How come I’m not feeling any Dodgers-love in this thread???? Do I need to keep posting pics of my crush and the best catcher in the league to drum up interest? 😉

 

I didn't want to jinx them!

I think my chances would be better if I just let @TonyDown go first to tire him out before I go for it.  😆

I doubt if Shohei would let me steal home.  Probably go in head first, in my dreams.

Just don't let Jada catch you.

If there is any truth to the rumors, Jada is dealing with it. 🙄

@sync I feel selfish steeling your thunderstick.  I'm willing to be with my other crush, and let you carry on with Shohei

Looking like the Dodgers gonna win it all. Their offense is just so overwhelming. I'd say they beat the Yankees in 5 and Guardians in 4.

BOOM!

Congratulations to the Brooklyn Dodgers!

Brings back the memory of my mother never forgiving the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn. 😆

If the Dodgers close it out in game 4 this will actually go down as an eh world series overall despite the walk off grand slam in game one. Speaking of that Freddie Freeman MVP easily too right now.

Thanks I went to a lot of Braves Dodgers.games when the Braves. Were in Boston

I never did either. Now I live in SoCal, but I still won't root for them.

Apparently helps to be named Will Smith if you want to win a World Series…Odd statistic here:

There are some wild stats in baseball history. Stan Musial had 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 hits on the road during his Hall of Fame career. Khris Davis batted...

Don't think the NHL's Will Smith will win the Stanley Cup being on the worst team in that league. The San Jose Sharks:

YOU MADE A MISTAKE... that pic isn't Austin Barnes.

Dodgers Exercise Club Option On Austin Barnes

CONGRATS!

Luis Gil screwed both the Yankees and orioles by winning rookie of the year.

If Austin wells or Colin cowser had won, their team would have gotten an extra draft pick but Gil was not eligible because he had not been on preseason top 100 lists.

If Austin wells or Colin cowser had won, their team would have gotten an extra draft pick but Gil was not eligible because he had not been on preseason top 100 lists.

And Paul Skenes winning rookie of the year screwed the Pirates the exact same way:

If a player is on certain top 100 prospect lists and is promoted early enough in the season to earn a full service year, that player can earn his club a bonus draft pick depending on awards voting. On the flip side, if such a player is not promoted early enough to get a full year but managed to finish top two in Rookie of the Year voting regardless, that player earns himself a full year of service retroactively.

Had Skenes been promoted earlier in the year, this award would have netted the Bucs an extra draft pick. But since he was held down into May, they were not eligible to receive that pick. Skenes, on the other hand, will now have a full year of service time. That is significant for him as he is now slated to reach free agency after the 2029 season, his age-27 campaign. Under previous collective bargaining agreements, his free agency would have been one year further into the future.
