Let me save everyone some time; after the headline, this is the only part you really need to read:

Jed Rigney (the author) is a Los Angeles-based award-winning filmmaker who also fancies himself a baseball writer

This might be the dumbest article ever written. I don't think there is a single other soul who actually believes/thinks this.

There isn't one supportive comment below it.

Nor should there be!

I didn't bother reading those anyway though. In fact, I skimmed the article once I realized what I was getting into, before I lost any further brain cells.

After my college years I can't afford to lose many more :laughlol:

It's certainly one of the worst I've read in a while.

But, Jed, Chris Davis leads the league in -- blah blah blah. I don't care. Here's why Pujols should be the starter instead of Davis:

1. Name recognition

2. Experience

3. Career

4. Redemption

5. That name

Anyone is free to have their own All Star Game voting criteria and motivations. My own strategy and patterns for voting don't incorporate any of the points above.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      This seems to be happening quite frequently around the league. Which makes me rethink the idea of giving players early extensions in their young careers. Baseball is a difficult game and no season in a player's career is exactly like another.  Baseball is a volatile game. There's so many things that can happen to a player's habits and mechanics that can change his results in the game. (Speaking of no season being the same, how many batting stances did we see Cal Ripken Jr go through over the course of his career? ALOT.)

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      No. And having said that, Basallo is not known for his defense as a catcher either. He's known as a power hitter. Adley is by far the better catcher. Basallo has been compared to Yordan Alvarez of the Astros. Great hitter. He's in the lineup for his bat and you just hope he can play adequate defense. Any expectations of him usurping Rutschman as an every day catcher is wishful thinking. He could still develop as a catcher because he's young, in which case he could become something like the Royals' Salvador Perez. But I would in no circumstances trade Basallof for Chrochet.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By rudyrooster · Posted

      If it turns out that Bradish is done for the season or has to spend extended time on IL,  might the O's make the move to sign Trevor Bauer?  He's pitching very well in the Mexican League.  Wouldn't surprise me to see some team sign him between now and the trade deadline.  Just askin...

      I wouldn't put it past the O's offense to carry them in a similar way. But I wouldn't want to count on it, either.  (For reference on the difference, looks like Texas scored 5.71 runs/game during the postseason last year. The O's are at 5.07 runs/game this season.)

      Totally 💯 agree with you . The problem is agents like Boras are asking 8-10 years deals with pitchers opt-outs sprinkling in them .

      I'm hoping the PRP injection wasn't just buying Bradish a few months only delaying the inevitable Tommy John surgery. If Bradish ends up going under the knife there's a decent chance we won't see him again until 2026. Bradish was throwing really hard tonight so I'm hoping it's just some soreness from overexerting himself and he'll be fine with a little time off. This isn't encouraging and Elias is going to be busy working the phones for pitching help the next 45 days.
