On the facebook feed of a good friend, I saw several of her friends saying God supports the war and that God chose Trump to save America. Just two degrees of separation away from these lunatics. That is creepy. I mean they live in New Hampshire, but still...

Another home run for Trout today. That is five home runs in the series, the most ever in one series for a visting player in Yankee Stadium.

As for Ohtani, if he isn't talked about enough(don't know if that's true), it could be because he is surreal. There has never been anybody who was a great hitter and pitcher at the same time. I think Ruth could have done it if they had a DH when he played.

This thread is taking some strange turns. First, Trout's career is over. Then he's the greatest player in the history of the game.

Another home run by Trout tonight. His 6th homer. He now has a 166 wRC+ His career is over.

Without Perez's home run, we are still watching baseball now too. Maybe not me! But everyone else would be.

Awesome slide by Baez, but Perez's home run was also the difference.

Living is smaller Irish towns can be affordable though. If I were retire to Ireland, it would be that.

Yeah, I heard that one in the 70s too.

yes, He'll be able to sign a massive contract at that time.

Awesome deal for the Tigers. I have more confidence in McGonigle continuing his success that any young Tiger in a really long time. He's got great talent and the baseball smarts to know how to use it.

I had friends that used it in the early 70s. Whenever a fight broke out among us, they would shout out "Fight, fight, n***** and a white". I never thought it was funny and knew it was wrong. I don't know whether that was a common expression at the time or whether it was just them. I had some friends from weak familiies. My house was was the main gathering place for my group of friends. I figured out out later it was because my parents were nice to them.

When Von Hayes went to the Phillies. Pete Rose said: "I was suprised to find out that you were white because everybody told me how fast you were." To give the devil his due, Rose was not racist though. He reportedly went out of his way to befriend Black players at time when things were still segregated.

The second and fifth round picks were pretty good!

I have always suspected that his career ending injury had more to do with the insane number of innings he pitched as a rookie more than overcompensating for his Spring training knee injury.

McGonigle is getting all the attention, but Dingler has been really impressive too going back to last year. Both are players who have a good chance at being players who play in multiple allstar games.

Other than 1984, That might be #1 for me.

I have heard 70 and 80. 80 is rarely every even thrown around, so just the mention is significant.

He did play in one playoff series in 2014, but they got swept the Royals. That shows that he is mentally weak and lacks the RBI mentality.

He just plays to pad his stats and increase the number of MVP and HoF votes he gets.

Trout hit two home runs tonight. His wRC+ is up to 156. For what it's worth, he also leads the Majors in runs scored.

yeah, I now see he was talking abour Rainier. Iorg got some hype from some local writers but was never that highly regarded in serious projections. Most of the hype was about his defense.

Tyler Collins and Cale Iorg are you comps for McGonigle? You're just messing with us now.

He also has an OBP of .400 and an OPS+ of 128. Lots of red on statcast too. He's not what he used to be, but it's not terrible. When I read that post, I assumed he had a serious injury.

1976 needs to be in there too.
