I'm cheering for the Dodgers to win the World Series next year because they got screwed so badly by this whole thing. I'm a Cardinals fan, and we own the Dodgers in the postseason... but I'm fine with you guys having one now. Go get 'em.

its also a direct result of MLB's shift to analytics driven baseball. most of the GM's are tech guys from Silicon Valley, not athletes or veterans.

they carry that mentality of winning at any cost from SV to the team front office.

yeah i get the allure with baseball since it is full of status/numbers/analysis but there is a limit to its effectiveness it predicting outcomes.

Google it and check Twitter. After Altuve hit the game winning HR vs the Yankees, he tells his teammates not to take his jersey off, and runs in the tunnel while everyone else is celebrating. Have not seen all the videos yet, but it is pretty odd behavior

the stats are cool. statcast data and other publicly accessible performance evaluating tools are cool

i do agree that having an entire sport of finance dudes has led to even further exploitation of players.

Yeah what analytics has done to basketball is just shy of a crime. Even worse than baseball.

And the Rockets in the playoffs a few years back -even in the face of their plan not working- kept jacking 3s because the analytics said it was the thing to do.

The family of Beltran says this 'niece' is not related to the family and yet she reported him getting hired and fired before anyone else. Take that for what you will.

fuckin brutal
it's a shame, this was a really likable team with a lot of charismatic guys
i'm hoping this part at least isn't true because altuve is one of those heart and soul type guys
but then again, they're all athletes
and as i've previously said...baseball players fucking love cheating

its hard to tell, but Im pretty sure thats him rounding third and about to come home.

Taking off my jersey would be the last thing on my mind if I just hit the game winning Hr to send my squad to the World Series.

iirc at the time he said that his fiancee or wife or whatever didn't like them getting him half-naked on tv like that
because they had ripped his shirt off like just a few games prior right

Just a really weird thing to think about after such a monumental achievement.

Also why would he not just put the Pennent shirts over his Jersey like everyone else? He ran to the dugout, took everything off, and was just wearing the champ shirt during on field interviews
