MLB network did a ranking of the top 100 plays of the year. Frambers quality start streak and the double immaculate innings were top 20. The world series no hitter was #8, yordans walk off in three DS was #6, yordans homer in game 6 was #5, and the chas catch (named "The Bank Robbery") was #4.

Bank Robbery is a damn good nickname for the play.
I saw a guy in a Realmuto jersey at Epcot on Wednesday while wearing my Astros hat and gave him a big wave and smile. He flipped me off.
Sad to say my week of high fiving the many astro fans at disney world while trolling the Phillies and Yankees hat wearers and that one dumb kid wearing a Rangers hat comes to an end today.

Anyone got a link to that? I could only find 21+ on mlb.com.

It aired last night on MLB network. I don't think there's an article for it. I'm sure they'll replay it many times
So Chas' catch was the number 1 "play" as 1-3 were milestone accomplishments of 3k hits for Miggy, 62 hr for Judge and 700 for Pujols

Gotta admit, I was glad for Cabrera and Pujols to reach those milestones.
Edit: spelling
How about Framber going into Dodger Stadium and winning the All Star game? It's easy to forget that little cherry on top of this hot chocolate fudge sundae of a season.Deluxe said:

18 inning win
Yankees sweep
WS no hitter
Chas catch
The final out
Lots to be thankful for
I'm glad you mentioned that. I totally forgot about that awesome performance!
...And they didn't post 1-5 yet.
Appears this is the same thing without commentary
I didn't realize that the Phillies were also no-hit earlier in the year. We almost no-hit them the last week of the season.

The Luis Aparicio Award, which goes to the most outstanding Venezuelan players in MLB, went to Jose Altuve and Luis Arráez this year.

Santana, 36, put up league-average numbers last year despite a .352 expected wOBA, which projects for improvement. Further, he could be a beneficiary of the shift ban. And the Pirates and manager Derek Shelton — Santana’s first big league hitting coach — get necessary leadership.

Santana was worth 1.2 WAR with a 100 OPS+ last year, despite a .202 average. Him getting $6.7M suggests a very thin market for Yuli Gurriel, who is two years older (-0.3 WAR, 84 OPS+). https://t.co/adDdv7ZrmU

The Astros are one of the 11 teams who have checked in on Cody Bellinger, per @JonHeyman.

Fun Facts with Cory BellingerEastCoastAgNc said:The Astros are one of the 11 teams who have checked in on Cody Bellinger, per @JonHeyman.

"The Astros, Cubs and Giants are among the teams in play."
In 2019, he hit 47 home runs in 156 games.
From 2020-2022, he has hit 41 home runs in 295 games.
His slash in 2019 was .305/.406/.629 for an OPS of 1.035.
His slash in 2020-2002 was .203/.298/.385 for an OPS of .683
That's a drop in average of 102 points
A drop in OBP of 108 points
A drop in slugging of 244 points
And a drop in OPS of 352 points.

Maybe they just checked in to see if he was ok? Just seeing if he needed anything, maybe offering him one of the 2017 replica rings?EastCoastAgNc said:The Astros are one of the 11 teams who have checked in on Cody Bellinger, per @JonHeyman.

Don't worry. Astros aren't signing Bellinger. It's just his agent using Heyman's lack of journalistic integrity to help his player create a market.
Kinda like the "Astros want Rizzo" rumors designed to extract a few extra $$ from the Yankees.

The case for Cody.
Relatively cheap
Only a 1 year deal(low risk)
Can play a very good OF and 1B
High ceiling reclamation project

Like Gallo, he'd be way down the list for me but he might need to get creative if we blow our FA budget on JV.

He's chasing pitches some kind of bad. Maybe the Astros coaching staff can get him back to the plate discipline he had in his good years.
A lot can be forgotten in baseball when someone trots out a .900 OPS
And plays high level defense
Put him and Gallo in a shipping container over night, lock the container. Sign whoever comes out first the next morning to a league minimum contract.Farmer1906 said:

I think Bellinger is a great risk/reward signing. The question is: was his early success a big function of a cheating system or was it more natural and did his injuries force him to alter his swing? Baseball guys I'm sure know enough to make a qualified decision.
He can play 1B and CF. That's another good box to check.
For me the biggest issue will be attitude and how Altuve/Bregman/LMJ will accept him. He was very vocal about the trashcans and stealing the Dodgers ring.

Bellinger needs to lay off the bong rips before games. That might help his plate discipline.
consider that Jon Heyman might just be a liar
