2025 MLB Season Thread

Ohtani is just ridiculous at this point.

They're both 190-year-old skinflint losers.

lol Mets forever but I think the biggest mercy of the new playoff system here is that reds fans don’t have to waste money to go a playoff game thinking they have a shot in hell in amounting to anything

lol Mets, lol Uncle Steve, lol keeping Mendoza as manager (I like the guy but come on, your team shouldn't collapse like that...)

I like the Tigers, Pads, and Doyers to round out the night. +467 on Fd.

No one should be surprised if the Yanks lose in the WC or don't make the WS. With the exception of the Mariners, every AL playoff team has owned them this year.

Javy Baez

WORTH. EVERY PENNY.

Kimbrel, Jansen, and Chapman have roughly equal careers at the same age. The 3 best closers of the era. Chapman has the best post season career of the bunch. I'm surprised he never had a 40 save season. Kimbrel had 5 (including a 50) and Jansen had 4. Probably just an opportunity thing. But their ERA and IP and WAR is all about the same.

I would've loved to have seen what he could've done if he had been a starter. His arm has generally always been healthy.

Baserunning lulz. Also buntaments.

What a Cincy thing to do. Have the most optimal point scoring situation possible but not score any points

A masterclass in managing lol.

3 straight nights of Cincy thoroughly embarrassing themselves

Ohtani is Game Genie.

If this isn't evidence that the Mets should feed everyone into a wood chipper and start completely from scratch, I dunno what is.

This is easily a LOLMETS situation. You let this mediocre Reds team into the playoffs instead? Lol

Thank you for calling this terrible Reds team mediocre

The Reds' highest paid player is Nick Martinez ($21M) by a wide margin. They don't have another player with an 8-figure AAV. I'd be fine if these poverty franchises were ineligible for postseason play. Like, let's say any team not spending at least $175M can't play playoff baseball. Then at least we wouldn't have to watch this dumb **** unless the LOLMets make it.

Makes it even funnier that he sucked big time today.

He's not good and there was no good reason for him to be pitching as long as he did, and especially not against top of the order as a back-of-rotation contact pitcher. But Francona is brain dead.

Yesterday is gone. Today's parlay is Gaurdians, Red Sox, and Padres.

X-Post from Mets thread:

Cubs fan here. Taillon does not give me confidence despite him being decent this year and Darvish being less good.

Playoff baseball is so ridiculously good lol

Tigers implosion incoming...

Want to see Brewers take it all, but the most interesting to me is Brewers vs Phillies, so lets go Phillies, send the dodgers home.
