The Official 2020 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

[Professor K.]

Man I had the most random quick blurb badeball dream ever.

It was a pop fly to the infield and the 1st baseman gor the phillys who's name is Bowser and wore 28 (i dont eeeen know if thats a real person) was going to get the ball. For some reason the homeplate ump was running behind the baseline, the ball came up short and the 1st baseman and ump collided.

Then the ump just starts beating the shyt outta the guy with straight rights and laughing about it
He then starts walking off the field laughing the whole time and everybody was cheering for him

Among active players, Miguel Cabrera has the best chance at reaching 3,000 hits.
He's currently at 2,815.

It would be cool to see him get his 3000th hit and 500th hr at the same time.

 

[the next guy]

Among active players, Miguel Cabrera has the best chance at reaching 3,000 hits.
He's currently at 2,815.

Robinson Cano has 2,570 hits. But at 37 years old, he would have to play well into his 40s as a DH and I don't see that happening.

It will be a long time before we see another player with a real chance at 3,000.
Among guys 30 years old and under, Elvis Andrus has 1,723. But he's playing himself out of the league and middle infielders typically do not have the benefit of moving to a corner infield spot to accumulate stats in their twilight years.

Mike Trout and Manny Machado have the best shot.

If a universal DH stays, then andrus can do that next year, no?

Yes.
But Andrus just isn't a good enough hitter to put in the DH spot.

With Cano it’s doable because for the most part he’s healthy and we’re talking about 86 hits a year for the next 5 years, and he’s guaranteed to play at least the next 4.

I could see Tampa winning it. They're already used to doing that bullpenning shyt and it sounds like a lot of teams will be doing that this year.

Mike Leake is a pretty bad pitcher. He won't be missed....except for the times I stack lineups against him on Draftkings/Fanduel

Yea be afraid to use your 300 mil man

I’m still pissed AJ didn’t bring in Cole in game 7.

 

[god shamgod]

Yea be afraid to use your 300 mil man

yea the 300 mil man with a 4.43 postseason era, the lowest velocity of his career, terrible #’s in elimination games a 5.79 era in the 1st inning he pitched in 2019 which is why made no sense whatsoever to bring him in relief and they had a lefty Available who Soto & was 0-3 against
