2025 MLB Thread - Spring

Rates and Barrels

 

I did not realize Jesus Luzardo is on the Phillies until I just saw a tweet about him starting today against the Tigers. What a weird career he's had to this point and he's still only 27.

 

he's looked really good.

 

He's always looked really good. He's just often not healthy or the stuff hasn't translated to results from year to year. I'll still draft him in fantasy for the next 5 years waiting for it either way.

 

Being a manager and having to listen to Karl Ravech call back to back to back homers for the other team in your ear is a corner of hell nobody deserves

 

Sir, that was unnecessarily aggressive

 

tbf the Braves had like 8 HOF players in the 90's and got a whopping 1 title

 

Maddux
Glavine
Smoltz
Chipper
Fred McGriff
Andruw Jones eventually
Bobby Cox

Did I miss anyone?

 

Is the challenge system coming to MLB this year? I'll take my answer off the air rtr

 

Bobby wasn’t a player, per your qualifier. Also had Sheffield for a couple seasons.

 

Yea threw Cox in. Thought of Sheffield and Big Cat but neither are in the HOF.

 

your mom

 

Spoiler

 

Pick a player who didn’t kill someone

 

Weird time to cut off showing up both having 1 chip

 

mike hampton and john rocker

 

wasn't me, I just google Yankees world series titles in the past 24 years and this popped up

Google knows

 

why 24 though

 

Didn’t this tangent start with Griffey?

 

And Ichiro and Edgar iirc

 

A young Mickey Mantle destroyed his knee the same way. Kinda crazy to see what he did with one leg for most of his career.

 

Deion

 

FYI I went to cancel my athletic membership and they offered me $24 for the full year, worth a shot even if you weren’t considering canceling

 

Good looking out. My subbed renewed last July for full price. Year before I got it discounted for 35.99.

 

lol whatevs

 

RP lab machine go brrr.

 

Grayson Rodriguez injured again :killme;

Glad the Rubinstein honeymoon will be over soon, owners trying to be popular makes me fucking sick. He hasn’t spent shit either

 

Trade for Cease imo

 

An owner wanting to make it about them digs at me as much as Michael Rubin does, worst shit in sports by far

 

TYFYS

 

Vlad Jr. asked for "below $600M" over 15 years in extension talks with Toronto. Definitely a good financial system we have here.

 

oof

 

this never happened when the Yankees banned facial hair

 

Always felt like a time bomb after the elbow issues in Spring Training last year, unfortunately.

 

I've always said that Marcus Stroman is a great player and key part of the Yankees rotation

 

He’s like 35 and never had TJ. He’s the AC Green of pitchers.

 

ffs

 

Dodgers’ vicious and unethical pitcher arm destroying regime claims its first victim of the new season

Reminder of how old you’re getting

 

Matt Manning got optioned to AAA today. That’s crazy he is the player with the most years in the organization.
