From the first link:
“Tatis blossomed under the Padres’ tutelage and could be an exceptional player in the game of baseball.”
This is pretty insightful…prior to reading this I thought for sure Tatis were more likely to excel in the game of basketball.
Lol…also, why not just “baseball” instead of “game of…”?
Which link?
Writing ability is not a strong suit of EVT. Good guys. Work hard. But not good writers.
Yelich did get walked by Maddon with nobody on and 2 out. But that was more to call Counsell’s bluff to pinch hit Hader with Braun.
Then the two managers made goo goo eyes at one another afterwards.
Mets are winning the East. Rarely teams make a ton of noise and succeed but they made very calculated decisions.
Look at their record this same time last year..for the record.
You know, I dont think ANY fans should use the phrase “winning the east” or any other division when we’re 10 games or less into the season. Otherwise Detroit and Seattle fans should cinsider purchasing playoff tickets.
Which blogs are you guys talking about?
Fish stripes ranks Jays uni’s 29th??? What nonsense.
Dont think you need to get offended. It’s is a pretty subjective article.
