I got a chance to see Henderson play in person for the first time today.  I’ve watched dozens of his games on TV but hadn’t had a chance to see him play live.   My observations are the following:

I learned a ton watching him today.  The kid is fearless and carries himself like a big leaguer.   You can see all the tools are there.   Honestly, I was even impressed by him spoiling an 0-2 pitch an

Thank you for this. I’d forgotten to check the Topps site today. I’m loading up on these.

Will go nicely with the 100+ 2019 Bowman Gunnar 1sts I have. Also have two 2019 Bowman Adley/Gunnar Franchise Futures dual autograph cards numbered to #99 and graded 9.5 by BGS and SGC 👍🏼

What about it?

Should be like 1981, when you had to wait nine months for the card to come out next spring, you had to buy 46 packs until you got the one you wanted (although they were 25 cents each), the photo was weirdly off-center and out of focus, and it had a stick of rock-hard bubblegum adhered to it.  Oh, and Gunnar has a perm and is wearing your Aunt Florence's glasses.  You know, the good 'ol days.

The real find is stealing the magnet-card from when he was in 11U ball from his parents' fridge.

If this involves you wearing short shorts from the era, count me out.

Dude, Oswaldo Peraza is 59 years old and he wasn't even good in '88.  But I give him some props for hanging in there this long.

Speaking of cards, I must have about 50 of his 1989 Topps. And that was a dude who, even at 7 years old and not knowing anything about baseball, I could tell just by the photo on the card that he wasn’t good.

This is why my baseball cards are worthless.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
