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!
That guy wanted to be the next Steve Bartman but the umpire saved him with a great call.
Imagine having to sit there in the front row with that ball with everyone around you knowing you just have the Yanks a home run.
But to be fair, in the moment it would be way too easy to make that mistake.
He grabbed his son and got the hell out of there quick lol.
steal ALL the bases
Obscene baseball throwing a bunch of jazz up there and walking Lux to bring Ohtani up. Just obscene. That's Eckersley versus Mike Davis.
I'm a Yankees fan but that first call to Edman is an absolute disgrace to baseball.
omg that catch
well that sucks
wow
Peace.
two pitches
One does not simply choose to IBB the batter before Freddie Freeman
Freeman looks a bit like Jim Edmonds.
Man what a game
****
What a horrible ****ing pitch
isn't it fairly normal to use a good starting pitcher in the. ****ing. world. ****ing. series??? like instead of using some guy who hasn't pitched in a month?
put in your number 3 starter. have him throw 10 pitches. he can still start game 3 on monday
Blowing two late inning leads in a WS game? Not too great.
The home plate umpire still had a worse day than Cortez

I mean this ****** Boone pulls Cole at 87 pitches and uses Mark Leiter Jr in super high leverage spots
I remember in the 2003 WS
Jeff Weaver hadn't pitched in a month
Bc he sucked
And tied game bottom 12 weaver pitched
INSTEAD OF MARIANO
In 2018 Alex Cora did a great job using starters in relief with Boston
MAGA woman didn't even stand up. Must be a Yankees fan.
Seems like a weird decision to put someone in a high leverage spot who hasn't pitched in awhile.
This ump would have the plate if it goes 7 lmao

incredible
I stopped watching baseball a long time ago. I thought they solved this kind of thing by now.
I'm getting at least 10 pitches out of my Monday starter, and maybe 15 pitches out of my Tuesday starter before I'm putting in some shitty reliever

Nah they finally realized using your ace reliever in a tie game on the road in the 9th/extras was ok about 5 years ago.
It's pretty incredible actually.
As someone who has ALWAYS hated that useless **** Nestor: good
As someone who has ALWAYS hated the ****ing Doyers: bad
