The Official 2021 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

[Brozay]

its talked about it just hasn’t been made public (besides that cardinals game). Dudes gluing their fingers to the ball and shyt

Apparently that’s about to change and the league is about to crackdown heavy on this

mlb on Instagram: Johnny Cueto threw 97 pitches today ... and not one of them was the same


I’d be heated on game day knowing I gotta go up against him every season

I was coming in here to post this

Well, when Buxton, Kepler, Cave all on the IL, Twins literally got nobody except him to throw out there. Hes hitting though

Why is GOATsnyder even playing center to begin with

 

[Tommy Fits]

Jacob deGrom has missed two starts this year... He still is the MLB leader in fWAR.

Wait till y’all see the boneheaded play the Nats just had against my Braves

The Tigers had a winning month of May. AJ Hinch should win Manager of the Year for that alone. He is a miracle worker.

Would've been harder if they were red and white

Carlos Martinez is one of the biggest disappointments I've seen. He has pretty solid career numbers but this guy shoulda been up there with deGrom for best pitcher in baseball. His stuff was off the charts.

Speaking of Yankees prospects who never really lived up to the hype in the last 25-ish years:

Mike Lowell
Nick Johnson
Jesus Montero
Joba Chamberlain
Jose Tabata - not super hyped but people thought he could one day win a batting title.
Eric Duncan -- man, I read so much shyt about that guy.
Drew Henson

There haven't really been any pitching prospects for the Yankees to have been hyped over.
I mean, Joba was more of a media hype machine than actual scout hype.

Phil Hughes had a decent career and I really think he got off track when he hurt his groin vs Texas (I forget when it happened exactly)
Around the time that Hughes was getting his hype, there were thoughts that Ian Kennedy could be good, but not great. I think he was more of a college star than anything.

Then there was that year when they took Andrew Brackman. I think they drafted him knowing he would need TJ surgery. Or something like that. What a disaster that shyt was.
Brackman went 30th in 2007. High risk, high reward, I guess. Notable guys who went after Brackman include Todd Frazier, Travis d'Arnaud, and Josh Donaldson. All of which could have been great trade pieces or starters for them.
...Giancarlo Stanton went in the 2nd round to the Marlins in 2007, and Freddie Freeman went to ATL. So there's also that.

Mike Lowell has like 200+ career homers and a few all star appearances. He had a good career. I remember wishing the Giants had him instead Alfonzo
