Brian Snitker should have slid Ozuna into the lead off position as soon as Acuña got injured. You want your best hitter/on base batter to get the most at bats. Ozuna has been the best hitter this season. I really don’t understand his lineups sometimes. Top of the order should be:

Ozuna
Albies
Olson
Riley

Miggy is one of my faves…I can’t even stand Pujols but the numbers aren’t even close

Same. I like Miggy but can certainly appreciate the HOF career of Pujols.

Guarantee you all those guys in Cooperstown without a World Series wished they had one. Yeah it’s an heck of an accomplishment to be in the HOF with the other greats but to be known as a world champion, that’s something we all dreamed of growing up. Doesn’t matter what was your favorite sport. Nobody dreams of becoming a HOF. They dream of being in the World Series Game 7, bases loaded, down by 3 and hit a game winning grand slam. They dream of being in the NBA Finals Game 7, down 2 and hit a 3 at the buzzer. They dream of being in the Super Bowl, down by 6, 90 yards to go, 2 minutes left in the game, throwing a game winning touchdown. You can have all the individual awards in the world in sports but if you become a world champion that is the most special achievement in sports.

Yeah because they already have the talent so of course they want the ring. You can speak for yourself. I’d rather be Ty Cobb than Mark Lemke…sorry man…and I would rather be Dan Marino than Aaron Hernández…hahahaha

Hold my beer!

Loved Miggy’s approach at the plate. Didn’t like his approach at the dinner table so much…

Because the whole reason they moved the Astros to the AL was to create balance. Why would they bring in 2 teams and create unbalanced divisions once again?

Makes ZERO sense to have 2 Division winners in each League and 5 WC teams.

He is an overweight Ozzie Albies.

Miggy wasn't chubby til he got the huge money. Check out his first years in Miami playing RF.

Good grief…Albies is in his prime hitting .270…..bow wow…woof

He was a skinny outfielder once upon a time…stayed elite through the Tigers good years with Scherzer and Verlander then ate high on the hog afterwards

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Miggy is one of my current favs. My active favorites to watch are Albies, Mookie, William Contreras and Strider.
Other than the obvious Vols, of course.

So you would rather be a guy that had his entire team revolt against him and went on strike because he was such a horrible teammate, then have a replacement team and get blown out the next day 24-2. Only for you to go groveling back to them to beg them to come back? Got it.

I mean as far as being a goofball and always seems to be having fun. Of course there is no comparison stat wise.

Miggy isn’t active my man….Im about to have to say Votto isn’t one of my faves anymore…they are drooling like flies…all the guys my age are hitting the road…sucks

Makes more sense than having two 5 team divisions and a 6 team division lol

 

[cobbwebb0710]

That’s why I listed my actives after Miggy.

We will see I assume.

Yes I know, he was in our division unfortunately so I got to see him up close and personal…

 

[volplaya8]

Oh you said current faves…I was like I wish he was current

Yes I’d rather be the best player to ever ever play the game. Maybe you should read A Terrible Beauty sometime if you haven’t…Cobbs team btw went on strike for Cobb not against him….lol…they wouldn’t have quit too…smdh.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

All time is Murph, Strawberry, Canseco, Nolan and Bo.
Current would be Miggy, Chipper, David Wright, Javy Lopez.
Active is Albies, Mookie, Strider, Contreras, Salvy Perez.

Anyways you taking tomorrow off to watch the early game on ESPN+?

No, I’m blowing through the day though.
Gonna be some jacked up beer orders being delivered on Tuesday!

They all hated the man and the only reason they wanted him in lineup was because he was a good player.

Current…you old man…hahaha…

Eric Davis was my guy as a kid. Loved him like no other.
Chipper, Miggy and Chris Sale are my next tier.
Then it’s Altuve, Arenado, Harper.
And I like Freeman and Mookie bringing up the rear.

Salvador is leading he Royals to a possible Division Title this season or at least a WC.
