caulfield12 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 The amazing thing is that the Phillies' manager was one of the least heralded guys out there...at least when that trigger was pulled. Look where they are now. Ofc, we get the opposite out of Grifol, but not much comparison in talent between the two teams anymore (2022-23, compared to 2020-21 Sox and Phils).

reiks12 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Those Orioles were right, they didn’t need pitching at the deadline. I hope all the prospect hugging was worth it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope all the prospect hugging was worth it. All they had to do was eat a few contracts, not give up prospects. Scumbag owner claimed he is broke, and also don't expect this core to last once they have to pay them. What a corrupt pathetic sport. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2696277 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopek Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) The more the Sox piss me off, the less energy I have to hate the twins in that rivalry way. Dare I say I’m even enjoying their playoff run? Correa is a postseason cheat code and Pablo López is a stud and seems like an excellent dude. It’s kinda fun to watch ?♂️ Edited October 9, 2023 by Snopek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun team, clean uniforms, likable roster. I'll get back to hating the Twins once the Sox are competitive in 4 to 5 years.

Quin Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'm pulling for the Astros at this point. Most of their cheaters are gone, and if we ding them for having guys from that championship team, the Twins have 2 of them. I know Keuchel wasn't a hitter, but he had to have known (after all, a reliever is the one that broke the scandal). Add in Abreu and the fact that the Twins are the Twins, it makes it easier. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same fans, same owners. I will never root for them again. You could put every player I hate on a team, and I’d root for them against the Astros. They cheated and were then allowed to get away with it when discovered. They were even protected from in-game retribution from other teams. MLB basically punished everyone else in order not to punish the cheaters. I can’t stress it enough. f*** that team straight to hell. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hell of a finish to the Phillies/Braves game. Kind of don't blame Harper for gambling and being aggressive but that was a colossal mistake. Meanwhile, Dodgers pitching looks terrible.

"Based on everything I've heard, it was like all the teams that were in the postseason that year were doing the same sh*t." "I think that's also kinda why the players kinda had that half-apology energy when they were apologizing for all this stuff, because they probably knew like 'Man we got caught, but everyone was kinda doing this stuff,'" Giolito said.

Not sure why unless they think he can't take them past a division. Sometimes you wonder if a 100 win season is a curse. Aren't they a team who has more than their share of injuries? Imagine a 100 win manager loses his job while a 100 loss manager is keeping his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
