mcdougall(4) Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Baseball is an acquired taste, you either get it or you don't. Like any other sport it is infinitely better seen in person, preferably in good weather and with a few cold beverages. Doubt very much the Yankees or the Red Sox will be crying coz Henry won't be leaving his croft to come see them. Some how I don't quite think of you as some one willing to invest in the intricacies of the sport. Seeing as how you're a cowkin thicko Link to comment

dave_min Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 With the new season starting next week is anyone interested in joining a Chat fantasy baseball league?

Sonoftherock Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I had money on Ryu last night, but it's all come together for Price just at the right time... reminds me a bit of Lackeys post-season resurgence last time Boston won the world series! Very pleasing! LA needs to win the first of their home-stand I think... Before the playoffs, I tipped Houston again... but from what I've seen, it's the the two AL East teams who've been the best! Yankees vs Red Sox was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm surprised cricketers haven't given pro baseball a shot. much more money as well. Link to comment

mcdougall(4) Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 batting, some of these 20/20 batsmen that can hit sixes for fun. Whilst obviously, hand eye coordination, and bat speed would be transferable, it is actually an entirely different skill set.Ed Smith wrote a book about it https://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Hard-Ball-Cricket-Baseball/dp/0349116660/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 What I would also point out is that at the top end Major League levels, they may make more money but the IPL type money they earn now, is nowhere until they get to the Majors - I think salaries in the minors would shock you at the low level.

Sonoftherock Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Helluva game. World Series just got interesting. Yep... a huge momentum swing. LA needed to win that, but the manner of the win is also massive for them! Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Momentum is only as big as tomorrow's starting pitcher... But I think that win from 0-4 is the ender for the Dodgers. Sox should see it over the line from here. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 @@Sonoftherock how are you celebrating? haha! Enjoyed that! It really has been an incredibly dominant year from the Red Sox. 108 wins was amazing, particularly out of a really hard division, but I thought shortcoming in relief pitching would come back to bite during the playoffs... but that wasn't really the case. Offensively the production was incredible... some people are saying the best ever. The numbers certainly stack-up. The Red Sox just seemed to over power teams this year. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 With a name like mookie betts in your team you can't lose. The best since big poppy david Ortiz. Fenway park is such a home advantage, you could imagine a train track running through it like Brewsters millions. Link to comment
