MLB 2018 regular season thread

Five players in all of baseball played 162 games last year.

Everyone else is a part-time player.

Dude, he’s not your dad. He’s a baseball guy. Laugh.

 

Funny jokes are usually funny because in some way, they're rooted in reality. "Bryce Harper: Part-time player" is not a joke rooted in reality. "Bryce Harper: Kind of a dick" or "Bryce Harper: Occasionally doesn't run it out" are things which are rooted in reality.

But congrats: You got what you were after - a little bit of attention. Here's your pat on the head. Good boy! Dick is cute! Dick is funny! Ohhhhhh Dicky! I'm so proud of my little big man! Here's an Ohtani for you to nibble on.

Now, back to my original post: If these truly are the 2018 Nats, and they do actually suck, they trade Harper at the deadline, right?

The worst possible situation is sucking a little bit less, just enough to make management think, "One hot week and we're right back in this thing!"

 

Is it not “rooted in reality” that he’s injury prone?

 

I keep forgetting, what was your previous handle here?

 

He played 153 games in 2015 and 147 games in 2016, but I suppose you could be right: Teams aren't going to try to acquire Bryce Harper, because he's injury prone.

 

Is this your trained eye again?

 

A whole 147 games?

Move over, Cal Ripken.

 

John just seems to be in on a lot of inside jokes for a new guy.

And, it’s weird for someone who you don’t know to be suddenly acting like an insider.

It’s like the new guy at work using your nickname on his first day.

 

I feel like your sock-puppet-identifier card has been revoked, at least until you finally present the evidence you promised when you were gonna out my sock puppets.
