Odds shark, draft kings, etc

Just when we thought Shohei was going to be shelved as a pitcher for the year he goes out and throws 8 innings with 10 punches. Damn.

That was MVP acceptance speech.

Yep, Chewing is a moron, Othani got the MVP on lockdown, we haven't seen anything like him in our lifetime.

[Patrick Chewing]

So what you guys are saying is that if Ohtani decides to pitch for the next 10 years, that he's the MVP for the next 10 years, simply because he is also pitching as opposed to only hitting??

Is he going to be hitting 45 bombs and OPSing .950 while pitching for those 10 years? If so, yes.

I doubt it plays out like that though so you're safe.

Even when there is another hitter that hits more bombs and has a higher OPS??


You're not making the case for Ohtani here.

Yea because (and we've already been through this)....Guerrero isn't also one of the best pitchers in the league. He doesn't have the ability.

It's weird to me that you don't consider that fact to be important. It's not "he can pitch". It's "he's one of the best starters in the American League". HUGE distinction that I feel like you're just completely ignoring.

Chewing doesn't get it, pitchers for the most part are automatic outs because that's not the reason they're in the big leagues, vice versa you can't put some 3rd baseman with a gun as an arm to pitch also and expect him to be a quality pitcher, the fact that Othani can do both at an elite level is something we haven't seen in our lifetime, it's that rare

st louis crushing the Brewers for a umpteenth victory .... are the brewers crushin' ??

[BurningHammer]

Jays vs Yankees series in Toronto starting this Tuesday will be thrilling.

[BurningHammer]

Stanton beasted it for Game 1, Yankees win.

Jays have to win the next two or they are out.

[Patrick Chewing]

Five games left? I'm wondering if Stanton can get to 40 homeruns. Dude has been crushing the ball as of late. With the amount of games he missed, getting to 40 homers is quite an achievement.

[BurningHammer]

Jays beat Yankees tonight with 2 homers from Bo Bichette.

Both Red Sox and Mariners win. So, Yankees' wild card lead is down to +1.0, followed by Red Sox, Mariners, and Jays.

It is down to the wire. 4-team tie is possible as well.

Got tickets for Braves/Brewers game 3 at Truist. I’m pumped it’s gonna be electric
