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!

Two Wild Pitches for runs?
Did Wild Thing need a new Prescription or something for his glasses?
To anyone on this earth who wants to argue Judge is on any level an equivalent to bonds find me any time in bonds’ life a team chose to intentionally walk kent to load the bases to face him
What's up with the entire American league being AIDS?

I think the answer is the White Sux. That's a bunch of free wins for the AL Central
Has Josh Naylor always been this fat? Jesus dude.
Speaking of Fat I just ate a Bounty of Rick’s goodness.
Lets get a Subway Series!!!
I swear these guys making millions who just can't use sound fundamentals to pick the ball up just make me wanna start cutting players during games.
lol jazz lol rizzo
Nice base running fellas
Avila looking a little rotund as well. Maybe they don't have salads in Ohio.
****it. I'm taking CLE to win the whole damn thing after this loss. Everything about the Yankee is too streaky. Bullpen overworked and shitty, YanK SPs suck, lol strikeouts in the lineup, lol Boone.
So is this a **** it prediction OR an "I'm a genius and want McMuffin to acknowledge me" prediction?

I said the same thing to one of my friends when this happened.
And granted Soto is a beast but that might be the first time ever in the playoffs someone got intentionally walked to face the best hitter in baseball.
Bonds in 96 postseason PAs before his head was larger than a Carolina Cross:
