2025 MLB Season Thread

Betts is absolutely a hall of famer

Yeah this dude is a joker who inspires no fear.

What the **** are they doing with the dirt here I don't get it

Now is not the time to fertalize the soil

Well that was unlucky

Yeah Betts is a stone cold lock for HOF. There's basically no way Fresh Prince gets there.

Not certain. He obviously is drawing close to dead to winning another MVP. And I would the O/U on his career HR total at around 400. Does 400 HRs and 1 MVP get you in? Not obvious to me that it does. It wasn't enough for Dale Murphy, who had two MVPs and played in an era in which power was more scarce than it is now. Betts was a great defensive player in his prime, which works in his favor.

When Andrew McCutchen (another small power hitter with one MVP) was the age Betts is now, you might have predicted that he would make the Hall of Fame, but he definitely won't make it.

THAT WAS A BALL THIS GAME IS FIXED

Here we go. Hard to ask for a better series.

Pretty terrible comparison all things considered

Mccutchen has a 52 WAR career with no World Series and is effectively done

Betts is at 62 and counting with 2 rings

Taht's where you are supposed to jump straight back at the ump and let it hit your shoulder.

THESE DODGERS HAVE NO BALLS

I think Betts will make it. Maybe Yama and Snell.

I can't believe Jeff Hoffman is their closer.

Like zero chance you pitch to ohtani if you get Rojas, right?

lolol

holy shiit

Noʻooooooooo

I knew the Jays wouldn't win.

Did not follow my strategy and not letting bombs.

Back to back here would be bigly.

Welp

too high

Worst hanging slider since Brad Lidge.

haha

smoltz: you don't mind giving up a hit here, but there's no way you can walk him

No. ****ing. Way

wow
