  1. [h=1]Red Sox Reportedly Showing Interest In Freddie Freeman[/h]https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/red-sox-rumors-freddie-freeman.html I would love to see him in this lineup.
  2. And scheduled Double Headers!
  3. Did LHBs have an advantage because of the positioning of defenders (making a living off the 4-3 hole) or did they have an advantage because they see predominantly RHP and see it better than RHB do? If a lefty hits a ball to the right side, the fielder has a much shorter and easier throw for the out than if a RHB pulls the ball to the left side. The lefty does get an advantage running to 1st base.
  4. Not regularly, but he did do it.
  5. if a big lug like Papi could drop a bunt down 3B, I think most major leaguers could do it.
  6. Even superstars should be able to lay down a bunt once in a while to keep the defense honest.
  7. Talk about tough love.
  8. I would hope that the players would eventually adjust to the shift and the new generation of Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn’s would start having success at putting the ball in play and using the whole field. It is hard for me to fathom that the adjustment hasn’t already happened. Why players won’t take the free base by laying down a bunt is beyond me.
  9. Now, they are messing with the MLB.tv. For many years, you would get almost every game except for local games. Now, they are selling hundreds of games to Apple TV and Peacock. You need 3 subscriptions plus local cable to get all of the games. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/mlb-apple-friday-night-baseball-streaming-deal.html
  10. If they were more considerate of fans when making decisions addressing the length of the games and other issues, I think they would increase attendance and viewership enormously, and these dopes would have a growing and renewing fan base and more money for the greedy bastards to split up.
  11. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/mlb-announces-postponement-of-games-through-april-14.html No games until April 14th. The idiots that run the game and the players union are ruining the game and neither side has any consideration for the fans who pay for everything. It disgusts me.
  12. The money people of MLB are going to screw up another season.
  13. Does Luke Voit know how to play 1B.
  14. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2022/02/22/goose-gossage-blasts-state-mlb-rob-manfred-brian-cashman/6891954001/ i always respected Goose and hated to see him on the mound. I agree with almost everything he is reported to have said in this article, and I would love to see him punch Manfred in the nose. I am not sure why he wants to put Cashman headfirst in a garbage can, but I would enjoy seeing that too.
  15. O’Neill was much better than Ellsbury, but borderline for getting his number retired even with the Yankee’s low standards.
  16. Boggs and Clemens riding horses. Vomit.
  17. Tiant got an endorsement for Yankee Franks. In the commercial, he would say, “It’s great to be with a wiener” as he took a bit of the frankfurter. Every time I saw that commercial, I was very sad.
  18. The Nation has become a totalitarian state under these owners.
  19. speculation is that his death was a suicide.
  20. shocking [h=1]Jeremy Giambi Passes Away[/h]https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/jeremy-giambi-passes-away.html
  21. It looks like the masters of the baseball universe are hellbent on administering a black eye to the sport with this lockout. Will the the regular season start on time? Will they have a full, abbreviated or no Spring Training?
  22. It’s amazing how the people who profit lucratively from a sport that sells itself can manage to ruin the business end of things.
  23. They signed him as a free agent following the 2008 season. He immediately had a knee operation and didn’t play for the Red Sox until June 2009 and played 27 games for them.
  24. Didn’t the Red Sox sign him knowing that he needed knee surgery after picking him up late the previous season and he never played again for the Red Sox.
  25. Matt Andriese has left the country signing to play in Japan. Luckily for him that the Japanese fans don’t boo.
