Said nobody ever other than butthurt Giants fans who are mad their golden boy Buster Posey is nothing more than mediocre garbage anymore. Same applies to 99% of their roster.

My golden boy gave my team 3 titles. If he never plays another inning, there isn't a single shred of bitterness.

If Molina gets in the HOF, he will statistically be one of the worst players to be enshrined. Like I said, his HOF case is built on narratives and emotional feelings.

That Astros coach should be suspended for the season. He instigated it and stepped onto the field.

His defense is elite. His offense is good, not great. If he was a different position, he wouldn't get in. As a catcher, he will get in. I'm probably ok with that. But they need to be consistent with all positions in voting.

I was just messing with jrg, but I think he should be in.

Catcher is just a different position. Look at the numbers of some of the best catchers that got in. 390 is like the most HRs, by Piazza. You have 4 Catchers in MLB history who hit more than 300 HRs. That's really bad...

So that position is obviously more about the defense than it is offense. Yadier has been one of the best defensive catchers of this generation, and that should be rewarded.

Another reason why I want to see that position rewarded is because of the talent involved in it. Too many players these days just don't want to play catcher for so many reasons. At least reward the guys who do did it with longevity and did it well.

Classy Francesca. He's such a cesspool.

Very fair take.

The St. Louis Cardinals have not lost a baseball game since July 29th.

Because, of course, they are the BTIB.
