The artist formerly known as Mookie - his bat speed now oof. SuperAids is no joke
Judge 77. Teo/Pages 72. Betts 68
Oneil Cruz swings bat too fast that why he strikes out. Lulz. He’s a carnival sideshow
Fun to take a gander whilst you bet Jazz Chisholm HR at +EV +475

If you gave me 100 guesses what would have fucked up Mookie Betts this year, I would not have picked "Influenza A SuperAIDS destroys his body during spring training" as a possibility.Originally Posted by Sanlmar
Seriously... what healthy, in shape guy in his early 30s has this happen to them? Never seen this before with any athlete. Just not the same player this year.
Anyway, Chase Burns got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT in Boston today.
1/3 inning, 7 R, 5 ER
I was listening to the local Red Sox radio play by play. The guys in the booth suspected in real time that Red Sox manager, Alex Cora, had a read on Chase Burns. They felt Chase was tipping his pitches cause he was so nervous. Alex Cora’s knack for reading pitchers is legendary if not infamous.
Burns is not The Miz but he will be fine, I think.
Happy Bobby Bonilla DAY, if there any youngins hanging around here and doesn't know what this is... it was one of the first deferred payment structured contracts in MLB, Bonilla still receives a check from the NYM for $1.19 million dollars every July 1st until the year 2035, hasn't played since 2001....
The calendar has turned to July 1, and that means one thing: It's time for Mets fans everywhere to wish each other a Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why? On Tuesday, 62-year-old Bobby Bonilla will collect a check for $1,193,248.20 from the New York Mets, as he has and will every July 1 from 2011 through 2035.

well in reality Bobby should buy his agent a gift every July 1st... Bobby does give his agent credit in this short clip...Sanlmar: Was I supposed to buy a gift?

Good news for Sanlmar.
Mookie is losing in Phase 2, as is Tommy Edman, as is Muncy. Teoscar is #4 among outfielders, while Pages is #6.
Dodgers would still have 3 starters in the lineup with Ohtani, Freeman, and Smith. It wouldn't surprise me if they were rigging these others to lose, so as to not look ridiculous that almost the entire NL starter squad is comprised of Dodgers.
just funny:

Faggot needs a pro player coming to his work and fucking with his shit.
-120 Mookie is a no show in the All Star Game
The voters listened to you, San. Mookie will (likely) not take the field in the All Star Game.

Reserves will be chosen later, as will pitchers. I am guessing no Dodgers will be chosen as reserves, given they have 3 starters already, except possibly Andy Pages because he's got a good story.
I wonder if the NL will choose Misiorowski as a pitcher, even though he's had 4 starts. There are a number of good NL starters they can pick this year, though, including some surprise success stories such as Robbie Ryan, Matt Boyd, and Clay Holmes. Obviously Wheeler, Skenes, Yamamoto, and Sale are going.
Pretty surprised Javy Baez was picked. He has a .783 OPS.
Ronald Acuna has had only 123 AB, but at least he's hit very well in his limited action.
No surprise that Judge/Ohtani were lead vote-getters. They're both on their way to back-to-back MVPs.
Thank goodness this broadcast of 3000 wasn’t marred by Joe Davis in the booth. Was I really gonna have to follow the record listening to White Sox broadcast?
Let’s see if dodgers can spare Kershaw the embarrassing L for time immemorial
Kershaw will absolutely be the last 3000 so pretty special take tonight
Wow, what a way to end.
Nice for Kershaw that his accomplishment won't be marred by, "Well, he got to 3000, BUT... he also lost to the White Sox while at home!"
Instead, Dodgers plated 3 in the bottom of the 9th to walk it off, and not even on the HR ball.
Almost 100% Kershaw retires this year if he can play in the World Series, and the Dodgers win it. That's all he wants now -- to get a World Series ring in a full season where he actually contributes. Last year felt like a non-accomplishment to him, from a personal standpoint.
Otherwise, he has over 200 wins (but nowhere near 250), he has 3000 K, and he's 37 years old and physically hurting. He'd really like to get that ring he's part of, and stroll out of MLB for good with his 2.51 career ERA, 1.012 WHIP, over 200 wins, and over 3000 K.
That 2016 season where he pitched 149 innings and walked 11 (!!) still amazes me.
If Kershaw got his 3000 and the Dodgers lost the conversation would have this day being the perfect metaphor for Kershaw’s career.Wow, what a way to end.

I’m actually glad things turned out as they did. There is no point to piling on Kershaw any more. Ellen and the kids. The Kershaw class. I think he’s found peace with his career. He’s a good guy.
Ellen just did an interview of her husband. His habits and superstitions. What he is like mood-wise on game day. I need to find it.
NL central kinda took over from AL Central last year, but gotta show some love for a walk off bunt.
