No, ME all over all of them!!

The shots of Sophia as naked harem slave from around 1950 are mind boggling....

I'll say it again. I really like watching both of them play and look forward to many seasons to come.

Sorry, it's from the four letter.
Four years ago, Bryce Harper and Mike Trout became linked

Poor man's miggy..... really. Both of them. Trout is the most over rated player in last 30 years

This is weird. I went to Fangraphs.com's home page and they had an article on this very subject.

The Case for Noah Syndergaard as Baseball’s Best Pitcher | FanGraphs Baseball

I'm not even going to click it. Let me guess.. Dave Cameron? He's the most clickbaity FG guy. Cameron then Sullivan.

Except that they are both better hitters than Cabrera was at their ages and have far more defensive/baserunning value than he ever did. Not fair to compare prime Cabrera with the bat to such young guys.

Well, the guy who beat Harper out for the NL batting title on the last day of last season has now been busted for PEDs.

Yeah, fucking Harper read my post and decided to make me look like an idiot by taking 3 walks!!!

I was always a fan of Barbara Eden over Elizabeth Montgomery.

Same here. Plus she always said my favorite two words in the English language. Yes Master

I love Sullivan's stuff. This will always be my favorite piece by him:

Reminds me of talking to my daughter after she pitched and won a game...her curve, screw, and rise were all on, and she even threw a few good changes, which is the pitch she has the least touch for. She threw 4-5 pitches in the dirt in one inning, and I figured that they were drops and she just didn't have that pitch that day. I asked her about those pitches later, and she said, "Oh, that was my fastball."

?????

Throws a couple of dozen curves with steam on them over the outside corner for strikes, and bounces the FASTBALL!?!?

See, but they don't play for Detroit, so they must suck.

Harper has been in a slump lately, but the Cubs still walked him 6 times yesterday and he reached base 7 times total without an AB due to a HBP. Bryce also drew 13 total walks in a 4 game series.
Maddon said he knew Harper did not bring a hot bat into the series, but still did not want to give him a chance to get hot. Cubs swept. I give Dusty Baker credit for saying that Bryce needed to stay patient and not go out of the zone, that is out of keeping with previous comments of his on that topic.

Does the winner of this face off against Manny Machado?

I'm wondering if it's not so much that he's slumping, but pitchers literally aren't giving him shit to hit. With Zimmerman hitting so badly as protection.

Machado's an awesome talent, but given my choice of the three, there's no doubt I'd take the other two over him. Hands down.

If the analogy to Harper/Trout is Brady to Manning, then Machado would be like Rodgers. Nothing against Machado, he's just not Harper or Trout- though he is trying like hell to shove himself in the conversation.

If he performed as well as -- or even better than -- Harper or Trout, I'd still go hands down with Harper or Trout.

Machado is 23 and has already had both knees operated on and missed significant time in the minors and majors because of those knees.

As I said, he's awesome talent, but his durability is a concern for me.

I'm biased for sure, but are you factoring in what an impact Machado makes defensively?

That's likely, but he had a long string of not getting many hits or walks, with some multiple K games thrown in...if he's swinging at the shit they throw him, shame on him and that's still a slump to me. Gotta at least make them get you out with some strikes.
