Harper fields right handed and bats left, so his right elbow needed TJ and that’s his bottom arm when batting. For the record, Ohtani also bats left and throws right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe he can keep hitting unless he wants to get a head start on rehab.

SFGiants58 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 The 2023 Angels season: if "the poop cruise from hell" was a baseball team. Also, Stephen Strasburg is retiring after not having played since last year. Good for him, and let's hope he gets all of his contract money.

Now, they may come to an agreed settlement, but if you retire, you are leaving your contract and therefore are no longer entitled to any remaining money owed. Why would the team owe money to someone who has willingly decided to not see out the duration of the contract and stop playing altogether? Prince Fielder and David Wright both stopped playing, but didn't officially retire right away so they could still collect on the contract.

Alex Houston Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I know that the state of the White Sox makes many of us who root for them want to shoot ourselves, but this is a little much.

Shumway Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 As a lifelong Angels fan, I can say that it can and likely will always get worse. But then there will be hope. And then it all goes to hell again. But then more hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Since June 2 (when they put Kyle Schwarber and his .188 batting average back in the leadoff spot), the Phillies have a .635 winning percentage (103-win pace.) I don't get it - my brain can't wrap itself around a .188 hitter batting leadoff but it just works.

Giving your vastly underperforming $300M signee a standing ovation instead of booing him... Ironically, they moved him back to leadoff because of that underperforming shortstop, who was originally supposed to be leadoff. The exact same thing happened last season, where they were 7 below .500 on June 1 then had the best or 2nd best record in baseball... which coincided (along with firing Joe Girardi) with moving Schwarber to leadoff. It's mind boggling and defies all baseball logic that your biggest home run hitter, guy hitting below the Mendoza line, and leader in strikeouts would make for an ideal leadoff hitter, but whatever. I can't even think of another time where a guy hitting below 200 was even a regular player (or even on a roster), let alone leading off for a hot team. The bottom of the lineup has been relatively terrific this year, so other than the first inning, he's been coming up with more people on base and will have many more RBI than last season, but that doesn't explain last season's success with him there.

Digby Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Finally the Red Sox were back as the number one story in Boston this weekend but only because Mookie Betts made his Fenway return. Justifiably he got an ovation every time anyone looked at him. It was cute how Alex Verdugo took that personally and hit back-to-back leadoff homers; still, Mookie got one back anyway and he's still beloved by fans here, the majority of whom never bought the conspiracy theories about his refusing to re-sign here. Hope old Sean doesn't get canned for a second time for speaking too much. A little shocked they booked him for this weekend's series instead of the dull sycophant Will Flemming, all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Looks like the Reds have run out of steam. Young team, injuries piling up, and this is the most baseball a lot of them have played. Fun season, better than expected, but I'll be surprised if they pull out of this tail spin. I already hit on my over bet at 65.5 wins so that's cool. Next year should be even more fun.
