MLB 2021 season: Corn-Driven Humidity

[Ar-Pharazon]

Not promoting beanballs here, but after 6 recent games vs the Padres, seeing that BS with the bling chain after a home run makes me wonder why there haven't been a few fastballs between their eyes. That's some Bautista level bitch class garbage.

FYI, we took 5 out of 6, and they do that shit even when they're losing.

Rant over.

My mistake. It's a "swag chain" and there's many YT videos besides this one.

O.K., I can see the need for a bit of the olde time Bob Gibson chin-music.

To go back farther look up Sal "The Barber"

Oh, wow, I've never seen that.

And yeah, that's really obnoxious.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I was aware of it, but only really saw it when they were playing the Cubs.

@Timby, I'm curious, do you buy into any of this conspiracy stuff that players like Pete Alonso and Will Middlebrooks are propounding, regarding MLB purposely screwing with the ball to affect the free agent market?

I highly doubt MLB is competent enough to pull that off without it leaking.

Link please.

Here you go.

If it was anyone besides Rob Manfred, I'd feel skeptical.

 

[Timby]

If it was anyone besides Rob Manfred, I'd feel skeptical.

When Manfred was MLB's COO, he was the chief of its investigative unit, which handled some infamously bizarre and botched investigations (like the Alex Rodriguez / Biogenesis thing, and some insane human trafficking shit with Cuba) that leaked almost immediately. The man has no capacity to keep his people quiet.

And now deGrom's hurt.

 

[Timby]

And now deGrom's hurt.

Apparently he said it's something that's been bothering him for a while and he doesn't plan to miss a start.

Which, given the Mets' medical history, means he was mauled by wolves earlier this week, he's clinically dead, and these are just the final death spasms before rigor mortis sets in.

The Cubs-Cardinals are on national TV right now, and it made me think of these cards that I thankfully didn't spend much money on.

Phillies beat the Yankees!

Always loved those Donruss card with the bright colors, Upper Deck was too snooty.

And too expensive for a teenager who's only income was cutting lawns.
