When you offer 440 million and he tells you to kick rocks … I kind of get it. I guess?

Joseph can murder baseballs all he wants.
But his team ain't winning many games if things like the bottom of the 6th happen...

I think posted before here long ago Jon Miller impersonating Vin Scully. It's hilarious classic!

The highest annual average ever on top of of all the years. The Nats proposed deal was the most money ever but at a lower average/year.

I suppose the last time a Nats player that declined a big pay day a result was a World Series trophy so it could happen again if the Nats hit on their draft picks

I am tickled pink at the notion of "Tungsten Games" becoming a thing.

How in the world is that team even possible?! I guess for the Giants struggles, I can look at the Angels who somehow have it worse despite having two of the biggest names in baseball.

Whenever someone talks about the Giants and Angels in the same breath, I always end up having flashbacks to that stupid monkey...
It was a...
FREAKING.
STUFFED.
MONKEY.
and it worked...

2002 is a painful sports year. Of all the teams that have beaten my teams in playoffs scenarios, I think I hold the hardest grudge against the Angels.

If we're talking about holding a grudge against a single TEAM, then, yes, I hold the hardest grudge against the Angels.
If we're talking about holding a grudge against a STUFFED ANIMAL, then, yes, I hold the hardest grudge against that stupid monkey.
But, if we're talking about holding a grudge against a single INDIVIDUAL, then, yes, this idiot takes the cake, and will always take the cake...
Even after I die.

Has Joseph finally decided that it is time for him to play baseball?
Yeah, he's starting to get his K rate somewhat in control and he's shown that he just nails the ball when he makes contact. Dude absolutely has some elite elite power, especially for a catcher.
What's interesting is he hasn't taken a BB in the 2nd half of the season, but has his K rate to 29.7% as opposed to 43.6 in the first half. So I wonder if they're just having him relax his approach and just say "Go swing away" rather than try to be a super plate discipline guy and get yourself in bad 2 strike counts all the time.
Regardless, big 2 months for Joey Bart. His defense is already good, just need to have some confidence that his stick is playable heading into next year.
What's crazy is outside that first game blow-up where he gave up 3 ER, he's only given up 12 ER the rest of the season in 44 innings. Still needs a little work on his control, but he's got all the tools to be a top 5 closer. Elite, elite stuff.
I don't follow baseball but I just heard on LeBatard that, since the start of the season, Chris Sale has broken three bones and made two starts, and I find that to be both tragic and hilarious.

The "MLB at Field of Dreams" game is, arguably, one of the greatest things to ever happen in sports. Both games that the MLB has now put on have been fantastic to watch.
