    and he is running like god. Giants win the close ones. (Dodgers do not - worst in MLB in one run games - slugging won’t win playoffs)

    Sunning > Slugging

    Brother we must pay our respect to both the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays on their wins today. Complete failure by Boston, fading at the wrong time. Rays vs Red Sox in Boston this week, Rays offense is on fire let’s see if the Rays are a + number for series price

    Seed the earth with some low overnight limits.

    Tampa Bay Rays +110 for Game

    ERod gets lit up at Fenway. Warm humid night in the little bandbox with the powerful bats on both sides. Your pitcher is no prize

    Rays/Boston Red Sox over 9½ -115

    Rays team total over 4½ -105

    We will see

    Brothers, regardless of what happens at the end, you probably made the right call with that +288 bet.

    Boston is so bad these days.

    Mookie Betts likely to the DL.

    He's been much better after the All Star break, after a bad (for him) first half.

    In fact, the Dodgers are doing pretty well, considering they lost Bauer to the scandal, Mookie hasn't been himself, Bellinger has been lost, and Seager has been mostly injured.

    Max Muncy has a .951 OPS, Chris Taylor has an .873 OPS, and the surprising AJ Pollock has a .901 OPS. Will Smith is right behind with an .846 OPS. as is old man Justin Turner with .867.

    So these guys have basically been carrying a lot of the load offensively, along with Betts more recently.

    Honestly, though, much of the credit goes to Buehler and Urias, who just keep posting Ws.

    Chris Davis, better known as "worst contract of this millennium so far", retired due to injury. He had 1 more year on his deal, which the Orioles will honor, but spread out over next 3 years. He also had part of his entire contract deferred, so he has a nice retirement annuity set up. It's not like Bobby Bonilla cosplaying as a check-cashing store and ripping off the Mets with interest, but still pretty sweet.

    2022-24 ~$9m a year
    2025-32 $3.5m a year
    2033-37 $1.4m a year

    Obviously 1.4m isnt worth the same 15 years from now as today, but after all the horror stories of the financial situations of these athletes, these deals are probably beneficial to them. This is also a Boras thing. He gets more from the team by offering to defer a chunk.

    I would have bet a decent amount of money that guy retired about 3-4 years ago. Fucking shocked he was still around lol
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    The .115 batting average in 2020, with 0 HR, was pretty amazing.

    Only 52 AB, but still hilarious.

    Somehow the Orioles forgot about 2014 (where he hit .196) when they awarded him that huge contract after the 2015 season.

    MLB actually built a Field of Dreams in Iowa, styled after (and near) the field featured in the 1980s movie of the same name.

    It was Yankees/White Sox, with Chicago being the home team. Nationally televised on Fox. Kevin Costner was there and was part of the pre-game festivities.

    https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1425960760652533764

    Actually ended up being an exciting game, with the Yankees entering the top of the 9th down 7-4, getting up 8-7 after a Stanton home run, and then ultimately losing to a walkoff HR by Tim Anderson.

    I fucked up not riding your boy last night San.

    Was over in Pittsburgh. Wrapped up around 4 and decided to play some poker. Only game going was 1/3, ran hot and was up like $1100 and my table broke after like 4 hours. There was like 10 other tables going, but thought I’d just call it a night and head home. Problem was I drank too much quickly. I frontload assuming I’ll play for 8 hours or so. I’ll drink for first four and switch to coffee.

    I won too quickly and at four hour point was going to be over if I got randomly snagged by trooper.

    So I wandered into sportsbook and saw your boy at +115. Thought watch the game and throw $500 at it and drink coffee, but game didn’t start for another 90 minutes. Wandered back out, dropped 500 at blackjack and went home. Checked score, 6-0 Angels at that point. I thought of you.

    I still don’t think we grasp the absurdity of what Ohtani is doing.

    ERA: 2.93
    OPS: 1.018
    HR #1
    STEALS #16

    His only flaw is his average is .268.

    Purely hitting I give the MVP to Vladdy Jr.

    But to factor in pitching it's Ohtani by a MILE

    Speaking of steals. You would need one of those dogs from a K-9 unit to find any positive baserunning stats for the Dodgers this year. They don’t care about small ball.

    I am pulling together my thesis for the playoffs and most notable is the one run game stat. There was ANOTHER one run loss by the Dodgers last night. That is their 21st one run loss. The playoffs are tighter games and relying on a home-run (slugging) is not a tournament success formula.

    In contrast, the Giants are otherworldly in one run games.

    the Dodgers lead Major League Baseball in men left on base with 851. Even the lowly Arizona Diamondbacks who have been the worst team in the league this year leave fewer men on base than Los Angeles.

    In waltzes smoove Trea Turner @ #4 in steals. He’s not a complete antidote for what ails the Dodgers but one hell of a bolt on. $300 million solves problems.

    Even if the season ended today it is the greatest season in the history of baseball, IMO. Dumb to compare eras of course, but generally every year that we are currently in is usually the toughest time to play in any sport. Also, its not like Babe's stats during those couple years he had the double-duty workload that Ohtani has now were any better. 2019 Ruth is basically the same as Ohtani right now.
