At least I have the Cowboys starting up now.

Yeah, this has been one helluva losing streak.

I'm sure the Cowboys will be a consistent source of joy and excitement, and nothing will go wrong.

Was looking forward to see how much the Ohtani contract was going to be. Now I wonder how much he lost?

It's interesting because he can still hit correct? Most of the time it's a no brainer, you start the Tommy John surgery now. So weird when it comes to a guy who can hit like a champ.

Can you swing a bat after TJ surgery?

 

[Genghis Khan]

Apparently there's been a study done on it. Looks like odds are he won't hit in a real game for close to a year? That's a shame if true.


Conclusion:
Professional position players begin swinging at 150 days (approximately 5 months) after UCLR, while they do not hit in batting practice until 195 days (approximately 6.5 months) and do not hit in a real game until 323 days (approximately 10.7 months) after UCLR. Players see a decrease in hitting utilization after UCLR. On average, players hit in a real game 20 days before fielding in a real game.

This is exactly why I was saying before that I would rather give two players 30 million apiece than give Ohtani 60 million. 1 injury to Ohtani and you've basically now lost two players.

I hope not. He only needs 20 more dingers to break Judge's record.

Judge has a record?

I'm so sorry that it's come to this

 

[Chocolate Lab]

At least you didn't dur him.

If someone else did better than you but just happened to play in a different league, we can ignore that?

I really don't think a record for just the AL or NL is a record at all. Especially in this era where they all play each other and there's no discernable difference between the leagues.

It's like if Dak breaks the record for TDs in the NFC East. Ok, and?

But you still play the vast majority of your games against other AL teams (although this year they went to an unbalanced schedule). And the guys ahead of Judge on the all-time list have, um, "issues."

 

[Rev]

I can't wait for Josh Jung to break it so we can finally end the silly debate.

 

[NoDak]

Sweet comeback tonight, eh boys?

Agreed. Which is why it was so silly and annoying last year when ABC/ESPN would interrupt college football games to air Aaron Judge at bats.

I wouldnt post the score on moms fridge. I doubt the Rangers could beat very many AAA clubs at this time.

Thanks to that losing streak Seattle has been able to come out of nowhere and are now on the brink of taking over the top spot in the AL West. Crazy.

Yeah. They own Houston this year and we still have 7 games against them. It's hard not to.be upset about this collapse. I just have to remind myself where we were and the future is bright.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

The Rangers are probably cooked, unfortunately.
