Still shaking my head that TO management thought they would land Ohtani. Pass the pipe, dude. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted Monday at 04:08 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:08 AM So who was the NLCS MVP? So many stars to choose from. Was it Ohtani? Or maybe Mookie? Or maybe Freddie Freeman playing through pain? Nope. It was some guy named Tommy Edman that the Dogers picked up just before the trade deadline. Dodgers' unlikely hero Edman wins NLCS MVP https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/3104294/amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted Monday at 05:04 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:04 PM hoping for a Dodgers series win 1- Teoscar 2- Ohtani- perhaps the best baseball player ever- at least up to now. MLB really needs a true/hard salary cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB really needs a true/hard salary cap. Agreed. Money doesn't guarantee you a World Series but no money guarantees no World Series. I'm calling this series The Best Team Money Can Buy vs The Best Team Money Can Buy in 2039 Edit: And I can't cheer for either team so I hope there is a way for both teams to lose.

nuckin_futz Posted Wednesday at 05:54 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:54 AM We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela. “Fernandomania” swept through baseball in 1981 when the 20-year old rookie sensation began the season 8-0 with a 0.50 ERA. The lefthander capped off his incredible year by winning both the NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Awards while helping lead Los Angeles to a World Series title. Valenzuela pitched 17 Major League seasons, was a 6-time All-Star, and has the most wins (173) and strikeouts (2,074) of any Mexican-born pitcher. He spent the last 22 years as a Spanish language broadcaster for the Dodgers, who retired his No. 34 in 2023. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted Wednesday at 10:55 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:55 PM Manfred expects automated strike zone within next 4 years. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesday that it's only a matter of time before the league adopts some version of an automated strike zone. "I think you will see some version of the automated strike zone in the big leagues in the next four years," Manfred told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday. "The technology piece of it is so robust. Literally, the path of the pitches is tracked good to 1/100th of an inch. It's hard to ignore that technology." Triple-A games have been using a fully automated strike zone since the beginning of the 2023 season. The league was also testing out a challenge system during that time and made the permanent switch to it in June. "We have decided that we're going to test the challenge version. There's two versions of ABS (automated ball-strike system). One where every pitch gets called in the umpire's ear, and the other that's a challenge system. We're going to test the challenge system in spring training with major-league players." Manfred's contract runs through the 2028 campaign. He previously said he plans to step down when his deal expires in January 2029. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
