It doesn't matter what he does for the rest of the season - he is hands down the greatest last-round fantasy flier I have ever taken.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 10 April 2016 22:45 (nine years ago)

trade him!!

"Yes, the A’s flew from Seattle to Oakland on a plane the Giants are chartering this season.
No, the A’s players weren’t upset, embarrassed or complaining, according to right fielder Josh Reddick.
Reddick tweeted a picture of the plane, with a Giants logo, and heard back from not-too-thrilled A’s fans. It’s believed a few folks in the front office weren’t pleased, either."

Bee OK, Tuesday, 12 April 2016 07:13 (nine years ago)

This whole "Papa Slam" thing is pretty gross.

Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 14 April 2016 21:25 (nine years ago)

I wouldn't care except MLB is using the phrase very actively across its site and social media.

Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 14 April 2016 21:26 (nine years ago)

mookieproof, Saturday, 24 September 2016 22:41 (nine years ago)

Now this makes me nostalgic: today's the first time the Yankees have been shut out three games in a row since 1975, which included Bill Lee beating Catfish Hunter 1-0 (both threw complete games).

Spot on. If owners are simply hiring this archetype, minorities have no shot, and a lot of good baseball people are screwed.

i'm still amazed by that bichette season. i don't know if it's the worst on there, but he hit .298 w/34 HR and 133 RBI, scored 107 runs, slugged .541, and his WAR was still -2.3

LeMahieu does follow in a long list of batters who didn't have the guts of Ted Williams. Bill Madlock was the king of sitting on a title.
