The Red Sox signed Devers to make up for NOT signing Betts. Betts is a 5 tool player and Devers is limited. I thought that contract was too long because he has Pablo Sandoval written all over him. I’m okay with the trade as long as they spend some of that money on pitching.

I made great money at my job and didn’t like being shifted around but I STFU because it was a positive for our “team”.

The reason they traded Betts, as I understand it, was because he made it clear he wanted to play somewhere warm. So they couldn’t keep him and at least got something.
I agree there is no comparison. Betts is a hall of famer.

Well if your team has never won a World Series you can't quite say "again"....

I was a Montreal expos fan.

I miss them.

I’ve always liked the Mets since I am from Jersey and they’ve filled in nicely.

I can never like the Yankees. Ever. Altho I like(d) a number of their players over the years.

Padres fan here. Over 40 years. Sigh

Does the stadium play Sir Mix-A-Lot when he comes to bat?

 

[TomTeacher19]

Mix a lot is also from Seattle, I believe.

But I think Raleigh's walk up is money for nothing.

Cardinals won, so I'm happy.

But dang just as I was liking you, I see Cardinals....says the Dodgers guy

The only team I actively dislike is the Cubs.

That’s Rafael Devers

It’s all in the past now but after the trade I read where Betts wanted to stay in Boston.

Yeah. I don’t really know the inside story. You probably follow it more closely than I do. I just know they were fun to watch last week

Third night with no real baseball…..Maybe I’ll look for Crash painting Annie’s toes and watch that 100 times.

I’m curious about what everyone thought about the tie breaker in the all star game? I thought it was both fair and exciting.

 

[riverj]

For an exhibition game I liked it.... no one wants their players chasing the man on 2nd for 4-5 innings.

It was a good solution. Pissed the bookies off....

Oh good call. What is everyone's favorite baseball movie?

Hated it. The all star game sucks already because it's barely real baseball, but that ending made it exponentially worse by being so much worse and so much less of real baseball.

Why would you watch something that you dislike so much?

Lack of better alternatives

 

[CarlyAnn]

I don’t even know what the tie breaker is nor do I care to know. As much as I love baseball, I hate the AS game and that HR contest.

Crash painted them red BTW.
