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!
Francisco Lindor might be the biggest loser "star player" in the game. Guy sucks and is all about vibes. Man on 2nd no out K in a tie game was the most predictable AB and killed them
Also Adam Ottavino still pitching big innings on a major league roster is incredible. Guy hasn't been good in like 5 years
Diaz should have pitched that 8th inning
mets get their first win of the season in walk-off fashion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lettuce
Goeth
Metropolitans
On their way to 157-5 !!!!!!!!!
Alonso is ridiculous. Pops up strikes all day long and golfs a homerun off the plate
Nice little 8 spot for the Royals in the 7th. Almost as impressive as Lugo pitching into the 7th inning and only giving up a run
Sux it had to be the Tigazzzz, but congrats Mets' fan lol
Marlins fittin to crush the O's record 21-game losing streak to open the 89 season?
Now that the Yankees abandoned the let’s get a bunch of dudes who hit a home run or strikeout analytics strategy and have actual hitters who get on base, how long are they going to let Stanton clog the cleanup spot to strikeout with said actual hitters on base?
This reminded me to see if Joey Gallo was still in the league. Yep.
He's been in the bigs for 10 years with a career .197 avg.
Spoiler
Washington Nationals
Giancarlo's BA the past 3 years. .211, .191, .150. At least Callo can play in the field.
Tigazzzz
Robert and Eloy are both already hurt for the White Sox
BRAVES get 1 in the 8th, and 2 in the 9th to tie it up, and walk it off in the 10th!!
…Very tough showing by the Snakes’ rookie SS. Boots a routine grounder up the middle in the 9th to let the lead off hitter on. Then doesn’t get called off by the left fielder going out for a popup behind third to let the tying run score. To cap it off, strikes out with men on 1st and 2nd and one out in the 10th.
Sorry ec!
Thru 8 games, the As and Marlins both have a -30 run differential.
Pretty impressive.
Spencer Strider is getting an MRI tomorrow for right elbow discomfort.
Ruh roh
Hit a 4-teamer
Tigazzzz
Royals
Red Sox
Rangers
Was +796 lol
😀 I mashed it
i see 10% of the in season mlb thread post is still loling on the mets.
carry on
:(
I think he’s already had TJ surgery once.
No word on surgery or rehab yet.
Still, looks like we won’t see him for a while in the best case scenario.
Bieber out for the year. Bad day for Braves and Indians fans.
Bieber gave everything he had in start 1 apparently. He was nails and I was happy to see him back, alas
