The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

Couldn't happen against a bigger bunch of assholes. Fuck the Blue Jays.

And Gunnar is on a straight heater right now.

 

Rickwood Field is a very special place.

Certainly entertaining to see Gunnar excel. Meanwhile, Anthony Volpe, anointed as The Greatest Prospect Since Jeter, is doing less with 10 times the hype. Speaking of Saint Derek, I somehow remembered the name Jeter Downs today. Didn't realize he was claimed by the Washington National League Baseball Team LLC and that he can't play for them, either. Traded three times and released before his 23rd birthday. If you can't crack Beer Bong Brett's lineup, it may be time to consider another line of work.

 

Clay Trumpist is convinced that the Jays would be rolling the Orioles now if they hadn't gone woke and released Bass.

 

Thoughts and prayers Willie Mays will be able to make the trip.

 

Ahh, now I see that I posted on the A’s thread. Great Lake of Fail for me.

 

That will be a hard sellout. Rickwood may not be the First Church of Baseball, but it's on the short list. Geetting a major league team playing here is a big deal, no matter what the sport is. We have the Negro Southern League Museum here as well.

Giants, Cardinals to play 2024 Field of Dreams Game at Alabama ballpark where Willie Mays played, per report

 

I hope they didn’t ruin the kid. He should have started the year at triple A. He’s only 22 and he didn’t have great numbers last season to where he should have been an automatic Day 1 mlb starter

 

Did Henderson come out of nowhere? He played last year and IIRC properly hyped at the time, no?

 

Gonna be interesting to see what happens now. The original hype faded when Henderson struggled this year. Yet he has been better thanVolpe all year and receiving very little attention . Tough to compete with a player who not only wears the blessed pinstripes but who is a local NYC metro fellow, too.

 

I meant Volpe, not Henderson. Sorry for the confusion
