    if we’re talking about a guy who can play CF, he can play LF if he gets enough reps reading the ball off the bat.

    They're calling this one a high grade strain and it's giving me flashbacks to Severino's "minor" one a few years ago that lingered more or less all year. Two different people of course so who knows, but starting to think we won't see Gil until June/July.

    Most cursed MLB franchise.

    Even the Chi Sox and Angels got a championship and some short runs. Seattle's best season broke the MLB record for wins, followed by a first round exit.

    this game is equal to at least 2 rings, maybe 3 legacy wise. Derek Jeter could never.

    IIRC Griffey N64 was the first baseball game where if you created a player and the names were already in the game, the announcer would actually say full name out loud instead of just "number 24" or the like

    12 year old me thought creating a player named "Orel Blowers" was the peak of comedy

    Griffey N64 had fantasy drafts so you could draft your own team and that was amazing.

    they gave Joey Cora a batting circle in that game that would've been more appropriate for Ted Williams

    every once in a while, if you really connected with a homer, the announcer would say "that ball was crushed" in such a hilarious monotone voice. loved that. also, such a sick song using his own voice.

    the mariners were incredibly juiced up in that game. By far the best team. Cleveland was also incredible

    not sure it is "good" but I know Talkin Baseball is running through their team previews. generally going from worst teams to best teams in order. think I saw they released the Cubs today.

    They are just the Athletics this year. No city or location in the name.

    Definitely NOT the Sacramento Athletics. Nor the Vegas Athletics. Nor the Oakland Athletics.

    We have to pretend we don’t know where they are playing.
