I was attempting humor based on the name of a real one time competitor whose moniker bore a similarity to the name of a feature film I wrote. It was not meant as real ticket purchasing advice. In the future, I will consider providing an “attempted joke disclaimer”‘with such posts to avoid confusion and unnecessary corrections
@franklinleonard@jamestalarico I still like Moneyball... (but don't get me started on its accuracy and actual relevance to the game as its really played... and oh yeah, did they forget about the A's pitching staff that year? Nevermind, Moneyball doesn't hold up)
@EricPed29623116@forrestjordan11 The George years were mostly bad, too, if we’re being honest — they reached lows the Hal teams haven’t come close to and hopefully never will
@TPockesci@forrestjordan11 Yeah — young fans today have no idea. From 87-92 the highest finish was 4th. They once finished SEVENTH. (Stump Merrill). My high school years were brutal as a Yankee fan.
Highly paid mercenaries?
ALDS lineup
Rice (homegrown)
Bellinger (HPM -- high paid merc)
Luis Garcia (still in arb years)
Spencer Jones (homegrown rook)
Jazz (still in arb year)
Grisham (on Qualifying offer)
Wells (homegrown)
McMahon (MPM -- medium paid merc)
ALDS ROTATION
Schlittler (homegrown)
Cole (HPM)
Fried (HPM)
PEN
Bednar (still in arb)
Blackburn (2mm FA, LPM --- low paid merc)
Headrick (claimed off waivers, pre-arb)
Warren (pre arb)
Weathers (arb year)
The HPM rep is outdated. Even with Judge back, he's high paid but not a merc, he's homegrown.
@SleeperYankees All due respect to Brosius, but even tho both are out of baseball, I'll take 35 yo Gio over 60 yo Brosius. But I hope those aren't my only choices.
@MikeSalvatore10 He got Ohtani. If Verdugo doesn't fall into the stands and advance the runner, things may be different. Without 1B open, I think he pitches to Mookie and gets him.
@HighPunchLove33@DeGenZGZ Over the first 10 years of their careers, Judge’s teammates: .737 OPS. Jeter’s: .799 OPS
The lack of rings isn’t all on Judge
I like both. But I DO think the Aykroyd parts are underrated as to what makes that first film work in a way that subsequent installments haven't. The first film actually has the vibe of real creepiness / occult adventure that grounds it in a way that the others never quite get to.
@realQuendrith@Variety I haven’t seen the movie yet so I can’t comment on it or the REDACTED actress in question or how her performance affects your points. But I’ll keep them in mind
Yeah — to me, this Dodger team is closer to 76-81 Yanks. 2/6. 4 WS appearances. Although, I feel like that was a burgeoning dynasty that got derailed by the tragic midseason death of Munson, their Captain, in ‘79. They understandably missed the playoffs that year. Then bounced back to 103 wins before getting swept by KC. The magic was gone. And then in 82, Reggie was gone too
