He isn't saying he IS Adam Dunn he said hes hitting like him. Harper plays far superior defense which factors into your numbers. Why is it so hard for you to just allow people to make comparisons without being so damn argumentative?

Why is it so hard for you to ignore me?  Put me on ignore or simply ignore my responses.  It really is that easy for you.  To compare the two players in my mind is asinine.  Sorry I have a different opinion than someone on here.  Did I say he wasn’t allowed to make comparisons?

Adam Dunn was a very good hitter. Why is hitting like him considered a bad thing?

This is a guy (Harper) who is supposed to get a $400 million contract this offseason. In what world is a Dunn-like slash line makes a player worth that much money!?

I applaud you standing up for your child like that.

It has nothing to do with the person I'm defending. Time and time again Strad feels the need to just tear peoples thoughts apart with some nonsense or another. Yet when he says something were all supposed to just bow down at his concrete perspective. Its almost comical at this point that you and the other cronies don't realize how ridiculous you come across.

Hey if you want to bow go right ahead, I haven’t asked for you to bow.  Why do you feel the need to have my respect and support?  It’s ok to disagree with me.

Stad is a baseball DocHalo disciple ... which gives him power to force his opinions on all us bottom feeders. 

Although, Stad and I share our love for Sosh.

Max Scherzer wins his 10th game and tosses an immaculate inning, the second of his career. Nine pitches, nine strikes, three outs.

Others with two career immaculate innings are Lefty Grove, Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax, and Randy Johnson.

Bedrosian has thrown 64 slutty innings

You beat me to it..  It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.    First MLB player in history that might actually benefit from wearing a chin strap on his helmet.

The chin strap idea would work. Maybe a hair cut so the fluff doesn't push his helmet off.

Oh -- he definitely wants it to come off -- always tilts his head back dramatically to sort of make it happen.  I think it's funny, but I'm pretty sure he likes the way it looks when he sees replays...    

[Angel Dog and Beer]

That sort of thing NEVER happened to Adam Dunn. 

Edge: Dunn. 

[Angel Oracle]

What about Erv Santana?    Oh, you mean THAT chin strap!

[m0nkey]

He and Corey seager are both huge fans of the “helmet coming off to make it look like I’m hustling” move.

Poor Alex Reyes. Fights his way back from TJ surgery, misses 2017, and this year rehabs with a game in Lo-A, Hi-A, AA, & AAA where he went a combined 23 IP, giving up 7 hits, 7 BB's (for a WHIP of 0.61), 44K's (17SO/9), and no earned runs.  

Gets called up, pitches 4 innings for the Cards, and BAM - surgery to re-attach the tendon.

D-Backs just traded for Jon Jay.   Only cost them their #26 prospect and non-top 30 prospect.

He was the guy I wanted us to acquire.

So unless something changes drastically there are only a few teams contending in the AL

-Astros, Mariners , Angels (1 WC, 1 Div winner)

-Yankees , Red Sox (1 will play in the WC game, 1 will win Div)

-Indians

crazy how bad everyone else is
