I just switched over to the Phils-Pads game, and I swear I just heard Tony Gwynn in the booth. It was a bit spooky.
Is that his son? Is he still playing baseball?Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

No...he hasn't played in 3 or 4 years. Started broadcasting back in 2016."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread
In other news, Bonds was in the booth for a half-inning, and they talked about how he ran out to LF in uniform for the pregame warm-up, and how it looked like he could have strapped on pants and cleats, grabbed a bat and hit one in the Cove. He said he could. God, I truly believe him.
I miss seeing him play so much. Gone too soon... from the field, that is.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

We've been too focused on Betts or Trout to see that the AL MVP is truly the sweet, sweet angel J.D. Martinez.Boston Red Sox

Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread
The Red Sox themselves actually said that the team MVP is JD Martinez. I was watching a Red Sox game a week or so ago and the Red Sox broadcasters said they had asked each man on the coaching staff if Betts was the AL MVP and they each said he wasn't even the MVP of his own team, which surprised me."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.

Just saw the video, but what Ramon Laureano did about half an hour ago for the Athletics might be one of the most impossible things I've ever seen.Boston Red Sox

EDIT: Martinez hasn't even been better at the plate than Betts, leaving aside defense and baserunning. 178 wRC+ to Betts' 194.Last edited by Chip Douglass; 08-11-2018, 10:24 PM.I write things on the Internet.

Re: 7/30 - 8/12 Game Discussion Thread
Betts has a massive +3 win advantage over Martinez. There's simply no objective case to make for Martinez being a better player than Betts this year. Not even close.
