in 2008, the "young" pitchers in baseball consisted of Tim Lincecum, Felix Hernandez, Cole Hamels, Jon Lester, Jared Weaver and Justin Verlander....and is even more laughable now after knowing what all have accomplished.

Oh you Yankee homers......

You can choose to believe it or not, but it is the God's honest truth.  The conversation lasted a few minutes too.  It finally ended when the guy said "well Joba hasn't even started a game yet, so there is no way you can tell me I am wrong."

Then Joba proceeded to get pulled from the game in the 3rd inning.  It was the ultimate middle finger to that guy.

What a ****

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Yankees fans thought he was the next Clemens

Nothing better than hyped New York prospects.

Fernando Martinez was my favorite.

he was until we ruined him

 

[Retroballer]

That's like Gary Sanchez and how he's been the next best thing for 7 years now.

Should have kept Joba in the bullpen.

Made the same mistake with Phil Hughes, moving him back and forth. (Was better suited as a bullpen guy for Yankees because of the type of pitcher he is, but anywhere else is a starter).


Currently making the same mistake with Adam Warren when everything points to him being better out of the pen, we are bringing him back to be a starter in Spring Training.



It's the Yankee way.... Got a back of the end rotation prospect, who is great in the pen? Keep moving him back and forth.

Chances the Giants are just trolling the Dodgers/greinke to have the Dodgers pay more?
