Hopefully Todd Ankin had to pay up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Robert being a high profile, potential once in a lifetime player helps as does a winning team after years of losing. Hope both Robert and the team get the support from management that allows them both to flourish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always helps for a young player to have his head on straight. This is where I worry about Moncada. Was he being irresponsible in his life which could be why he got Covid ? Does he neglect the fact that his talent alone will not benefit him unless he also works hard and lives a smart structured life ? If there was a lesson to be learned I hope he learned it and doesn't forget it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaws7575 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 You a good poster and know the game but we have no clue how he caught the virus . It could have been easy as standing next to the wrong person at the wrong . I just hope he recovers 100 percent by next spring. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I watched a ton of games on mlb.com. One reason I didn't get worked up when the team tanked late. They played hard during a trying time in world history and I was happy to have baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I watched all or part of probably 90% of the games this season, I haven't done anything like that in years. Like I think 2008 was probably the last time I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't have a TV in 2012 so last team I really loved and watched was the 2010 team which was a really fun team until that manny ramirez trade.

tray Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Eloy is my favorite player because of his positive attitude, his demeanor, and his appreciation for key moments in a game where he excels at serving up dramatic game winning hits and home runs. Add to that the fact that he is the Cub Killer, and he loves loves that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
