MLB 2021 season: Corn-Driven Humidity

[Spider]

The Astros will lose a couple of players to free agency this off season, so while they'll still compete next year, I doubt they'll be good enough for another WS run. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Congrats to the Braves and all their fans.

It didn't feel real until I watched the parade today. This team was left for dead in July. We were calling for Brian Snitker's head on a platter because of his terrible bullpen. They literally couldn't string two wins together. Lost one of baseball's best hitters. Lost an All-Star caliber pitcher to punching a wall. Picked against in the division. Picked against in every postseason series. Picked against in every game of the World Series. This is a dream come true. I've been waiting 26 years. I sat through some terrible teams the entire time I was in college because we only got a handful of channels and a PeachtreeTV simulcast was one of them. I had to watch the Infield Fly game live. I had to watch the Nationals win a championship before us. I had to watch choke after choke after choke in the postseason. This is a dream come true.

Yeah, didn't they have a record 17 game alternating win-loss streak at some point? Definitely more surprising than one of the wild-card teams making it all the way, what with coming out of the weak NL East.

I guess it really does matter when you peak.

So who's gonna start the offseason thread?

 

[Skywalker]

I'm sure Timby will cook something up.

And they're off to a great start by picking up Wade Miley!

Has there ever been a manager who was fired and also a manager of the year finalist at the same time before? Cardinals man.

 

[Starbreaker]

Joe Girardi won it in 2006 and then was fired. Marlins are quite the organization.

It's a great tradition for the Fish; they win a World Series and then promptly hold a fire sale. Same thing happened in 1997, except there Jim Leyland hung around another year and watched the team go 54-108.

Mets are really scraping the bottom of the barrel...

Syndergaard to the...Angels?

 

[BillJ]

Where’s @Timby?

 

[Skywalker]

He hasn't posted in about a month and a half. I hope he's okay.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Although his profile says he was last seen yesterday.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I thought about starting the offseason thread myself but I can't think of a funny thread title.

@Timby isn't listed as a mod here now. Hey guys, wasn't he a mod in here?
