[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1366506]He covers 1st base, it's 5-0, the errors don't matter. And errors at least involve trying. He just chose to not bother. Then after he doesn't. He gives up 4 more runs to tie it. He's going to be a villain for life in NYC.[/quote]

Weird that some people are blaming Rizzo. Rizzo was expecting Cole to be there, and he should have been 110%. Can’t just leave your guy hung out to dry. Fucking hustle.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

That play by Cole was abysmal but credit to Betts for recognizing what was happening and hustling down the line instead of half-assing it like a lot of players would.

Overall the series wasn't great. Kind of average as far as series go with the exception of game 1 and Fat Joe's performance.

I can't believe it was only a one game ban

As a Red Sox fan I really enjoyed seeing them implode in that 5th inning and giving the game they should have won to the Dodgers. I didn't want a Game 6, bury the A-holes was my thought and I'm glad it happened in an embarrassing way.

Dodgers were the better team. Justice served. Freeman went on a tear. Will never forget his grand slam to win game 1.

O's hand QO to Santander and Burnes. Would love to see Burnes back but I think he will be in pinstripes. Santander great story but hope he declines the QO.

My question: are the Yankees gonna resign Soto?

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1367110]My question: are the Yankees gonna resign Soto?[/quote]Great question. Not sure but likely. Could see it also being the Mets or Astros also. He can pretty much name his price at this point. Would be pretty devastating to the Yanks if they did not sign him.

Thoughts on the golden at bat?

Absolutely no

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

That's where I am at too. Baseball is so unique in sports, where when the game is on line you can't always have your best player up that is why there are so many players that have cult followings compared to NBA, NFL they get a chance to shine on their own

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

[quote=BaltimoreSkins;1368732]Thoughts on the golden at bat?[/quote]

Terrible idea

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

The Golden at Bat is the worst idea in the history of ideas. Even the name of it is lame af.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Soto should pick a team soon. Looks like Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, and Red Sox in the mix. Interested to see who he picks.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Mets land Soto for a king's ransom:

765 million dollars/15 years

Interested to see what the Yankees do now. Cohen isn't messing around and got his guy. An absurd amount to spend on 1 player but Soto is legit.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

The Mets won the offseason, still got holes to fill with starting pitching and the bullpen

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Are the Soto jerseys ordered yet?

First Mets rocking him is awesome, second, I’m just over the moon the Yankees didn’t get him

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

As soon as his number 22 is official I'm sure jerseys will be up for sale

Uhhh, I'd much rather have him on the Yankees than the Mets. Not looking forward to facing him double-digit games every season.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Glad Soto has signed so a lot of these other free agents can sign. A lot of talent available including Fried, Burnes, Alonso, etc. Also Sasaki should be signing next month with a MLB franchise as he's supposed to be the next pitching stud.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Max Fried to the Yankees on a 218 million dollar deal. Good signing for them. You can never have enough good lefties in Yankee Stadium.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

I love Max Fried. He was my favorite Braves player for the last few seasons. But no way we could have matched anything near that contract. So, it's shitty, but it just wasn't possible to keep him.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Burnes should be the best pitcher available now. He is a great pitcher and whoever gets him will get a stud. Interested to see where he lands and the numbers involved.
