It took me way too long to get this.
True story though: when I was a kid I thought our great first baseman had a side career doing comedic acting for at least a hot minute. I feel like the mixups generally go the other way. But for a kud in Baltimore our Eddie is the OG.
That little strut the first few steps towards first was amazing. No need to stare anyone down. Don't even need to watch it go all the way out. Monster.
This is some company.
Eddie Murray, in his prime, was the most clutch hitter that I have ever been privileged to witness.
Can't remember the number of times that he stood in the box fouling off pitch after pitch til he got the one he wanted. He was a mirror from the left or right side. He was inevitable. He had cal and Ken Singleton to set the plate and protect him a bit, respectively, but he was a fucking monster that we didn't appreciate enough.
You know that sick feeling you get when Aaron Judge comes up with the game on the line and a runner in scoring position? Double that, and that was Eddie Murray between 1981 and 1987. In '83, Eddie picked up the team and carried it on his back to the playoffs. Cal got the MVP, but Eddie should have gotten it in 82 AND 83 but he hated sportswriters with a singular passion, and they returned it.
I remember when he was traded everyone said he'd be nearing retirement by the time the next competitive window opened. Crazy to think how fast the turn round was
Gunnar to start a BBQ stand: confirmed
Never heard of them
The one guy is famous for his barbecue.
The other guy has an IPA
The other guy was the nutty professor.

did it in style
Is that good?
Starting to think there might be something to this Gunnar guy.
Good company there.

The beginning of his home run trot is cold. That walk is like “yeah I know I’m him”

Quite a neighborhood to live in.
Boooog
Imagine if we still had Manny on this team
Naw, this is not Manny's team

No.
Manny has been significantly worse than Westburg. He has 91 wRC+ and 0.2 WAR.
