  1. Baseball is the only sport where mangers and coaches wear uniforms because it’s the only sport in which they are allowed on the playing field…
  2. Except that you don’t care about prospects…
  3. Yes, but it’s very odd. There are not many Hall of Famers who don’t have their numbers retired as it is (John Smoltz and Alan Trammell don’t), but the list of Hall of Famers whose number was retired for a much lesser player has to be really short. It would be like watching the Red Sox retire #24. Not for Dwight Evans and not for Manny Ramirez, but instead for Mike Stanley…
  4. No, but I think it is against a league average. So a low total of innings would affect it in that case…
  5. Combs played his whole career in NY, and they retired him number for another guy with an OPS some 200 points lower…
  6. Maris is on the very short list of eligible players with two MVP awards that are not in Cooperstown. I’m ok with the number being retired for him. (Dale Murphy and Juan Gonzalez are the rest of the list.) Nettles should be best remembered for stuffing a bat with super balls, only to have it break and scatter super balls all over the diamond…
  7. No fair!! Some of those owners will miss some very critical tee times!!
  8. What would the mystery be?
  9. UZR/150 is scaled up, but if a player isn’t playing much and has limited action when he is on the field, getting a negative UZR isn’t that difficult. And then simply scaling it to a larger number of games just exacerbates a potential inaccuracy…
  10. I would have liked a real season. We just had a shortened season 2 years ago…
  11. Negotiations work like that sometimes. To get something you want, occasionally you have to relent on something you prefer not to…
  12. I actually like the idea. To add to the excitement, have mid-season regulation. I.E if a team drops their payroll from a top 15 to a bottom 15 mid-season, they switch leagues as well…
  13. As long as it’s an effective negotiating tool/threat…
  14. Maybe he can find himself a good deal to play in 1945 or so…
  15. I think the players need to bring a hard bat to the negotiating table…
  16. “Netzer’s Nazis”?
  17. Yeah he should find work REAL soon. Doesn’t he know he’s not good enough to be controversial??
  18. f*** them. Yes I’m talking to you, Bob Nutting and John Fisher…
  19. Probably some growing cynic.
  20. So no Brett Netzer in 2022 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-red-sox-release-minor-211437553.html
  21. The NFL really does need to break away from their heavy advertising deals with Cialis and Viagra and start new deals with Cottonelle and Angel Soft…
  22. Also don’t forget his appearance on “Seinfeld.” I believe the Yankee FO is already planning a ceremony to retire the number of Danny Tartabull, as well…
  23. Combs was inducted into Cooperstown and won 3 WS rings in his 12 seasons in the Bronx. Pennock won 3 WS rings in the Bronx and was also inducted into Cooperstown. Gordon won 4 WS rings on the Yankees, won an MVP Award in NY, and was inducted into Cooperstown. I’m not saying the Yankees retire too many numbers. I’m saying the Yankees retire the wrong ones sometimes. There’s no argument O’Neill was better and more deserving than these 3 players. Try to make one. (And bringing up Gordon only playing 7 years in NY is an opportunity to mention his tenure in the Bronx was interrupted by his WWII service. O’Neill has no such equivalent.)
  24. Yea for all the people fed up with the pace of play of baseball, we now bring you soccer!! And if that’s too much, maybe watch the New England Deluxe Satins open their season against the Detroit Glossy Reds as the Natuonal Paint Drying League season poises to open!
  25. 2022 or 2023?
