Craig Nettles fucking 76 yesterday

It's frustrating how under represented 3rd base is in the HOF

Damn.

The king of the one liners, and an amazing defensive 3B.

He used to piss off George no end, and I loved him for it.

I met him about ten years ago by chance in a bar after he had been doing autograph signings....The guy is hilarious, talked about the Red Sox rivalry.....Rollie Fingers, Goose and Fred Lynn were there as well......

He was a Padre then, after he finally burned that last bridge to the boss.

I think he should be in. Great defensive 3rd baseman and a good hitter. He's just one of several 3rd basemen I think have been snubbed. Rolen, Bell, Bando, Boyer and Dick Allen should also be in IMO. Maybe Darrell Evans though I don't think his peak is that good (only two seasons in the top 10 in WAR) and his 24.3 WAA is well below most HOFers.

One of my favorite Nettles moments.

Nuke LaLoosh....

Pretty much. He had a few real stinkers that ballooned his ERA (14 runs of his 18 runs allowed came in 4 appearances)

I don't expect to see Casas this year. Maybe mid/late 2021. I'd say he's easily the 2nd best prospect in this system, granted it's a bad one. But I like his power/eye a lot

Great weekend of sports.......

One of my favorite Nettles moments.

Two things

1 How many times does Nettles have to tag Brett before he is out? If you notice a few of Nettles punchs are with his glove and the ball is still in there.
2 I don't remember Freddie Patek being that small.

 

[nynasty]

Feels like the damn off-season again.

When was 66 pitches ever considered a lot? Besides LL....

Ridiculous

Judge is SOFT

 

[nynasty]

Nice to see the Yankee manager taking the night off in solidarity.

66 pitches and cruising.

And how do you not pinch run for Sanchez in the 7th?

WTF
