I'm finishing this Pete Rose documentary on HBO Max.

4 parts.
1 hour each.

Pete Rose is a complicated character. Likely a compulsive liar.

But he was a great hitter. He should be in the HOF.
Just came across that last night. Planning to watch it this week. Agree, he should be in the HoF.



He's been on fire lately. Making $5 mil the rest of the way. Someone has to pick himup.

I swear this dude went yard today for them.

Lettuce point out that the spiders team were full of guys off the street and were just completely disbanded after

This white Sox team is the worst actual team in baseball history

Regarding Josh Bell....

Yeah I don't think he's really that valuable anymore.
Long swing. Too many ground balls. Just doesn't have the power profile you're looking for out of 1B.

Maybe if this was the old days where teams still played on astroturf, you might think "Okay he hits the ball hard and on the ground, but with our turf, he'd still get a lot of base hits" -- not that teams thought in that way....I'm just saying that's a strange way that you could justify acquiring him.

He doesn't even have great platoon stats where you might just use him against Lefties -- similar to how JD Martinez is still valuable.
