2020 MLB Running Thread

You think, What kind of shitty team must they have been trotting out Foli followed by Boone?

Welp, 70-92 is what the Angels were under McNamara that year. Foli with his .563 OPS and Boone with his .641 OPS.

 

You sure like that account.

 

I sure do! Someone else on the twitter feed retweeted something by them and I checked it out and liked it.

And now I'm bringing it here, babe. Certainly better content right now than what's being played.

no worries. Was just curious. I have never heard of them before. Always looking for good baseball twitter accounts.

 

The Reds have a team account that you may enjoy.

 

Astros' Alvarez may be done for '20, Baker says

I know. I know. Fuck the Astros. There. I took care of that for some of you.

Dusty Baker is now saying Yordan Alvarez might be done for the season even though the MRI on his knee Monday supposedly came back clean. The knee was a problem back in March and he missed most of the season coming back from COVID, then lasted only two games. It just has me wondering what the heck is wrong with the guy.

 

The aftereffects of COVID could explain a lot of things.

 

I saw Tim Foil with the Yankees. He moved up and outside the front of the batters box to hit a pitch.

 

If a pitcher throws a no-hitter in a seven inning doubleheader game, does he get credit for it?
