    Sure, DaShawn. He is a bad player and has received more playing time than he actually deserves. I don't expect someone like you to understand. One day you might actually understand the game.

    Pissed the phillies got Bader and Duran, while my Mets got Helsley and Mullins 😏

    No offense to the author, but this is one of the dumbest headlines I've ever read. If you wanted to write this during or immediately after his hot May, I'd somewhat understand it. But now? Come on. He may be on the roster next year but only because this team isn't going to try too hard before Jenkins and Culpepper (or others) are ready to form a core or players. players

    You have to be DaShawn Sr. There's simply no other explanation for how hard you defend the guy. He's not been unlucky. His xwoba is just as bad as his wOBA. He's just been unplayable man. Come to understand this.

    Puckett. Absolute scumbag.
  6. NYCTK
    Because he correctly recognizes that Keirsey has no future as a MLB player.
  7. NYCTK
    Exclusively terrible owners and THE franchise player turned out to be a huge POS. The entire franchise is cursed.
  8. NYCTK
    You, quite literally, cannot.

    Not a chance. MLB is probably pretty happy with the run scoring environment. For 2025 the 4.47 R/G is below the median (4.55) but within normal deviation. 2013-2015 (4.07-4.25) was far more extreme than what we see today. As was 2019 (4.86).

    Sabato is the same as McCusker. Good on them to keep fighting to get to AAA but they haven't actually earned a MLB job. Neither has any defensive value and they both strike out in a third of their trips to the plate in AAA. The internal evaluation is the same the external evaluation. Sabato ain't ****.

    Mostly because current hitters are so much better (and the strike zone tightened up) that he'd have to labor so much more to get through those same starts.
  13. NYCTK
    Only baseball fans could ever think that current talent doesn't come close to talent from 50 years ago. Propose that about any other sport and everyone will laugh at you. Take the NBA, I'm sure Bob McAdoo was a good player, but put him in the league in 2025 and we'd all laugh at how outmatched he was. Same goes with Fran Tarkenton. But baseball fans will convince themselves that Jim Palmer would still be the best pitcher in the sport if he were teleported to 2025.
  14. NYCTK
    I'm more so saying, objectively, the players are better. As an opinion, I just think this game is better in addition. Part of that is the fact that the ballparks are better too, which is again objectively true.
  15. NYCTK
    Are games less interesting? Depends on what you're looking for but like you mentioned, the game used to be played on glorified painted concrete. And for everyone lamenting how MLB is dying, attendance is about 2x as high in 2025 than it was in 1975 too. I'll take 2025 MLB over 1975 MLB every day of the week.
  16. NYCTK
    Well, those people are just wrong.
  17. NYCTK
    I think I'd rather see him in the bullpen.

    It's less that. It's the same reason no TV show will ever rival the ratings of MASH ever again. Or why the singular blockbuster of 2025 is no longer as culturally relevant as Gone With The Wind or Star Wars. It's not that TV is worse, or movies are worse, and definitely isn't that baseball is worse. There's a constant stream of entertainment into anyone's brain at a moment's notice. The players today are better than those of yesteryear, but baseball, and sports, no longer has a monopoly on attention. Mr Beast is more popular with kids than Bobby Witt Jr, even though Witt is better than most of the stars you looked up to as a kid.
  19. NYCTK
    I think he just has terrible instincts or is completely unable to slow down the game. Explains why he's such a terrible fielder as well. Too bad, with two good tools he could have been a valuable player.
  20. NYCTK
    In the last 10 years, 8 different teams have won the World Series.
  21. NYCTK
    First, there's never been a billion dollar contract in baseball. But regardless, why? Why are you against a player getting paid what they're worth? Ownership propaganda is already working. It's just this:
  22. NYCTK
    Well, this is why a smart GM trades them because there really isn't a difference between 72 and 58. Striving for mediocity is why the Twins have been such a massive disappointment and Twins fans should ask for more.
  23. NYCTK
    What good is a playoff game 1 starter on a 72 win team next year?
  24. NYCTK
    You take the Dodgers, and I get the other 11 playoff contenders. Then we'll see who's smart! Ridiculous argument man.
  25. NYCTK
    What this tells me is you have no evidence to even suggest that the league is struggling outside of the fact that the Twins suck. B-b-but there's no parity! (please ignore the best team in baseball) I ask everyone, if MLB is struggling so much like the doomsday prophets here wanna claim, how did the Pohlads allegedly receive around $400 Million for 20% of their ownership of the Minnesota Twins?
