Right, bryce was never a first base type player.He needs to go back so that can happen
I agree with that as well. I believe they wanted him to play first base because of his elbow injury.Can't lie though, he did a hell of a job defensively there.
Right. But if he's willing to go back to the outfield then he trusts his elbow. That's a good sign
Yeah, if his elbow is good, then I'm cool with him going outfield again.Right. But if he's willing to go back to the outfield then he trusts his elbow. That's a good sign
That's why they should've kept hoskins, I never liked the fact they let him walk because of his injury. The phillies could've won the world series had they kept hoskins.Yes. Hoskins could have stayed if he did that
Well they let him walk not because of the injury, Harper at the time didn't want to go to the outfield. Now he see's how that was a mistake.
Good thing harper realizes this because he knows this is their last shot to try to contend for the world series.Well they let him walk not because of the injury, Harper at the time didn't want to go to the outfield. Now he see's how that was a mistake.

'A lot of sacrifices': During World Series run, Dodgers were more banged up than they let on
Throughout October, several health-related headaches defined the Dodgers’ run to a championship. But behind the scenes, the team's injury problems were even more pronounced.

Turner is absolutely right. Seattle has the best rotation in baseball. It's not the fuckin Dodgers. In fact, it's not even close. And for them to sit on their hands and not add at least one bat is neglect.Justin Turner critical of Seattle Mariners ownership for unwillingness to spend

Ballpark Quirks
xx The Ebbets Field right field wall was 37 feet high, the same height as Fenway Park's Green Monster.
xx There was no fan seating beyond the right field wall. Home runs over the right field wall landed onto Bedford Avenue.
xx The lower right field wall included an advertisement sign for Abe Stark Clothing Store. Any player who hit the sign on the fly during a game received a free, custom-made suit. Because of the location of the sign, very few suits were given away over the years.
