2025 MLB Thread - Trade Deadline July 31

yeah things not looking great.

 

This is for all the Herman ass bitches who say you can see something new at every baseball game

 

I don't care how roided out Bonds was, dude was as close to a cheat code as you'll ever see in baseball.

 

The price of this on the open market would make all of us puke

 

if ive said it once ive said it a thousand times: cal raleigh is clearly better than ken griffey jr ever was.

 

Clearly should've kept Meat around after discovering a talent from North Carolina better than Griffey, Edgar Martinez, Arod, etc.

it really takes something special to take cal raleigh and buster posey and not win a title but the martin dynasty did it.

 

So much stupid luck/fortune involved, arguably Sully's worst team to get to Omaha (2017) won it all and other more stacked teams didn't. There's no explanation.

To be fair, cal Raleigh was a very good college catcher but I don’t think anyone expected him to ever be competitive with the best non bonds power hitting seasons of mlb history

 

I'm trying to find stats has he caught every game or rotated/dh when not catching? Sorry dumb questions I can't find on basebal reference.


It's impressive regardless.

 

He’s caught a huge majority of games.

 

Ok I wanna say 67 games at catcher and 19 at DH, yeah pretty damn impressive without nightly rotation.

Apologies I'm on east coast time not up for Mariners games.

 

Yeah pretty damn impressive even for an FSU guy.

 

I mean that's a double play if the ump knows the rules

 

Don't get mad just cuz Cam is better than Cags

 

Cal was in the dead bat era at FSU

but, to your point, Martin managed to miss omaha completely with a team that had 56 bombs between Drew and Morris

 

Kids' first MLB game yesterday ended like this so now they're spoiled...

 

Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.

 

245 of his 321 PA have come while catching, fwiw.

 

Batting average doesn't matter but Chandler Simpson is now above .300 which is pretty crazy for a guy who might be defended with 5 infielders in the future

 

I completely forgot he was a Cleveland prospect

 

Dude has been insanely clutch in the most random spots.

What a Nuke.

 

RIP

 

Not messing around on his 1st pitch of the ab being a ball bet

 

Sniper

 

Yankees are done. No Cole, Gil, and now Schmidt.

 

Jenks was built like a soda machine and was throwing 100 when that meant something.

 

Such a ridiculous pick up for the Sox in 05- he was utterly lights out for two months

 

This tigers v guardians series so far, 16 innings 4 total hr and 4 total runs. Teams only scoring via the solo hr variety

 

First time in Arozarena’s career he struck out looking 3x in one game. Welcome to bucco baseball buddy

 

That’s surprising because he’ll swing at ANYTHING!

 

And if playing KC the ball then goes over the fence. Asshole.

 

Yeah that was wild

 

Didn’t get to watch but would appear we got into a sold Spider-Man meme stare down. Two teams that definitely know ball just throwing down.

 

A bit late, but this fucking rules.

 

I hate that I'm defending a Mariner from these vicious attacks but Randy is just getting warmed up for the postseason where he shines

 

Well he’s on the wrong fucking club for that sort of shit!

 

Like 1/20rh the production the dodgers pulled out for their One Piece night. Wisconsin being pathetic, no one’s surprised.

 

Update on the Detroit v Cleveland series

23 innings, 4 combined home runs and 4 combined runs.

Offensive masterclass going on

 

Tigers had 4 runs through 27 innings this series. Now scored 6th in 10th inning of game 3 and are about to sweep if they hold on

 

Absolutely insane throw
