2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

And with Samardzija gone 60-year-old base coaches are that much less likely to get attacked by a player too.

 

Samardzija attacked Lorenzo Cain.

 

Still haven't gotten to the last hour of the movie. Lots of endearing moments.

Nice photo of Wrigley back when it was a ballpark instead of an amusement park.

 

That's also true.

 

1, The intros are great and

2, Garvey, Lopez, Russell, Cey ... 10 years an infield, '74 to '83

That hasn't happened since, right? Can it ever happen again?

 

Yanks' first sweep in Oakland since '79.

 

No & no. Free agency won't allow for it.

The Yankees made a big deal a few years ago out of their "Core Four," but even that wasn't continuous. Pettitte left for a few years and went to Houston.

 

10 years is pretty steep, but the Giants could get close. Belt and Crawford are in the first year of six-year contracts, and Panik and Duffy are still pre-arbitration. They're in their second year as a starting unit and all are under 30.

 

Watching that, I'm wondering ... does Al Michaels do anything at all any more other than Sunday Night Football?

 

I don't think so, but Al's age (older than me!) that's plenty, Besides what else does NBC have he can do. The French Open? NASCAR? The Belmont? (Actually, he'd be great there).
