@EricIrving134 @TheMetsX Well that’s completely different from “panning out” because a prospect becoming a major league regular is the indicator of success.

Yankee fans taking offense to this while not understanding it’s a compliment to Rice just goes to show you how dumb of an overall fanbase this is
Reading comprehension is NOT difficult
Unbiased Mets Fan@TheMetsX
Carson Benge can’t hit a beach ball yet somehow this slapdick 26 year old prospect becomes Barry Bonds Baseball sucks

@EricIrving134 @TheMetsX The Yankees have produced a load of major league quality players. I’m sorry that they only produced one all time level hitting talent in the crop of players since 2017.
English
@TheMetsX I understood it🖐️
On a serious note the Yankees haven’t had a real prospect pan out since Aaron Judge back in 2017. Long time coming on this one…

@nise_yoshimi I think it has a lot to do with the show not knowing what to do with Hughie, either. He’s the heart of the comic and exploring Butcher is done through the eyes of Hughie. But Hughie isn’t that for Homelander in the show. He just feels like another dude.
English
key divergence between the boys comic/tv show is that the comic has more interest in billy butcher rather than homelander as the charismatic embodiment of a broken worldview, which itself is more self-critical and potentially interesting. too bad about a lot of the rest of it
English
@SinnyBd This such a stupid question. He would become a meat torpedo and send the founding Titan through the center of the earth at Mach fuck

I love how Invincible as a series fits into such a niche powerscaling range where people think so much or so little of these characters depending on the match up they are in
Teslimat@Teslimatttt
Can Nolan actually solo the Rumbling, or is that too much for him?

@michaelschwab13 “Wow, Yordan Alvarez is doing better than Judge and Ohtani through the first 7% of the season!!!”

@PrimeM00se @AndThatsBB Sorry, we round over here and according to my rounding JRod has three 6 fWAR seasons.
English
@AndThatsBB JRod has never had a 6 FWAR season, nice try!!!
English
I’d do unholy things to have a player like Lindor lmao
Jacob@AndThatsBB
It's hilarious that they do this shit every single April then he has a 6 WAR season
English
@DubDotDUBBY Bro college players still play with metal bats. Like what are we doing here? If you gave Giancarlo Stanton a metal bat, they would have start keeping a stat to track the amount of players he would kill on game by game basis lmao
English
man you could put on the college World Series, put them in Dodgers jerseys and yall wouldn't know the difference lol
NCAA closer to LA Fitness than it is the NBA
DUBBY@DubDotDUBBY
The gap between college and the pros has to be the largest in basketball
English
@jjmaples55 It’s 100% baseball. Even the most polished college players rarely make the jump to the bigs quickly. And even then, it’s far more rare for them to make immediate impact and be stars.
English
It's 100% football

@shegone03 @mikedaviswins MVP, 3 time champion, and the best catcher of his generation. I don’t think an arbitrary amount of hits should be the defining part of his hall of fame case. Posey was amazing.
English
Some really good players but no Hall of Famers! #shegone
Seth McClung@Seth_3773
This looks like a hall of pretty good. @HallOfBigBall I’m not sure I have any of these guys in.

@shteivred @_24kin Okay but acting like the hitter is the only isolating variable is wrong. The pitcher was most effective against right handed hitters. Over a .200 OPS difference. They made a decision. It didn’t work, that’s baseball
English
@womprat48 @_24kin Using slugging (or OPS) in a situation where you need one hit for a tie and have 2 outs instead of using on base percentage and batting average is also, by the way, not how you use the analytics.
English
Again, this isn’t how you do analytics. This is only the *start* of the equation.
Escarra is not even a replacement level hitter. Goldy is an above replacement level hitter, and especially above average against his like handedness pitchers. He’s not your average righty!
Kin Knows Ball@_24kin
For anyone wondering why Boone went with J.C. Escarra to finish the game.. Anthony Bender allowed a .211 wOBA to right handers last season and a .294 wOBA to lefties. Escarra is very likely the best option there
English
@shteivred @_24kin They both had about the same level of success against righties last year. Goldy had a higher batting average, but Escarra was more likely to hit for extra bases. The difference being that the marlins pitcher has, historically, been far more effective against righties than lefties
English
@_24kin @shteivred “We should hit the guy who gets owned by righties against the guy who owns righties.” These people aren’t serious, man.
English
@shteivred Paul Goldschmidt was horrible vs righties last season
English
@BaseballWRLD_ Judge’s two handed follow through swing when he hits a ball 470 feet to left center.

@jd6249192289491 @thats_bb_suzyn “This time last year.” In April of 2025, Cam Schlittler was in the minor leagues. He didn’t even get called up until July.
English
Cam Schlittler wasn’t on anyone’s radar this time last year.
How the hell does this happen?
Pure dominance.
Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanks
Cam Schlittler has retired the last 14 batters!
English
@hausofdecline They forget because he went on to post 3 miserable seasons offensively right after that and has never come close to replicating his 2022 season.
English
People forget that Andrés Giménez put up a 7 WAR season with Cleveland and got a bunch of MVP votes. People forget this because it was Cleveland.

@Damon98_ This Division is the baseball equivalent of Tartarus lmao
English
The AL East race will be an absolute bloodbath from start to finish. 4 teams all with conceivable odds at winning the division. It's going to be 6 months of WAR. Can't have a weak stomach if you reside in this division.
Tap in, it's going to be insane.

@StlllWest @Damon98_ Players fail to live up to expectations, injury crisis, division too good. I mean you can pick a reason out of a hat. It’s just opening day engagement hype
English
@SaenzTS8 @LeorKushner @ChrisCoop_ His contribution also is overblown because he got an extra base because of a Yankee error.
English
@LeorKushner @ChrisCoop_ The inning you’re referring to does not occur without him
English
Rewatched the 2025 World Series last night and couple of notes...
1. Why the hell was Anthony Banda pitching in the bottom of the 6th in a 3-run game with bases loaded to Addison Barger before the grand slam
2. Will Smith's heroics aren't talked about enough, hit two late game go ahead HRs in game 2 and 7 that won both games.
3. The Dodgers somehow won with only 2 guys above an 800 OPS that series, including Mookie at a .424 OPS and Freddie at a .688 OPS.
4. Shohei Ohtani gave up 7 ER in 8.1 IP, 3 being in game 7
5. That is the worst sports loss I've ever seen and I don't think it's close😂 To Miguel Rojas of all people man holy shit
