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!
amazing that teams still pitch to Ohtani in high leverage situations
if the padres walk Ohtani in the 2nd inning, they win.
Potential case in point against "why pull your starter, he's cruising" right here
wind blowing out in philly?
I'm not saying I'd have pulled Severino there. But Wheeler is a much better pitcher than Severino overall and much better third time through the order.
Well didnt take long for the Phillies to give it right back
Diaz is not what you are going to want Met fan. Call up Verlander.
Lolndor.
lol Diaz
Diaz going Diaz. Megill 2 runs too late.
Spoiler
LOLMet
I'll take Harper to slump this post season. Read an article yesterday about how he will just duh obvious be a super hero in the post season again, and riffing off of that too simplified take I fade. That's what I do. Of course I'm a bit worried about how that one ages. 😀
Check. Just a dinger, two RBIs and two runs today, with .1200 slugging in series. I think on base of .625.
Vientos giveth
Vientos taketh away
Vientos giveth again
incredible
Interesting. Mets pitching is burnt, but obviously the Phil lineup can put up a zero for 18 innings against a Juco team.
This ****in' team right? MAGICAL
Phillies with unreal defense all game long.
Never trust a lefty dentist barber or closer.
BIG STICK NICK
Her name was Megill, and she called herself Lil. But everyone knew her as Nancy.
