Speaking of music, whoever picks the end of inning bumper music for Fox is a huge jam band fan. Althea, Eyes of the World, Ain't Life Grand, Stash, etc. Happened last year as well, all this Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic, etc.

That’s some real feel for the barrel and strength

All respect to Yordan as a hitter, but Correa's the best player in this game, right? Or are we asking about a single tool on the 20-80 scale?

Unfortunately for Astros, runs for outs is an insufficient trade at this point

Freeman might have a say in best player
AvatarDan Szymborski

I love Freeman, but I'd take Correa

What is a great baseball moment in a non baseball movie?  I’m not taking about the ending of the Adam  Sandler classic Blended.. but like the Yankee Stadium scene in Finding Forrester with Sean Connery.

It feels like Correa's been around forever, but this is JUST his age 26 season!

Naked GUn is the obvious winner

I remain of the opinion that Kiké Hernandez should have been charged with an error when he dropped Yordan Alvarez’s long fly ball in ALCS Game 6. A ball off the heel of the glove when the outfielder is no longer running hard to make a catch isn’t a double.

Naked Gun wins, though the Town's Fenway heist is strong

That was right in front of him the whole way. How do you not throw on the brakes when t bounced RIGHT TO HIM!

I don’t see Yordan being able to be a 70 overall with his defensive limitations. Power for sure. What was David Ortiz overall? Seems like a ceiling of sorts for Yordan (not bad to have that at all though, of course).
AvatarAlex Sonty

Fair. Correa the best all-around, Yordan with the best tool.

I mean, that's a HOF ceiling. I think any Yordan fan would happily take that. Speaking of which, what does a "legit" ring do for Altuve's Cooperstown bid?
AvatarAlex Sonty
12:01
Tuve has work to do, but he probably does it to get there
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:02
Wait I TOTALLY forgot about Jonathan Coulton's ABSOLUTELY 100% HISTORICALLY CORRECT song.

So Correa probably had the best year, but no one is concerned that his previous three year combined WAR didn't equal this year's?
Jeremy

JONATHAN COULTON FOR THE WIN
AvatarAlex Sonty

He's really young

Pretty sure Jay Jaffe had an article on Altuve and HOF

For some reason, I don't feel like this should really be a 4+ hour game.

We just gonna forget about Bregman as best on the field? I know he's been injured, but his last full season was worth more fWAR than Ohtani in 2021.

People should certainly not be subjected to me for four hours.
