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!
Mets! Snapped KCs 7-game run like it was nothing. lol American League (sorry Schlitzy)
Crybaby rangers. Swing the bat bro.
Nah, Angel Hernandez should be fired... into the sun.
Ruins every game he touches.
if anyone else was as bad as Angel Hernandez is at his job, they'd been fired a long time ago and barred from that industry.
it really is a joke that he is STILL a MLB umpire. he should be dropping fries at McDonalds, that's all he is good for.
Angel Hernandez, everyone:
I watched that at bat live yesterday. I've been on the fence about letting robot AI call balls and strikes. Not anymore. Bring on the robots!
We successfully got rid of Cowboy West and Bucknor, I have to imagine Angel is next.
Next year they'll hopefully at least ease in with the challenge system they've been using at AAA. Then the next year just go full ABS.
Saw tonight that Lourdes Gurriel homered on his 21st AB with RISP. Is that a lot for this time of year?
Bobby Miller shoulder inflammation
Yankees beat Cleveland twice today. Now MLB best 12-3 record.
