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!
lol nationals
first they blow a 5-0 lead. then they lose the game in extra innings on a strikeout passed ball which let the crads score the winning run
Dbacks just scored 6 runs in the 9th to take the lead
wtf is going on with pitching today lol
****ing Yankees.
In honor of Lou Gehrig, I'm watching The Pride of the Yankees (1942) movie tonight.
It's airing on MLBTV network tomorrow night at 7:30PM.
TBD.
It will most likely be a snake draft of Baseball's greatest players who came through in the toughest moments.
I've played around with the idea of using all of the positions like a regular lineup. Or drafting a smaller, fixed number. I think this may depend on how many partcipants there are.
Mclovin and I discussed the possibility of omitting Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, and Clemens.
There will be an emphasis on the quality of write-ups. In my mind this will be like an extension of Cooperstown. I
Really fun draft potential guys!!!
Let's have a (base)ball and join!

Apart from the .600/1900/2500 slash line, Reds prospect Rece Davis might be bidding to set some kind of record regarding most career XBH before hitting a single. He hasn't hit for the cycle career yet. 😃 Two games in he has two doubles, two homers and a triple in his five safeties.
You've got the wrong Rece.
back to one game over .500! hype!

ADAM the robot will be slinging drinks at this year's All-Star game.
Have some thoughts on this, but I'm an old, so nobody probably cares.
I care CowboyC. I always care what you have to say. You're great.
Ohtani and Judge in a dead heat for total bases going into today with 233. I think it's the 8th most pre-All-Star break.
Are the New York Yankees attempting to bring The Bad News Bears to life?

You and I have always held hands regarding his ineptitude!
The Phillies are way in 1st place and are having one of the best seasons. Who else had them winning it all at the start of the year?!?
Trevor Bauer 10-0 with a 1.78 era in a high offense mexican league (league avg. ERA is 5.25) 117 K's in 81 innings. Whatever their award for best pitcher is, he's a lock.
Robinson Cano must be back on the juice there, he's batting .450 to lead the league.
