I used to be against A-Rod..... Called him a bum and an undeserving POS of a HOF.....


But now IMO him coming clean, you know this wasn't outside the norm in that era and the MLB shoved it under the rug...... And he does so much on and off the field and especially off the field......



People deserve second chances....... And Alex IMO deserves a second chance especially given the example he shows off the field and the example in character of a true player and MLB Player shows in the community and in character.....


He does a lot of work off the field and shows extraordinary character IMO.



 
Also look at all the people behind Alex.......


It ain't just your beer drinking uncle like me..... Them be moms and decent women in America...... Who understand sometimes their sons and men deserve a second chance......


ImO nvm what Alex is saying..... Look at the regular people and regular, common, hardworking women that make up America behind decent families in America. IMO that speaks a lot behind a persons/mans character.....



Look at the fans, men and the regular and common, decent hardworking women of hardworking families in America who showed up to stand behind Alex....... listen and hear what to they have to say standing behind him........ That shit goes a long way IMO.

Its not just about money........ When it comes to winning...... Or the game in general.....


Pure imagination, thinking outside the box or the Diamond..... And a real winning attitude matters in the game and money can't but that......


Baseball teaches us IMO that imagination, strategy and new ways of thinking and doing things are possible........ The old ways and tradition are important..... But new thought and real innovation breaking from the conventional wisdom or traditional norm are needed.....


The game has its roots in deep history...... But that history is form from evolutions upon evolutions and from era to era and decade to decade...... IMO Evolution is a part of the game..... And evolution is a part of Baseball as much as it is intertwined with the history of our great country...... America 🇺🇲 🇺🇲 🇺🇲



And new forms of thought and strategy using innovation and imagination aren't moving away from Baseball..... Or destroying it......




It's merely showing the game for what it is sometimes and what actually matters and is valued in the game and has been valued in the game at its roots for 200+ years......

Tied the "experts" both having 4 out of 10 top 10 pitchers and tied for AL Cy Young pick.



The Kids' Final Real MLB Top 10 Starting pitchers for 2025.......... Projections were made taking projected WAR, IP and ERA as a baseline as well as other factors and considerations such as K/9+ 10, LOB 75% or higher and BABIP at .290 or lower....... baseline for all Top 10 also required at the least 162+ projected IP to qualify as a mandatory baseline (minus Sasaki as an exception)*.......

The Kids Real MLB/Baseball flashbacks......






Never mind Skubal wasn’t even on the “experts” radar at MLB on Fox/ESPN/MLB…… I even picked more Cy Young candidates than the “experts” or MLB powered by Google AI….. using nothing but stats/analytics available to 8 billion + people……




Ahead of every “expert” on the planet or even AI ^_^











——————————————————————————————-



Yours truly….. some schmuck from Anaheim CA that never went to an Ivy League or some fancy private school BEAT every “experts” preseason projections for Top 10 pitchers and also beating MLB powered by Google AI….. with nothing else but statistics/analytics available to everyone on planet Earth along with a little bit of Calc and a Texas Instruments TI-84+ calculator, pencil, pen and paper…….






——————————————————————-

4 of my top 10 are actually in the running for Cy Young vs MLB “experts” 3 out of 10 at this point in the season….. not perfect by a long shot but yeah again better than the “experts” in the industry….. and I made these projections months before the season even started……and yeah 1 out of my 10 picks is actually winning Cy Young vs 0 out of 10 for the “experts”…….




I BEAT every “expert” at their own game in regards to projections and I’m even beating and offering better results than MLB powered by Google AI…….





When it comes to what I have to offer and my results vs “MLB experts” or MLB powered by Google AI my methodology and insight using the WAR-Ratio has revolutionized how to see the game, how to better build teams, how to better make projections and how to actually explain what’s going on in the field in a better way than anything any “expert” has used in the past 100+ years or the combined 10,000 year knowledge of a panel of so called “experts”……. I did it last season and did it again this season…..




It’s not luck and it’s not coincidence…..





Cy Young Rankings by MLB “experts”…..

Forget the cycle that was on his mind. Kurtz went out and did something even rarer in a 15-3 blowout win over the Astros. Going a perfect 6-for-6 with four home runs, Kurtz became the first A’s player in franchise history with a four-homer game, the first rookie in MLB history with a four-homer game, and the 20th player overall............... 7/25/25 Per MLB



 
Give it up to this young cat such a bright future ahead of him.......just wow...... here is to your 2025 NL ROY..... Drake Baldwin *_*

Only a Yankees fan would be this brazen. LOL
Click to expand...

Fans like that in all sorts of places..... As much as I don't like the Yankees many Yankees fans I've meet are nothing but cool and chill people :dunno:


But yeah....... This guy sure is a hotdog 🌭 :LOL:
 
Projected closer than any "expert" and before any "expert" on the planet in 2024 to win a Cy Young on my Preseason Real stop 10 Starting Pitchers Power Rankings.....


Projected as the #1 pitcher for 2025 by me to win a Cy Young on my 2025 Preseason Real Top 10 Starting Pitchers Power Rankings......


Your 2025 AL Cy Young...... My man...... Tarik Skubal ^_^



 
Paul Skenes, coming in hot and taking the 2025 NL Cy Young...... Congratulations to this young man with a very bright future ahead of him ^_^

So proud of Skubal...... In the history of the game there have only been 12 consecutive Cy Young Winners..... Only 4 southpaws amongst those 12..... The last pitcher in general to do it in the AL was Pedro Martinez 25 years ago....


That's how special this moment is not just for Skubal but for fans and Baseball......


What a guy and here is to Tarik on his 2nd Cy Young and back to back Cy Youngs....... Tarik is a future HOFer in the making and really the sky is the limit to set and make his mark in the game in ways he doesn't even know yet or any of us may be prepared for in the StatCast Era ^_^
