[2024] MLB Season Discussion Thread

[BigDaddy]

TBF, the Royals have only given up 16 runs so far.

I hope they keep it up!

Cleveland has an AL leading +18 run diff after 6 games. That is not something I thought I'd say. Sure, its only been 6 games, and it's definitely not sustainable, but the offense is actually scoring runs. Pitching staff is kinda boned, though. If Bieber gets hurt, the rotation is forked. If the Guardians are having a bad season by the trade deadline and Bieber keeps pitching as good as he has in his first two starts, he is definitely getting traded.

My fantasy team would appreciate any and all success from Tanner Bibee and Gavin Williams (currently on IL).

as bad as the Mets have been this year they are not the worst team in MLB, the Marlins are

I mean, they may have lost 2 more games, but the Mets have scored 8 runs in 4 games. The Marlins have scored 22 in 6. I'd argue the Mets are still worse.

Sorry, it's my job to heartbreak New York teams.

Alright, let's ask the Magic 8-Ball's opinion on the matter.

 

[Acceptable User Murder]

Maybe I'll start watching baseball again this year. Once I stopped having NESN and the Sox decided Mookie Betts was no longer needed I became less interested. We'll see how this year goes though - my wife has access to the occasional set of tickets through her work so every now and then she asks if I want to go to a game. Might be a year for saying yes to that.

 

[BigDaddy]

It happened again. Cole Ragans went 6 1/3 scoreless. The bullpen gave up 2 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th. Royals lost 4-3. The bullpen has given up 14 runs in 6 games, all in the 8th and 9th inning.

 

[MC74]

Jays losing 5-0 to the Astros. Shades of 2 nights ago.

 

[MC74]

Make that 7-0.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Cleveland steamrolled the Mariners, 8-0. They now lead the entire league in run diff with +28. They still haven't played at home and won't have a home game until Monday. The offense is firing on all cylinders right now.

Athletics appear close to Sacramento stopover

The A's appear close to severing ties with Oakland and making a minor league ballpark their interim home before the expected move to Las Vegas.

Sorry to our resident Mets fan, I have nothing against you all

 

[rktaker]

Marlins and Mets are a combined 0-11 of course the Mets haven’t played for a few days because of rain. They have a double header against the tigers today which I’m sure they’ll lose both games. obviously a much different roster but in 2005 the Mets started the season 0-5 and then won 6 straight games

 

[MC74]

It's official, A's are moving to Sacramento until they move to Vegas in 2028.

Oakland A's relocating to Sacramento for next three seasons

The Oakland Athletics will relocate to Sacramento for the next three seasons, the team announced Thursday.

I wonder if attendance will be worse in Sacramento than it was Oakland

Same. Knowing the team is inevitably moving to Vegas and how much Fisher has alienated the fanbase, it really makes you wonder.

 

[rktaker]

Mets finally get their first win of the season in game 2 of the Double header vs the Tigers getting no-hit in the 8th, MEts end up walking it off in the 9th and win 2-1

I think I like everything but the font on the text on the front of the jersey. The hat is probably the best part though.

 

[Jon]

Maybe they should consider a full time move to those jerseys.

I think most of MLB needs an overhaul, tbh.

 

[rktaker]

they need to have Fanatics not make the jerseys is what they need

 

[Dead2009]

Fanatics do not make the jerseys, Nike does. Fanatics is just the shipper. Everybody keeps forgetting this lol.

JJ Hardy is causing drama in Chandler, Arizona because his neighbors are pissed that he's building a baseball field in his backyard



What are odds shes the one whos gonna complain every night even though theyre on 2 different plots of land?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

If Bieber gets hurt, the rotation is forked.

 

[MC74]

Damn, that's brutal. Cleveland is going to be without their starter for the rest of the season and a portion of the next one.

Bieber is a free agent after this season. Now that Cleveland can't trade him, there's no telling where he'll end up next year...

He's not a Scott Boras client, but still....makes it all the more worse that it happened on the final year of his contract.

Mets shitting the bed after having a 5-2 lead against the Reds. The glories of Mets baseball.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

 

[Rick52]

the 5-1 tigers had their home opening against the Vagabond Athletics

barely avoid blowing the first game, lose the next two scoring a combined 1 run in them

good on them to kill their hype this early, guess they didn't want to pull a red wings and trick people in thinking they had made any real improvements this year (same owner btw)

 

[Quagmire]

Hope the Yankees throw all their money at Soto, love the kid

 

[Jon]

I hope the Yankees go broke and become the Pirates.

 

[rktaker]

Mets are bouncing back from their slow start, got a big win over the Braves last night apparently all they needed was to get out of New York I guess. I just hope that when they do go back home they don't completely forget how to play baseball again

 

[Dead2009]

Orioles with that sweep of the Red Sox though.

 

[rktaker]

Mets sweep the Pirates, good now let's never talk about the first 5 games of the season ever again

Rocky flight: FAA probes MLB coach's video post

In a since-deleted social media post, Rockies hitting coach Hensley Meulens is seen sitting in a pilot's seat during the team's chartered flight to Toronto. The FAA and United Airlines are investigating the situation.

[Quagmire]

I fucking love Juan Soto

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Against all expectations, Cleveland stands at the top of the league.

Record: 1
Runs Scored: T3 (with Dodgers who have played 2 more games)
Runs allowed: 2 (Royals are 1)
Diff: 1

3-0 in Extra Inning games.

I don't know how long this can last. People like to point out that the As are 7-8 when not playing Cleveland, but I don't know how relevant of an argument that is.

 

[Dead2009]

Shoutout to a fan getting Aaron Boone ejected in todays Yankees game lmao.

 

[Quagmire]

Shoutout to a fan getting Aaron Boone ejected in todays Yankees game lmao.

It's even clear on video that Boone's mouth didn't even move

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I'm all for shitting on the Yankees, but that kind of shit should not be happening...

 

[Dead2009]

I hope I never run into this goof at the stadium, because if I ever go for a home run ball and he feels the need to knock me out of the way, he's going over the railing. He has a history of jumping in front of kids to get every home run ball he can at every stadium he visits.

 

[Dead2009]

I am officially going to the Diamondbacks/Orioles game Saturday. I just cant wear the DBacks gear I have lol.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I can't wait for the Dodgers to be eliminated in the NLDS to a wild card team that got in with 89 wins and a slightly positive run diff. And a roster budget of less than 100 mil.

 

[Dead2009]

I get MLB moving games to ESPN and Fox on occasion, but to put a game on Apple TV AND blacking it out on MLB TV, is ridiculous, especially when the new owner of the Orioles is the guest Mr Splash tonight

 

[rktaker]

wonder what the Mets can get for Alonso

 

[Dead2009]

Orioles are riding a 2 game winning streak with the black city connect/white pants combo. The all black was a curse and a half.

Much-maligned umpire Ángel Hernández to retire from Major League Baseball

MLB players and fans alike were always been vocal about Ángel Hernández being one of baseball's worst umpires.

www.usatoday.com

Poor one out for the homies

 

[Rick52]

quite sad that he was allowed to get to a point where he is able to retire
