@MatthewBerryTMR I needed 98.2 points from my five players going into MNF. The last CMC TD put me ahead. Glad Shanahan decided not to challenge the play before! #MondayNightMiracle
Is there a reason why every batter is swinging out of his shoes when a single wins the game? Did I miss when they changed it to table tennis rules and you have to win by two?
Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.
they just don't do it! they just refuse to do it because they'd rather pocket the money and know they most likely won't lose a grievance with the MLBPA because every legal system in this country is biased against labor! that's the whole story!
The closest we've had to a salary cap in MLB was the reserve clause, before players got free agency in 1975. Here are the World Series winners for the 50 years before:
Yankees: 19
Cardinals: 8
A's: 5
Dodgers: 4
Tigers: 3
Pirates: 3
Orioles: 2
Reds: 2
Giants: 2
Mets: 1
Braves: 1
It turns out the Red Sox weren't being cheap with Duran. They were working on a bigger deal and getting it done didn't fit within the deadline for settling on arbitration numbers.
But of course Red Sox Twitter had it all figured out from the beginning, like they always do.
I think my main 2025 hall of fame ballot beef is gonna coalesce around voters who are checking for the catchers (McCann, Martin) and leaving off players who were actually great (Pedroia, Félix).
