    "Come playoff time" is also assuming and may not be so.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That's fine because I don't follow any of those leagues or associations.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That is good news.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It's all in how one defines MVP. I've stated my case and I'm pretty sure my solution will not be adopted by MLB.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I believe our own Bobby Dee will be in the top 4 or 5.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Good pick. I also like Mountcastle of the O's.

    This being said, I would give Ohtani my non-existent Player of the Year award.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Wander Franco has reached base now in 41 straight games which will probably garner him the ROY. Who holds the record for reaching base in straight games? Yup, Teddy Ballgame. 84 straight games. Who has the second most? Yup, Teddy Ballgame. 74 straight games.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree 100%. Although I can respect what Ohtani has done this season, simply amazing, but again I would vote for the player on the contending team, which means I would vote for Vlad.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'm pretty sure the chUMPIRE union won't accept this w/o a fight. Their whole existence is to protect their members, no matter how much proof is presented that they've not performed at a high level. By accepting robo umps, they're pretty much admitting the incompetence.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    True. I just don't agree with it. With or w/o Ohtani the Angels don't contend for the PO's. Does Toronto contend w/o Vlad? I think you get my point.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    To change the subject, the MLB network is discussing who should win the MVP award. Ohtani is the front runner, but should he be considered because he plays on a non-contending team? I've always felt that the MVP award should go to a player who is on a contending team. There really is a simple solution to this problem. MLB has no problem coming up with awards for just about every aspect of the game. So, just create a 'player of the year' award. It would be possible in certain years that the same player could win both MVP and Player of the Year.

    Sosa was really something. PED's weren't enough; he also had to employ tennis balls in his bat. That none of the above should ever be inducted into the HOF is, at least, some kind of punishment.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    My question is was Rose any bigger a cheater than A-rod, McGuire, Clemens, Canseco, Sosa and Bonds? I say no.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Although Id rather see Iggy playing 2nd, I understand that Arroyo has to get at bats if the SOX make the PO's. It's a tough call.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. The strike zone should be in direct relationship to the natural height of the batter. Crouching is not the natural height of the batter.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That wasn't the point of my post.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. The catcher blocks the plate at his own risk. What makes Rose an A-hole was that, I'm guessing, Fosse wasn't expecting to be run over in a meaningless game. He probably would have expected it in a meaningful game.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The main criticism bestowed on Rose for his running over Fosse was that he did it in a meaningless All-Star game. If that had happened, let's say, in a WS game, should Rose have been criticized? I'm pretty much convinced that the way Rose played the game he would run over his own mother to score, even if it was a spring training game.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I know of one such person, but I'm not a snitch.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    A Joe West Robo vacuum has a habit of just staying in one spot.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Speaking of sainthood, please check out the new limited series on Netflix called MIDNIGHT MASS. It also includes some pretty decent songs by Neil Diamond. It's directed and created by Michael Flannigan, who did some very good work on a few Stephen King novels made into movies.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Angel is the poster boy for how the chUMPS' union couldn't care less about the performance of its members.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Who was the 'replay guy?' Stevie Wonder? Cora isn't god; he screwed up and if he was god, I would have already been struck by lightning.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree 100%. However, even hitting the batter in the backside, if the chUMP deems it was intentional, a warning is given to both pitchers, which pretty much removes the inside pitch from both's repertoire.
