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!
What's with the Astros' mgr Espada leaving a pitcher in after 100 pitches in his first start of the season. ****ing dangerous.
LOL Mets
Yankees \ Dbacks. Holy **** NY is loaded with big dudes.

With the Yankees off to such a great start and the team actually being watchable and fun I almost forgot why baseball is less likable each year. Thanks for reminding me

lolMets rain delay still in the 1st inning and it is 8:45 local time. Supposed to rain all day wed, and some thu too. Just adding on to the 0-3 start.
I was joking about the no-hitter thing btw, and I doubt anyone, even the nuttiest stattaards, actually thought about pulling the 30 year old pitcher at any point before giving up a hit with a 10-0 lead.
start 0-4 at home to a big rival, then go 1-4 with a no-no, then get Haderized! to drop to 1-5. baseball Goat
Yordong is washed up
Tough start to the year for Mookie Betts. When was the last time a player started hotter than this? Bonds?
I'm for teams being aggressive and if you don't have multiple CS you aren't being aggressive enough, but dbacks had 1st and 2nd 2 outs with their best hitter at the plate and got busted on a bad double steal. Rodon was on the ropes too.
Yeah that was bad baseball.
DBacks ran out of position players leading to Boone intentionally walking their last position player to load the bases and face the pitcher with 2 outs. Can't say I've seen that before.
They had basically given up on the game when they sent him in to pitch so might as well let him strike out to end it too. Though it would've been swell if strike 3 was actually somewhere near the zone.
Yeah that pitch wasn't a strike. Ump was bad for both sides.
It's like that sometimes. The snakes can't blame anyone for this loss but themselves. Oh well. Wheels up for Atlanta.
Robot umps cant be here soon enough

I’m a Yankee fan and that strike 3 was pathetic. It’s the baseball thing where a rookie or shitty hitter gets a shitty strike zone. So dumb.
I wanted to see him hit and he looked capable of putting the ball in play
Here's a stat line you don't see every day.
Evan Carter, Ranger outfielder, started last year in low A ball and quickly climbed thru the minors to being a starter for the World Series run.
This year in 5 games and 15 plate appearances, he has zero hits. However, he has scored 5 runs, has an RBI, and an OB% of .318 courtesy of 6 walks. Wacky.
Tigazz @ Mets playing a double header today. 1st game heading to extra innings tied 3-3.
Predicting a position player pitches in the second game.
Lolmets. Blew a lead and losing in extras. Let's sweep the doubleheader tigres.
LOL Mets.
All aboard the Tigazz hype train!!
Lol Mets
