I have no idea how Teddye won that award. It's hard to even say he's played well. Im in no way saying he's been atrocious and a Brandon Stephens level liability, but I've seen plenty of really terrible snaps from him. And not a ton of real gamebreaking snaps positively. Seems to me like he's playing at a very low end starter level. Which is impressive! But how could there not be any rookie playing better than that?
It’s surprising that he won that award but he’s been pretty damn good.
 


the steelers and watt even talked about moving him around the LoS this year so that teams couldn't scheme him out of the play... and yet...
he's clearly just a RT predator merchant lol and because of that you can take him out of the game

he talks now about feeling like plays lined up anywhere else are wasted opportunities - but that's such a selfish view of a defensive structure - he might not always rush or defend from an ideal spot, but it might create better opportunities for his teammates to make plays or allow the team to take advantage of mismatches

This World Series has been so good, Game 7 and extra innings. Hopefully this won't go 18 innings like Game 3 did.
 
If Toronto goes out like this, that’s a tough ass loss. I know they’re fucking HURT right now
I don't know how Baseball would do it, but man they need a salary cap. Dodgers can basically buy Championships while small market teams struggle to even bring in free agents because they can't compete money wise. The Orioles have built a great young core but I'm already bracing for them leaving to go to the Dodgers or Yankees for money the Orioles can't compete with.
 
I didn’t like the bunt to get Guerrero on third. Shouldn’t be taking easy outs there, you got a guy on base it should be Homer or bust there
 
What a crazy Double play to win it all, first repeat champions since the 1998-2000 Yankees. You got to feel for Toronto, they played tough. The Dodgers payroll was $350M while Toronto's payroll was $255M. That is simply just way too much of a gap in payroll, big market teams can buy championships every year. Baseball needs some kind of salary cap to nerf the Dodgers from tossing money out there.
 
I didn't want to say anything when I saw him running his mouth, but once I saw this, I had a feeling the Dodgers were gonna come back from 3-2. The aubrey curse lives on.....
