Potentially the best brothers in MLB history?

It's hyperbole season on MLB-GAF.

 

[GK86]

Cubbies putting in that work.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dodgers v. Nationals is going to be one hell of a NLDS.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm still betting if the Giants make it in, they are winning it all.

 

[Choomp]

Scherzer and Kershaw to start it huh? This is going to be an amazing postseason to follow up such a roller coaster of a regular season.

Bum cant pitch every game.

 

[rekameohs]

That's that. It's over now.

Thanks Obama.

Legitimately.

 

[Tragicomedy]

RIP young legend.

[zulux21]

Bum cant pitch every game.

yeah he can, didn't you see the 2014 WS ?

note: I know he didn't literally pitch every game, but he pitched nearly everything that mattered @_@

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

That's that. It's over now.

Obama on the right side of the condiment war. See this Corran? Even the POTUS agrees with me.

Obama is from Chicago, and their idea of pizza is to make a cake full of cheese and not as much sauce. Good president though.

Fernandez death hurts so much not just from the personal to his family and friends and teammates. But it hurts baseball so much. Here was a young terrifically talented player who was such a joy to watch play but who also had so much fun doing it! Laughed in the face of the "unwritten rules" and just went and had genuine fun going out there every day.
A player that baseball needs more of. Terrible loss, this one really hurts.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Jose Fernandez was well on the way to being as beloved as Jose Lima was.

Didn't Obama say Cubs fans aren't real baseball fans a few years back or something? I know he also insulted the Nationals at one point. Just because he's President doesn't mean he's right on everything. He's wrong on condiments. #Truthfact

 

[detectiveconan1]

I still can't believe I'll never get to watch Jose smile in the dugout or celebrate a big inning on the mound.

I can't even imagine what his mom, grandmother, and girlfriend are going through. I hope they find some comfort in knowing just how beloved Jose was.

 

[Zeeman]

Ozzie Canseco career -0.6 WAR.

Joe and Dom are probably the current best and it'll be hard to unseat, mostly because of how great Joe was.

Reminds me of how Wayne and Brent Gretzky are the highest scoring NHL brothers with 2,861 points (Brent got 4 of those)

 

[Silver Arrows]

Anybody got a link to the Vin Scully stuff from last night?

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Joe and Dom are probably the current best and it'll be hard to unseat, mostly because of how great Joe was.

The Waner Bros are both in the HoF and the Niekro Bros have well over 500 wins.

 

[3N16MA]

The Waner Bros are both in the HoF and the Niekro Bros have well over 500 wins.

Joe and Dom lost 6 seasons combined to military service which were prime years. Their brother Vince also played.

 

[Line_HTX]

Home for three vs. Mariners, and finish with three at the Angels.

Baltimore and Detroit are not helping.

If the Astros didn't shit the bed the two previous games, they would be fine.

The first game I give the Angels, games two and three should have been won. But then again, this is baseball, and it is a fickle bitch.

 

[Chris R]

Home for three vs. Mariners, and finish with three at the Angels.

Baltimore and Detroit are not helping.

Should be 5 wins easy.

Toronto needs to sweet Baltimore though, and if Cleveland could act like they are interested in playing baseball that would be nice.

We'll try.

I wanna play you guys in the WC.

 

[Line_HTX]

I understand that Toronto is having a rough September, but please don't fail me now.

 

[CygnusXS]

Maitan!

 

[Line_HTX]

ALL Marlins players will wear #16 tonight.

 

[Choomp]

ALL Marlins players will wear #16 tonight.

It's a nice gesture. I kinda want the Mets to do it too.

Ken Rosenthal had a nice idea on twitter today:

https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/780407641399037952

Something for MLB to consider: A Jose Fernandez spirit award, presented to the player who best exemplifies love and passion for the game.

 

[The Elite]

Just got near front row behind the plate tickets for Wednesday night's game against the O's. Free.

Hope Liriano brings his game.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Per Loria, the Marlins will retire the 16 jersey after tonight's game.

 

[GK86]

Per Loria, the Marlins will retire the 16 jersey after tonight's game.

That is awesome.

 

[kris.]

Per Loria, the Marlins will retire the 16 jersey after tonight's game.

good. i figured they would, just didn't expect it to be so quick.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Aside from the universal retiring of Jackie Robinson's #42, Fernandez's #16 will be the first retired number in Marlins history.

 

[Solidsnakejej]

Aside from the universal retiring of Jackie Robinson's #42, Fernandez's #16 will be the first retired number in Marlins history.

Technically the second, they retired number 5 from 1993 to 2011 in honor of the first owner of the marlins Carl Barger who died before the start of the first season.

I would expect this to be a permanent retirement.

 

[Choomp]

No more tears left. Ugh.

 

[jbug617]

Some of the players took to the field with tears in their eyes.

 

[GK86]

Really nice to see what the Marlins and Mets are doing.

 

[Farside]

I was just talking to my wife about Fernandez last week... talking about how it is going to be so great watching him pitchthroughout his career. Really sad stuff...

 

[DireStr8s]

Damn. Pretty emotional

 

[Slayer-33]

SNY crew is in tears, god damn.

This is heartbreaking

 

[Farside]

That speech by Stanton... wow.

 

[Choomp]

There doesn't seem to be a dry eye out there. This is really heart breaking.

 

[Zee-Row]

Aside from the universal retiring of Jackie Robinson's #42, Fernandez's #16 will be the first retired number in Marlins history.

It's fitting , had the tragedy not happened he was on his way to the hall of fame.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Just when you think you're out of tears, seeing Stanton deliver his speech to his team got me.

This is going to be rough.

 

[3N16MA]

Through 76 starts:

Fernandez: 38-17, 2.58 ERA, 2.43 FIP, 11.20 K/9, 2.70 BB/9, 0.60 HR/9

Gooden: 45-15, 2.00 ERA, 2.00 FIP, 9.52 K/9, 2.45 BB/9, 0.38 HR/9

The fact that Fernandez was even that close is amazing considering Gooden had one of the best starts to a career for a SP.

 

[CygnusXS]

Almost insane that they have to play a game now.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Almost insane that they have to play a game now.

Yea man pretty crazy seeing them crying on the field.

 

[KingBroly]

Marlins lead

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wow fucking tears man

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wow Dee.

 

[BigAT]

Wow, amazing. Dee Gordon goes yard in the first at bat of game, crying as he rounds third...

 

[Choomp]

You seriously can't write this stuff anymore. Wow.

 

[Windu]

HR nice
