Evan: Astros run may already be more impressive than '90s Yankees dynasty

Evan Roberts says the Astros run of success dating back to 2017 may already be more impressive than the 1990s dynasty years for the Yankees.

Talk about a hot take

Was that Bonds in his prime though? I felt like his prime was in the 90’s.

His 2000 dominant stretch was more out of his prime.

thought ng to boston was a sure thing. and kapler? lol

sox becoming a poverty franchise

 

[Unholy Diver]

I just wonder how Kapler seems to keep failing up, he'll go to the Sox and be mediocre there for 3-4 years, get fired, and get named the vice president of Amazon

Griffey, everytime.

Alex Rodriguez: 'Of course, it bothers me' Yankees haven't retired his number

Rodriguez won two AL MVP awards with the Yankees and was part of the 2009 World Series-winning team.

sports.yahoo.com

idk why the Yankees are doing this. He's 16th in bWAR. idk if the Yankees care about this but he is a cheater.

Griffey, every time.

Don't be silly unless you care about cheating. Griffey was injury prone, is 58th in bWAR, and the cheater Bonds is 4th in bWAR.

 

[Halladay]

No one wants the Red Sox job, that's why Gabe might end up there.

Griffey will always be the guy for me.

Sweetest swing in baseball.

Bonds was a juiced out douchebag.

Suspect in killing of Lake Tahoe couple was son in law, according to their daughter

I mean, the answer is obviously Bonds. I was in the Bay Area when he broke the record, and it was electric.

Before he started juicing, he had two seasons with higher offensive WAR than anything Griffey did. He was a better hitter even before he juiced. Griffey was vastly superior in the OF until he was 28. Bonds was a positive defensive WAR player until he was 34, Griffey had negative defensive WAR starting when he was 29.

Bigger asshole, of course. Juiced up, of course. But he was better, IMO.

He was also a on an episode of Bar Rescue about 5 years back, I know the show is mostly staged but he had two of his younger employees live with him and his wife, Erin Bobby V also appears in the episode lol

Edit:

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

So basically the Padres don't really care if he stays.

 

[Terry Yake]

according to padres fans, preller hates him

 

[Unholy Diver]

according to padres fans, preller hates him

So would he be looking to hire his 3rd or 4th mgr? And will he even get the chance? Ownership hasn't really gotter great bang for their buck

 

[GKJ]

So basically the Padres don't really care if he stays.

They do care in that they’d prefer him to leave but don’t want to pay him to do it.

Pierce Johnson, Braves Agree to 2-Year, $14M Contract; RP Traded from Rockies in July​

Happy to have him back. This was a fantastic get. In 43 games for the Rockies, he had a 6.00 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP, however, in 24 appearances with the Braves, Johnson had a 0.76 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP with 32 strikeouts in 23.2 innings pitched. His ERA ranked sixth in all of MLB among pitchers to make at least 20 appearances. If I remember correctly, he was basically free.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Imagine if Griffey was healthy for as long as Bonds was. Griffey would of hit 800 homers and who knows how many rbi’s

 

[Ratbath]

Easily Bonds. He also wins this debate against every other player.
