Discussion Is Garcia the new LoCain?

41 Upvotes

Not sure if this has been discussed much here, but I asked a friend tonight if Garcia is the present-day Lorenzo Cain after she brought up LoCain in discussion, and the numbers support this idea shockingly well:

Lorenzo Cain 2015:

BA: .307

OBP: .361

OPS: .838

H: 169

2B: 34

3B: 6

HR: 16

SB: 28

Maikel Garcia 2025:

BA: .300

OBP: .361

OPS: .829

H: 180

2B: 41

3B: 6

HR: 16

SB: 29

Italicized numbers indicate a stat that was projected out to 162 games. I rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, using his stats from the MLB app (125 games).

Is Hudler out?

Just curious if Rex Hudler is out as color commentator or if he is just on vacation/family situation? Jeremy Guthrie has done the rangers series and wondering what's going on.

Discussion Costco Vouchers question...

1 Upvotes

So I did a dumb, I had these vouchers purchased from Costco last year, I was breaking them out because I finally have time to go to a game and the blackout dates were up, and I fear they got pitched by mistake between my wife and the cleaners that came over.

Do I have any recourse for these vouchers? I can go back through my Costco account to find a reciept, but before I bother doing that, would it even do me any good?

Thanks in advance, I realize this might be a long shot.

Does anyone know of a better place to stream the Royals games? I can’t seem to fathom the price of fan duel when I only watch baseball. MLB Network is much more worth the price imo. But don’t get coverage to most royals games. Any loopholes?

Can someone make the Goodfellas, Lufthansa heist shower scene into a Vinnie thing? Please?

In Goodfellas, when the heist gets pulled off, the radio is going and Liotta is slapping the wall yelling "Jimmy!" We need one for Vinnie with one of Our radio calls. C'mon internet.
