I just don’t think Vancouver area has the population to maintain a mlb team. Montreal is the largest area by pop, outside of Mexico City, without a franchise and it makes the most sense, imho. Still a lot of ball fans out there. And even if you don’t want to go back there, Vegas, Portland and Charolette probably all make more sense. I think tormenting Seattle fans a couple times a year will have to suffice for Vancouver’s baseball fans.

Didn’t happen. Blew a 7-0 lead to lose their 12th straight.

I don’t think ‘maintaining’ is really a thing anymore considering the value’s growth of mlb franchises. Have a good ballpark and a good team and everything else is really just dependant on how much a billionaire is willing to spend.

Turns out both the o's (19 games) and the dbacks (23 games) haven't won on the road since they had their no-hitters.

How has acuña hit 100 HRs already?!

wander franco will be the first major leaguer born in 2001
― mookieproof, Monday, 21 June 2021 01:27 (three years ago) link
(xpost) From the MLB site:
Acuña's 100th homer comes in his 378th game. The only players to reach this milestone in fewer games were Ryan Howard (324), Gary Sánchez (355), Aaron Judge (371), Ralph Kiner (376) and Joey Gallo (377). It was also the fastest any player has gotten to both 100 homers and 75 stolen bases, by number of games.

So acuna is doomed is what im gathering

100 HRs in 378 games = 43 HRs/16275 SBs in 378 games = 32 SBs/162
early 90s bonds-like

Still, not looking good for his HoF chances.

Dumb list! he started younger than everyone there. He's the 9th youngest to reach 100, right in front of Pujols, Aaron and Griffey
― ✖, Monday, 21 June 2021 16:36 (three years ago) link
I'd agree with that--age is far more significant than games played.

I haven’t really been paying much attention this baseball season so maybe you lot can help me: Who the fuck is Wander Franco and why are his rookie cards going for like $10,000 on eBay?
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 21 June 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
He's baseball's top prospect and is debuting tomorrow
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 21 June 2021 19:08 (three years ago) link
wander franco is the next vladimir guerrero jr. he can't miss, and he will definitely be a superstar on his first day in MLB as opposed to after a year and a half of merely average production as a 20-year-old
― Karl Malone, Monday, 21 June 2021 19:09 (three years ago) link
He's also the first MLB player who was born in the year 2001

Kelenic debuted with the same fanfare recently and struggled so mightily that they sent him back down.

Ha ha I fixed it, Mikael Franco just whaled a two-run HR

This is def the first game I ever tuned into a game specifically for a players debut, and I definitely yelled when he hit that jack

First PA was a walk that started 0-2 on two foul balls, it was a gutsy walk if such a thing exists
DOUBLE HELL YEAH WANDER BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 23 June 2021 01:51 (three years ago) link
I missed the HR (of course), but saw the walk (great discipline: 0-2, two borderline strikes), the hard out, and he just crushed that double.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 01:52 (three years ago) link
That's all I need to see: I'm shopping for one of those $10,000 rookie cards right now.
