The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

That's exactly the comparison I was making to my brother. Also, that 40-game stretch for the 1984 Tigers. They're just bludgeoning their opponents now.

 

What the Cubs and Christopher Morel did tonight is why I'll never be able to quit baseball.

And thank god for that, and nights like these.

 

Angels lefty Reid Detmers accounted for nothing happening in Texas into the eighth inning. Semien got a double, but that was it. Rangers got two more hits in the ninth, but the Angels won, 2-0.
On their six-game trip to Houston and Arlington, the Angels won, 2-1 and 2-0. Lost the other four something like 100-5

 

The Yankees are the worst I've ever seen them and that includes 1990, when they had the excuse of being run into the ground by pre-sanity George, who was about to get a "lifetime" ban from baseball. This is a lifeless, leaderless team with bad contract after bad contract bogging it down. Brian Cashman, who is 100,000,000% responsible for this muck and has been living on scholarship for more than a quarter-century while riding on the coattails of what Gene Michael built, needs to be fired. I'm actually starting to think George's son might have the stones to do it.

 

Which means they're gonna lose the World Series. If they even get that far.

 

And his first major league homer was against.........Jacob deGrom. Baseball's fucking great.

 

Cashman absolutely has to go. The last few seasons have made that clear.

Who’s next? They go Jeter?

Edit to add: I am not Manky.

 

Whomever the highest ranking front office member of the Rays they can poach. I like Amiel Sawdaye in Arizona. At this point I'd settle for Brian Sabean

 

You clearly did not see the Oscar Gamble, Mel Hall, Claudell Washington early 80 versions. They were horrible.

 

Haha I did (I was pretty young, but I remember them). They weren't good, but they hung around and were interesting. Those teams also had two HOFers in Reggie Jackson & Dave Winfield, plus Don Mattingly knocking on the door. The interest may have been drama generated by George, but at least they were interesting. This is a team devoid of life, personality and visible baseball skills.

 

Jeter was an unmitigated disaster in Miami. Most superstars (well, Jeter was overrated as shit, but you know what I mean ) aren't cut out to be good execs. I tend to think Jeter's ego wouldn't allow him to take the chance of failing in New York. BUT, he does hate Cashman. I can't think of anything he'd like more than replacing him as GM.

 

This will probably be chum in the New York media waters, improbable as it may be. Seems likely to be a GM vacancy in the Bronx.
