He was fond of the blacks tho.  

Good on him. 

He was great with black people, as long as they played in their own league. Couldn't have any Satchel Paige MFers showing him up.

Calhoun crushed that infield single last night so he’ll get 2 weeks of starting every night

[bloodbrother]

Ruth would have a heart attack the first time he saw a slider in the batters box

[DEVLBAT]

Kole Blowhoun.

[UndertheHalo]

Did we ever hear whether that catcher died or not last night ?

Not even worth talking about at this point tbh

This might turn out to be a lost year for Calhoun, but you can bet he'll be penciled into the lineup almost every night.

[John Taylor]

I don't get it. This Al Bundy guy doesn't look like he has amazing stuff yet our players (Not named Trout, Pujols or Ohtani) are whiffing like he is Cy Young

[bloodbrother]

The more Hermosillo and Blash hit, the shorter Cold Calhoun's leash gets(because he's the worst hitter in baseball)

My favorite part is you completely ignoring the part where I'm actually right that pitchers weren't throwing hard back then.

But yeah, smaller guy than Trout, none of the modern advantages, he for sure hit the ball 600 feet. That checks out.

A 6-2 215 lbs guy back then would probably be the equivalent of a 6-10 300 lbs in this era.

I don’t know if you’ve been watching for the past few weeks but they aren’t very good

...is that a trick question?

I need to check the new code of conduct rules before answering.

My bad

[Docwaukee]

I just can't believe how bad Kole is.  He had a hr and triple in gm1.  since then he's hitting .153 with a .331 ops.  That's just hard to do.  He has 3 bb, 29k and 0 xbh during that time.  His peripherals actually support how bad he's been.  

This isn't a slump.  It's way beyond that now.

No, Sabathia is fat.  Ruth was big boned, farm strength.  If he had actually lifted he had the capacity to be yoked.

The first Del Taco is out there

[bloodbrother]

Slick ass play by Cozart and nice scoop by Pujols

 

[UndertheHalo]

Slick play from Cozart.

[DEVLBAT]

That was a great play.

[JustATroutFan]

Good chit from Cozart and Pujols on that terrific defensive play!

It's an enormous mental funk.

He may need a hypnotist or something.

do you understand the difference between a religion and race?

Mexican isn't a race either, it's a nationality. You can be mexican and look 100% Native American or 100% European, Spain/Portugal are right next to France which almost everyone would consider the indigneous people to be white.
