2024 MLB Season Thread
Nobody wants these games to start more than Mannfred.
Shohei just spoke to the media for the first time. In a prepared statement, he said:
-He never bet on baseball, or any other sport,
-He didn't know that Ippei lied to him, and that Ippei took the money from Shohei's account to pay his gambling debts
-He'll continue to cooperate with the investigation, and play as the investigation plays out.
If all that's true, then this is probably the best possible outcome for his reputation going forward. He's a naive star athlete who trusted the wrong person. It happens.
In any event, these games are about start! Last year, just like we all predicted, "Someone Else" came on strong in the playoffs, as the Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks for the World Series. Can that happen again?
T-Mobile is giving away a free MLB.tv subscription ($149 value) to T-Mobile subscribers starting TOMORROW (Tuesday 3/26 - April 1). Don't miss out.
So speaking of gambling, here are the current best odds for the World Series you can find, from Vegas insider!
Opening Day Goat
GOATing to subscribe
I will continue to question the wisdom of playing March games in Detroit and Chicago and Minneapolis, but Yay Baseball!
I realize there are some rainouts but no 1pm games on Opening Day is un-American.

Arizona just might have the best rotation in baseball this year.
Why is their win total only 84.5 and why am I not hammering it? I want to hammer it
I hammered it and I'm trying to hammer it some more.
It's still 9.5 hours till first pitch and I'm already wanting to be sitting at the bar outside the stadium waiting for gates to open. Let's get this day moving.
It succks that Trout is still with that shithole team. Thankfully Shohei is done gambling with that front office helplessly hoping they would do something right.
And he homers in his first AB!
Baseball is BACK

preemptive lol yankees
Nestor has already gotten 10 balls called strikes, and he's still down 4 in the 2nd.
txdome, thanks for joining the no-hitter pool you wanted me to get going again this season! Ya bum!
I had all the faith in the world that Verdugo would GIDP here with the bases loaded and one out. That he did it on 3-1 and probably ball four- chef's kiss

They wanted every team to play on opening day, so 15 games scheduled today.
But only 8 of those opening series are four games, the other 7 are 3 game series. So tomorrow had only 8 games scheduled. Two got added through those rainouts today.
lol steele lol cubs lol pitchers. dude tears hamstring fielding a weak ground ball all the way over by the first base line
