    Last time Trout played a full season Obama was still in office.

    Shame to see greatness cut short.

    Well from the back of the baseball card, sure. In reality you haven’t done s**t.

    Scherzer to IL w/ shoulder fatigue.

    He won't pitch against the Astros again this year.

    He made it 8 starts and 39.1 innings this year.

    He did pass Verlander and is currently 12 strikeouts ahead of him for 10th all time.

    It will be interesting to see how that ends up as both appear to be breaking down.

    i mean it's no different than when bregman says "the cream will always rise to the top". but i guess bregman is subtle about the astros being the best.

    Yep. Although still interesting to note that he and Aaron Judge are the same age.

    Did teams miss out on Snell at the deadline??? Following up his 6 inning, 15 k game, he pitches a no hitter today. Five straight solid games and I think in those 5 games, only allowed 2 runs. Not sure about total innings.

    Or did SF miss out by not wanting to trade him?

    Watching the Yankees game and hoping for their loss. Judge is unreal. Time to start walking him everytime...atleast until he cools down. Jesus Christ.

    Hardest part of watching Yankees games is Boone. Fk clown. No business being manager of any team and all because "he was raised in a clubhouse" and hit one freaking lucky post season homer way back when. Fake raging to umpires but can't demand anything from his players. Ofcourse I wish Boone & Cashman don't get fired so no threat from Yankees. Feels like Cashman just wanted someone doing 110% what analytics team tells him and when manager not anyone capable/experienced, Cashman would get the credit for championship and nice legacy for retirement.

    My most disliked managers:
    1. Boone
    2. Marmol
    -Same as Boone. No business being a manager and still horrible attitude towards everybody outside the club. Can't understand the fk off attitude when guy has't accomplished nothing ever.
    3. Servais.
    -Just that face is enough. If I should choose opponent to any sport by face....would choose him. Always face of man that just smelled month unwashed cooch and is paralysed by that.
    4. Cora.
    -Horrible greedy person by the stories.

    Cora is #1. I will never forget how he acted all innocent with the sign stealing here and in Boston. Being buddies with Joe Kelly is makes him irredeemable

    This guy and Hinch are the people who should've been blacklisted from MLB.

    Why? Solely participating in a sign stealing scheme that was mostly league wide doesn’t get you blacklisted from baseball.

    Even using PED’s/steroids won’t get you blacklisted. A-Rod still a lead announcer. Barry Bonds/McGwire have been hitting coaches.

    Because if cheating was going to get somebody blacklisted, then they should've held the men in the dugout who knew what happened and helped develop the system accountable. In other words if Luhnow was going to get blacklisted, so too should these guys have been blacklisted. Manfred witch hunt. SMH

    LOL

    This isn't about being fair, this is about Luhnow changing how the game is played, MLB and money.

    Those in power don't want things to change. They will banish those that threaten them.
