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!
Seasons with 30 HRs, 40 doubles, and 10 triples in history?? Witt has done it this year. If you throw in 30 steals (he's 2 short), 100 RBIs, 100 runs, and 200 hits that's a pretty sick campaign and maybe unique in history, or at least modern history.
Willy Mays was kind of good at putting up those type of seasons, maybe he'll outdo him.
assuming this guy is a Bull Durham (movie) fan:
The Minnesota Twins released minor league catcher Derek Bender on Thursday after he told opposing hitters the types of pitches that were coming to the plate during at-bats in the game last week that eliminated his team from playoff contention, sources told ESPN.
yankees get the extra inning win vs. the red sox. shades of 2004.
eric fedde stinks
whatever moron in the crads front office thought he would be a good mid-season pickup should be fired (if they haven't been already)
Tigazzzzzzzz
dammit, gave up a hit with 2 down in the 9th
Still got the W.
LFG YANKS
bawhston 3 walks in front of Judge and then give up the grand slam to him to blow the lead lol. might as well just have walked him too even if it meant walking a run.
tl;dr nice pitching red sox a**holes
legend
More like Gerrit LOL. Every ****ing time I have money involved and he is pitching he sucks. Unbelievable.
Soto entering UFA at 25 after this kind of season with the yanks actually mattering and already being a massive piece of World Series winner….I mean the Ohtani contract was nonsensical bullshit, but this is gonna be the craziest contract we’ve ever seen

I'm almost certain that Uncle Steve will not be outbid.
Question then is do the Yankees match their outrageous offer?
doyers with quite the 9th inning 2nite
back to back to back HRs...damn
skenes goes DOWN
only goal left for the crads season is to try and finish a respectable .500
Tigazzzzz only 1.5 games out of the last wild card, just unreal
Ohtani is not setting the Dodger slugging % record for a season. Who holds that in the modern era (since 1960)?
Piazza?
If it isn't Bellinger, it's someone stupid like Pedro Guerrero, right?
Cole Ragans is a hero, btw. Just keeps coming through for me in DFS.
Michael King has some filthy movement for a sp or anything. Can see why he was in the Soto package.
Tigers-Mets World Series
Mets in 7
