Damn I forget how beefy Sammy was. It's like a bodybuilder running in the outfield.
Its hilarious watching replays of players back then. Of course they did wear tighter uniforms in some cases but its laughable sometimes. Mcgwire looks like a freak.



I mean, how the fuck does a guy like that pee? Geez. Who is the biggest guy in mlb today? Does anyone even come close to the middle infielders in the late 90s? I remember Bret Boone being massive.

The big strong guys like Stanton and Judge are proportional, they don't have 2:1 chest to waist ratios.

The 2011 and 2018 Braves both have a 6.5 game lead at 145 games in. Welp.

Raul Mondesi got so big that his neck morphed in with the rest of his head.

I still think it's some miracle that the Phillies were able to stay in the NL East that long. They haven't won a series since late July and they have a losing record this season when they play the Mets & Marlins.

2nd most errors in the majors. 3rd lowest batting average. 2nd to last in hits. 3rd to last in doubles. 3rd most strikeouts (batters, not pitchers). The only thing that saved this team overall is pitching. Without them, they'd be in the bottom 5 in the league.

Bret Boone was the smartest player of that era. He quietly disappeared before all that Balco shit went down. Looking back on it, he was clearly juicing, but he kind of avoided a lot of the noise that followed other players who stuck around like Andy Pettite.

Darvish had minor cleanup and will be 100% healthy for ST next year. Great?!?!?

Cubs gotta buy out Cole's option and re-sign him or pony up the 20M+. No idea what the fuck they do Chatwood? Can't start or be used in the bullpen.

The fact that Tampa Bay has overtaken Seattle in the Wild Card standings is pretty remarkable

Hell, just the fact that Tampa Bay is even in the Wild Card hunt in the first place is remarkable

Besides their first 10 games or so, Tampa has been remarkably good all season. I would put money on them if they were in the NL.
