It's funny how you guys are saying woulda, coulda, shoulda, about all of these specific plays. The same could be said for every other play of the game that didn't clearly change the outcome, but it could have if it was different.

I hate mlb fans, mostly the Dodger fans. They destroyed some shops in downtown LA. It didn’t make the news. The mayor congratulated the fans for celebrating ( mostly) peacefully!

Years ago, a friend from school used to say "if your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle" any time I used an "if" statement to talk about an outcome from the past so I've rarely used "if" statements since.

They should have also served jail time and fines.

Not every convicted criminal gets jail time.

Very well played, I’ll call it a 5-4-3 triple play.

Although the most famous of the head-scratcher type deals, it is hardly the only one.
• Bobby Bonilla (again): A second deferred-contract plan with the Mets and Orioles pays him $500,000 a year for 25 years. Those payments began in 2004.
• Bret Saberhagen: Will receive $250,000 a year from the Mets for 25 years (payments also began in 2004; this was the inspiration for Bonilla's deal).
• Max Scherzer: Will receive $105 million total from the Nationals that will be paid out through 2028.
• Manny Ramírez: Will collect $24.2 million total from the Red Sox through 2026.
• Ken Griffey Jr.:Received $3.59 million from the Reds every year through 2024 as the deferral from his nine-year, $116 million deal signed in 2000.
• Chris Davis: Davis' arrangement with the Orioles might make him the new Bonilla, as he collects $59 million in deferred payments during a 15-year stretch that started last year and continues through 2037. Davis will receive $9.16 million in 2024 and 2025, $3.5 million from 2026 to 2032 and $1.4 million from 2033 to 2037. |
