MLB 2020/2021 Off-Season Thread

Interesting. Beane is brilliant but he’s been around baseball his whole life. I’m curious as to what he offers on the soccer side of things.

[gunnar hendershow]

Beans already partially owns two clubs I believe as part of his own business ventures. Curious what happens there once he's brought into FSG.

[Meacon Keaton]

Kershaw has been scratched from tonight’s start.

[Maxx]

Steve Sax, currently serving 6 consecutive life sentences, wants us to feel bad for Jose Altuve and his yips.

[Meacon Keaton]

Nah

[gunnar hendershow]

It's like the trashcan helped him throw too.

[Meacon Keaton]

Easier to clear your mind and play the field when you’re hitting .330 and not .230.

[ThrillhouseMAX]

Holy fuck, Dodgers.

[gunnar hendershow]

The Braves have had a 1st inning like that 2 years running now.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Never thought I'd be actively rooting for the Rays but here we are.

[The Buscher]

Astros coming back from 3-0 to win the series would be peak 2020.

[gunnar hendershow]

Fucking Astros

[The Buscher]

I will not watch one second of a Braves/Astros World Series.

[GhostMachine]

Me, either. But I'll hope the Braves win.

 

 

[gunnar hendershow]

Some more positive baseball news.

 

[The Buscher]

Every baseball fan who isn’t an Astros fan can come together as one tonight to celebrate the Rays winning the pennant as if their own team won it.  Bye bye cheating Astros!

[GhostMachine]

I've not been on Facebook since early yesterday morning, but I cannot wait to see how all the high and mighty Asstros fans are reacting now, considering their attitudes in most baseball discussions.

And yes, some people on FB have been calling the team either than Asstros (ASStros as an alternate spelling) or the Astericks..

If we get Braves-Rays, I am for the Rays, but may not watch.

If we get Dodgers-Rays, I will be for the Dodgers.

The Braves are our regional team, despite Knoxville being about the same distance from Cincinnati and Atlanta, so they get shoved down our throats on the news. (Fortunately FOX Sports South carries Reds games) And Braves merchandise used to be the easiest find here, until stores started to realize that most Braves fans are either old people (seriously, I rarely see anyone under 60 wearing Braves hats) or bandwagoners who only care when the team is doing great. When they had that long NL East streak and went to several World Series back in ther 90's, I saw tons of people in Braves gear. Ever since then, its been sparce.

I don't get it. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Back dat Azztros up.

Bandwagonners are fine. People should embrace bandwagoners. The 2015/2016 Jays run was seriously so fun and some of the people I watched the games with were people who were self-proclaimed bandwagoners.
