DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Remember when guys in the 80s would meander over to the plate and just kind of take a whack at the ball? Baseball was weird then. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Do you ever wish for one team to renounce analytics-based baseball and be as old-school stupid as possible out there, just to see what happens? I bet they'd still finish ahead of the Padres. I've grown tired of the cargo cult around intelligence in sports, where anything that's deemed smart must necessarily be good. I don't know what's good about 30 strikeouts a game or hockey's ugly shot attempts for the sake of shot attempts. How about Craig Counsell's goofy-ass batting stance, like he was trying to use a bat to dust the top of a ceiling fan. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ugh, how horrible is it to see a new generation of Yankee stars growing into the game before your very eyes. And these ones are so young and charming and talented! Gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The only benefit I can see from this Yankee/Red Sox series is that its in the Division series round and not the League Championship round. At most we have 5 games for ESPN to drool all over. Really pulling for Houston from the AL to make it back. Braves in the NL would be my dreams come true, but I think they are still a year or two away from being a true championship contender. If they don't make it, then I'd like to see Milwaukee make it to the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 8 straight winner-take-all playoff losses for the A's. Incredible. If they were an NFL team they'd be the Cincinnati Bengals. See ya again in 4 years with another group of randos who somehow won 95 games. Yankees-Red Sox Resurrection might be fun because these are all new players, kind of fun players, and because this will only be a 5 game series instead of a dreadful 7. And because these are two of the best teams in baseball and this series has been foretold all season long so it kind of feels like it should happen. But it'll only be fun if I ignore the uniforms and ignore that every single fan of both teams is an awful, despicable person who isn't due one more single good sports memory for as long as they live. That might be hard to do. I'll hate watch this series and probably have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the Red Sox are in the same boat; Gary Sanchez is a bit of a diva so you at least have him as a target for ire I mean, I'll cheer against the Sox because it's what I do, but how the hell am I supposed to find a way to hate Mookie Betts?

It's one of those things that baseball people say to try and make the simplest sport in the United States sound more complex than it actually is. I mean, launch angles and the whole "flyball revolution" thing. You know, flyballs, the only way to hit home runs. Home runs, of course, are a good thing. I'm glad it took baseball players 115 years to figure that one out. And I guess I actually mean that in a non-sarcastic way too, because there have still been people in the sport who talk about home runs as being "rally killers" and generally trying to find ways to make it sound like being a home run hitter is Actually Bad. It's pretty odd because you would surely think the sport with the most brain-damaged analyses of how the sport is played today would either be football or hockey and yet here we are.
